In the southern states — Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh — the tickets will be priced at Rs 100 + GST while audiences in Telangana will have to pay Rs 112 + GST.

The development comes months after the Multiplex Association of India (MAI) observed National Cinema Day by offering tickets for Rs 75 on September 23. The initiative was a resounding success with theatres reporting almost 100 per cent occupancy.

Cinema Lovers Day comes at a time when several Pongal releases are vying for the audience’s attention in the southern states. Viewers will now get a chance to watch Varisu, Waltair Veerayya, Veera Simha Reddy, and Thunivu at a discounted price. Moreover, a slew of new films will be hitting the cinemas this Friday, which cinephiles can enjoy at Rs 99 only.

The reduction in ticket prices is also expected to provide a push to the sales of tickets for James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water. The visual drama is having a dream run at the box office in India and continues to break new records. Avatar 2 has already grossed Rs 470 crore in India, crossing fan-favourite Avengers: Endgame. The slashed ticket prices are expected to make the film accessible to a wider audience.
