Exorbitant pricing at malls
POPCORN MAFIA
What is happening in malls. Apart from prices of movie and parking being exorbitant, what was too shocking and alarming was the cost of popcorn. Popcorn being charged at 100, 200 and 300 rupees.
The actual cost of these pack of popcorn shd be not more than 5 rupees. Even after considering the various other costs involved, they can charge at 20 rupees, or 30 rupees, but y more than 300% of the cost.
When the matter was took up, the vendor said, as long as we have takers, we will charge.
Why r we wasting our hard earned money and make these fellows rich.
Let's curb the temptation and let's boycott this popcorn and teach them a lesson.
One average show at one screen has Atleast 500 people and if 300 people buy this popcorn they make easily 25 to 30000 rupees in one show in one screen, u will be shocked to know that this money runs in lakhs per day per show in just one city.
Come on friends lets voice it up, if we stop buying popcorn at malls, it's sure within 3 months the cost will come down to Atleast 50 rupees, if not 20.
It may be forwarded to as many groups as possible so that this msg becomes viral and reaches maximum people and we stop this looting by malls. more

Most the viewers do not eat Popcorn at all but definitely going eat it at the multiplexes and complaint for over charging. Dear Readers....Why have it? Don't eat it. There are other things to eat it. Please try to understand that the owner is paying huge amount of rent to the owner of multiplexes and actually who pays i.e. WE PEOPLE. more

Yes the price is 300% high. It is not affordable for a common man. Till it is sold like hot cake . Even the price is 500% , it will be sold as the people have plenty of money earned in easy way. But the question is where is the Government? more

Some sort of regulator is necessary. They cannot impose restrictions on people. Security is bent upon checking our bags only for food, etc. Security is not bothered to check other aspects. more

We are not even allowed to carry our own drinking water in bottles from home or purchased outside the cinema halls. The security at the entrance asks us to leave all the edible items including water an do not even return back to us while leaving their premises. it is a sort of "Goonda Raj" of the cinema whether single screens or mutiplex. In India, it is a crime to get entertained and the people who want the entertainment are punished by the various agencies involved namely the distributors who charge exhorbitant amounts for a movie ticket, the cafeterias selling eatables, water and coldrinks who openly loot the already fleeced movie watchers and last but not the least, the parking charges paid to park the vehicle inside the cinema hall compounds. more
