Cap on Ticket Prices
The earnings of Nani-starrer in Andhra could have been better if the cap on ticket prices were not imposed by the state government.

Earlier, the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly passed a bill to further amend the AP Cinemas (Regulation) Act, 1956, making it mandatory for exhibitors to sell movie tickets only through the online booking platform, to be operated by the state Film Development Corporation. The Bill replaces an Ordinance issued on November 9.

As a result, the ticket prices in high-end theatres in urban locations cannot exceed Rs 250, the price of tickets is capped at Rs 120 in rural areas. Also, the admission rate for economy classes on single screens is restricted at Rs 5! However, the High Court suspended the state government's GO. Nonetheless, permission for the special shows were not given by the local authorities.

Nonetheless, it is considered as a good collection especially when Allu Arjun's Pushpa is ruling the box office. The film had hit the screens last week and did close to Rs 200 crore at the worldwide box office in the first week.
