By: Tupaki Desk | 7 March 2026 9:42 AM ISTThe corresponding weekend at the United States box office is going to be a pretty significant one as we will be witnessing multiple new big films arriving at the ticket counters. The discussion around ticket pricing for Indian films in the United States has once again sparked debate among cinema lovers. Recently, the ticket prices for two upcoming Telugu films have caught the attention of fans.
While tickets for Dhurandhar The Revenge are reportedly priced around nine dollars, tickets for Ustaad Bhagat Singh are said to be selling for nearly twenty five dollars in several locations across the US.
This huge difference in pricing has triggered criticism from many moviegoers on social media. Several fans argue that Telugu distributors in overseas markets often fix very high ticket prices, especially for films starring major actors. According to them, the main reason behind these prices is the strong belief that dedicated fan groups and passionate cinema lovers will watch the film no matter how expensive the ticket is.
Many viewers feel that this approach puts unnecessary pressure on regular audiences who simply want to enjoy a movie in theatres. They say cinema should remain affordable and accessible to everyone, rather than becoming an expensive experience.
At the same time, some people in the industry defend the pricing strategy, pointing out that overseas distribution costs, theatre rentals, and promotional expenses are also high. However, critics argue that consistently increasing ticket prices could eventually discourage casual viewers from coming to theatres.
As the debate continues, many fans believe the industry needs to find a better balance between business profits and audience affordability. They say fair pricing will help build long term trust and encourage more people to enjoy films on the big screen.
