Indian cinema tickets are getting pricier - but not everyone's complaining
Movie ticket prices in Indian cinemas have been steadily increasing, with the average cost rising by 47% in the past five years. Rising prices are causing some moviegoers to cut down on trips to theaters and opt for cheaper streaming services. While multiplex owners argue that ticket prices offer value for money, some states have imposed caps on ticket prices, sparking a debate about nationwide regulations to ensure prices are not so high that they deter audiences from enjoying the cinema experience.
