Pushpa 2 ticket prices reduced

According to 123 Telugu, Pushpa 2 faced criticism for its unusually high ticket prices in the Telugu states. Benefit show tickets in Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Telangana (TS) were sold at rates of ₹800 to ₹1,000. Even after the benefit shows, ticket prices remained high throughout the opening weekend. In many single screens, ticket rates exceeded ₹300, making it challenging for a significant portion of the audience to watch the film on the big screen.

Why were the ticket prices for Pushpa 2 slashed in AP and TS, and will this boost its collections past ₹1000 crore?

Starting Monday, which marks the beginning of the film's first week run at the box office, ticket prices have been reduced across most areas in AP and TS. This is expected to bring some relief to moviegoers. For single screens, tickets are now priced at ₹200 in both states, while multiplex tickets cost ₹395 in Telangana and ₹300 in Andhra Pradesh. Reduced ticket prices are expected to help the film gain more momentum at the box office in the coming days.
