Telangana High Court Issues Fresh Guidelines on Movie Ticket Price Hikes

The ongoing controversy surrounding movie ticket price hikes has taken a significant turn, with the Telangana High Court issuing fresh directions that could have a major impact on the film industry. The court has stepped in once again to regulate the process of enhancing ticket rates across the state.

In its latest order, the High Court directed the Home Department to grant permissions for ticket price hikes at least 90 days prior to a film’s release. While the move aims to bring transparency and regulation, the directive poses practical challenges for the industry, particularly for Tollywood.

Film release schedules often change due to delays in shooting, post-production, or other unforeseen issues. Big-budget films, in particular, rarely adhere strictly to their announced release dates. With the court’s order mandating advance approvals, securing ticket rate hikes may become increasingly difficult.

As a result, the feasibility of increasing ticket prices in Telangana now appears uncertain. The industry is closely watching how this development will affect upcoming releases and what steps filmmakers and producers may take in response to this unexpected judicial intervention.
