The entry of Multiplexes has almost killed the future of single screen theatres and in one way it is good also that you get to feel totally new environment, different from those old fashioned single screen theatres. And now if you see, most of the people go to multiplexes only. (Talking about Mumbai) And these multiplexes are taking advantage of this and trying to make some quick bucks by looting people.

Imax Adlabs Wadala – Most of the time I visit this place for many movies, excellent place and environment. But ticket rates are not fixed. If the movie is Amitabh Bacchan (or any super star) starrer, the price of the tickets will go up. I had paid Rs. 175 per ticket for flop movie, Family (2nd day) which is approx. 50% extra compared to normal rates. (Normal rates are around Rs. 110 stall and Rs. 130 upper stall). The food inside the multiplex is very good but again, the prices….I had to pay Rs. 25 for 1 lt. water bottle, which costs Rs. 11-15 outside. 450 ML coke costs Rs. 40 (outside Rs. 20), a pack of popcorn costs Rs. 40 (outside Rs. 10-15 max). and they sell Sugarcane juice too…Rs. 40+ lol, we get it for Rs. 6 outside…

Now, let’s take a look at R-adlabs Mulund, this one is costlier than Imax (Imax is far more better than Radlabs). These guys have started real loot. Yesterday, I paid Rs. 130 for the ticket (stall) for the movie Gangster. (It released 2 days back) After 4-5 days, rates will go down for the same movie and will be reduced to Rs. 100 instead of Rs. 130. and that’s more…the food and beverages are extremely costly inside. 450 ML coke costs Rs. 45 (Imax Rs. 40), Pack of popcorn costs Rs. 45 (Imax Rs. 40)…I know, the difference is only Rs. 5 but the main part is, quality and theatre environment. Quality of popcorn is bad and theatre is nothing, compared to Imax…

But whatever the theatre environment is, points here is, there should be some law which should restrict these guys to sell things at exorbitant rates but I do not think so it will be possible in near future…..
