The anticipation for Salman Khan's film 'Sikandar' is reaching new heights among fans. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss, this much-awaited film is set to release in theaters on Eid, March 30. After a hiatus of nearly one and a half years, this marks Salman Khan's major release. The trailer, released a few days ago, has only increased the excitement among fans. This overwhelming enthusiasm for Salman Khan's new film has resulted in a hike in ticket prices for 'Sikandar'.
Increased Ticket Prices for 'Sikandar'
Fans are eagerly booking tickets for 'Sikandar' in advance, leading to a surge in demand and consequently, a rise in ticket prices. In several multiplexes, 'Sikandar' tickets are being sold at INR 2000. Meanwhile, in single-screen theaters, ticket prices have reached INR 700. 'Sikandar' advance bookings opened on Thursday, March 27. By the end of the day, Book My Show had opened bookings for nearly every theater across the country.
At Mumbai's Plaza Cinema in Dadar, the evening show's recliner seats are priced at INR 700. This is considered a high rate for any single-screen theater in Mumbai. While some attribute this to high demand for the film, industry insiders worry that higher ticket prices might deter audiences. Typically, single-screen audiences prefer purchasing lower-priced tickets. However, in comparison, states like Delhi offer tickets at a range of INR 90 to INR 200.
