“Rs 430 For Coke, Rs 720 For Popcorn” – Viral Post On Cinema Food Prices Sparks Online Debate

Over the past few years, the cost of food and drink at cinema halls seems to have risen sharply. This has often concerned moviegoers who remain loyal patrons of watching films on the big screen. Recently, an X post on the topic sparked a fresh debate online. X user Aditya Shah posted a screengrab of the prices of some items at an unnamed theatre, as listed on Book My Show. He wondered aloud about who was paying such high prices at these locations. In the caption, he wrote, “Book My Show has some crazy rates for food in theatres. Rs 430 for Coke, Rs 720 for Popcorn. I mean who orders this food at such obnoxious prices?”
