More burden to people for Entertainment

Hyderabad December 29 : Cinemas in Telangana and Andhra pradesh have got the go-ahead from Hyderabad High Court to hike ticket charges.Justice Raja Elango here on Wednesday directed the two states to constitute committees on ticket rates headed by the respective home secretaries,but in the meantime permitted theaters owners to immediately hike fares.Counsels for the two governments that the GO was issued prior to bifurcation and cannot be made operative. The said, "in view of changed circumstances coupled with the conversion of some of the theaters to multiplexes by raising advanced infrastructure and by meeting the highest maintenance, the GO does not appear to be proportionate and warrants revision."The judge wanted the committees to consider the welfare of cine-goers primarily and the grievance of the exhibitors and distributors and frame the rules by March 30, next. Justice Elango permitted the petitioners to run their theatres by collecting their proposed ticket rates after duly informing the authorities, till the committee fix the admission rates.
