Cinemax, PVR and other multiplexes in Hyderabad
Exploitation of movie going people

Dear Sir,

Most of the multiplexes are exploiting people with exorbitant prices for the beverages they sell. Example is a medium sized popcorn is priced Rs. 75/- and small onion somosa 2 pieces is priced at Rs. 40/-. On top of they restrict do not allow people to carry any packed food. When questioned all they can comeup with is 'management rules'. They make such meaningless rules to exploit people. They don't even spare families carrying some food items for the sake of children. Worst case is that the Cinemax security did not allow us into the theater because my 4yrs old kid is drinking a small tetrapack juice, saying that their management rules do not allow us to take food inside. Not even something that is in the process of being consumed. Their tyrannical behavior is very disturbing and inconvenient.

Please let the public seeking entertainment know:

1. Do the multiplexes have such immense freedom to price basic, common food items so high

2. Does any govt body monitor them?

3. Why do they have to insist on not allowing food inside? Unless they want to force people to buy their expensive stuff.

I have heard others having similar grievances, but usually we keep quite and allow them to take us for a ride.

Appeal to other surfers, please share your experience in this regard.

thanks

Acha
