Furthermore, even normal multiplex seats in major cities are being sold for ₹850-₹900.
"Sikander" Tickets Priced High in Single-Screen Theaters Too
Single-screen theaters are typically considered affordable for mass audiences, but the demand for "Sikander" is so high that ticket prices have increased significantly here as well. At Plaza Cinema in Dadar, Mumbai, recliner seats cost up to ₹700, which is considerably high for a single-screen theater. While some cities still offer tickets in the ₹90-₹200 range, prices are rapidly increasing in high-demand locations.
