By: Tupaki Desk | 28 Jan 2026 7:57 PM ISTThe ticket rates issue has been troubling the Telugu film industry for a long time now, and the matter had been under the jurisdiction of the Telangana High Court correspondingly. Now the High Court has issued an interesting statement on this matter and let us have a look into the same.
The High Court has made its position clear on the ongoing controversy surrounding the hike in cinema ticket prices, stating that the issue must be resolved at the level of the single judge itself.
However, until a final verdict is delivered, uncertainty continues to loom over the Telugu film industry. The lack of clarity on ticket pricing has become a major concern, especially for big budget films lined up for release in the coming months.
Movies like Peddi, which carry high expectations and massive investments, are directly affected by this confusion. Ticket pricing plays a crucial role in revenue projections, release strategies, and overall planning for producers and distributors.
The court pointed out that petitions challenging the ticket price increase are already pending before a single judge and directed all concerned parties to raise their objections before the same bench. By doing so, the High Court indicated that there is no need for parallel proceedings until the matter is conclusively decided.
With no immediate resolution in sight, theatre owners and filmmakers remain in a wait and watch mode. Release schedules, promotional strategies, and financial calculations are being impacted as stakeholders hesitate to take firm decisions. The industry is now closely watching the single judge’s ruling, as it is expected to bring much needed clarity and stability. Until then, the uncertainty surrounding ticket price hikes continues to cast a shadow over upcoming major releases.
