Supreme Court Slams Multiplex Madness Over Sky-High Prices!

You know how watching a movie in a theatre used to feel like a small festival? A place where everyone, students, families, even the bored office crowd, escaped into a story together. Now, it’s turning into some kind of luxury trip. The ticket price alone can give you mini heartburn, and don’t even get started on the popcorn, it costs more than your lunch. Finally, someone had enough. The Supreme Court has stepped in, and man, they sound as annoyed as the rest of us.

The whole mess started when the Karnataka government decided to cap ticket prices at ₹200, which honestly sounds reasonable. But multiplexes weren’t happy. The case ended up in court, and the judges just let loose. They asked straight up, how fair is it to make movies feel like they’re only for the rich? And that bottle of water you’re forced to buy inside? Yeah, the Court called out that daylight robbery too. The message was pretty simple: movies shouldn’t make people feel broke for trying to relax.

Things got spicy when the judges dropped a warning. They told theatre owners to bring down their crazy prices, both tickets and snacks, or be ready for a massive shocker, the court might let people carry their own food inside. Now imagine that ,walking in with a tiffin and a thermos instead of standing in line for overpriced nachos. It’d totally wreck the multiplex snack game, and everyone knows it.
