After purchasing tickets @ Rs.150/- each, I alongwith my wife had gone to see the movie 'Adventures of Tintin' 3D (E) which is being screened at Cinemax, Dona Planet, Guwahati, on last Saturday the 26/11. As we were entering the theatre, at the table where the 3D Glasses were being distributed, the attendants asked for an extra payment of Rs.20/-, @ Rs.10/- per ticket, for the 3D Glasses. When I protested & asked for receipts, the attendants bluntly told that they are charging same from everyone and no one is protesting and that they are collecting same for maintenance.
I may add in this connection that for last sevaral years, I had being living in Hyderabad and had watched sevaral 3D movies in IMAX & also other theatres there. But no extra charges were taken for use of the 3D Glasses. Moreover, in Hyderabad, the 3D Glasses are distributed in a hygeinic manner, each packed separately, but at Cinemax, Guwahati, they were distributed openly, without any packing and we felt very uncomfortable and uneasy using them.
