Sky-Hugging Pricing At The PVR Noida
A man posts a photo of his snacks bill from PVR Noida, exposing the sky-hugging pricing.
It is not unexpected that seeing a movie at a theatre involves excessively expensive tickets as well as a variety of other extra costs. Even a standard-sized popcorn and cola will leave your pockets empty if you want to see a movie with refreshments at a multiplex.
Criticism For Selling Pricey Snacks
A man criticizes a theatre for selling pricey snacks. Ajay Bijli, the chairman of PVR Cinemas, explained why popcorns are so expensive.
Tridip K Mandal, a journalist, lately exposed such an awful encounter at the PVR Cinemas at Mall of India, Noida. Tridip intended to see a film with some snacks, but the pricing of regular-sized cheese popcorn and Pepsi startled him.
The Bill
The individual proceeded to Twitter to share a snapshot of the bill showing the price increases, and it rapidly went popular since many others were able to relate to the emotion.
Tridip additionally compared the pricing to an annual Amazon Prime Video membership. In India, the latest Amazon Prime Video yearly subscription costs roughly Rs. 1499, while Amazon Prime Lite costs Rs. 999 per year.
Rs 460 for 55gm of cheese popcorn, Rs 360 for 600ml of Pepsi. Total Rs 820 at @_PVRCinemas Noida.
That’s almost equal to annual subscription of @PrimeVideoIN.
