The Karnataka government's draft notification to cap movie ticket prices at ₹200 across theatres, including multiplexes, has sent ripples through the industry, with analysts warning of significant revenue impact and potential setbacks to names such as PVR INOX, Cinepolis, and Carnival Cinemas.
The state government on Tuesday proposed amending the Karnataka Cinemas (Regulation) Rules, 2014, introducing a new sub-rule under Rule 55, that mandates ticket prices for all shows cannot exceed ₹200, inclusive of entertainment tax, regardless of film language. The draft is open for public feedback for 15 days.
