“I hear you. I don’t end up paying so much for movie tickets in Bombay because I usually watch them in single screen cinemas or compare prices across places and look for the cheapest shows.

I’m sure there are older theatres (typically single screen) charging far less than the newer mall multi-screens. This is certainly true in Pune, and perhaps Mumbai as well.”

One Twitter user wrote, “Idk this might be an unpopular opinion but watching a movie on your laptop/tab in the comfort of your comfy bed & wrapped blanket with your fav food is way better.”
