People are wondering whether star producer and distributor Dil Raju is not having any Dil? It is known that ahead of Venkatesh, Varun Tej's F3 release, Dil Raju promoted it in such a way that they are screening the film at reduced ticket rates in the theatres for the benefit of the movie lovers. Dil Raju said he had taken the decision as the increased ticket rates are turning out to be a burden for movie lovers, especially family movie lovers who stopped coming to the theatres. As such F3 tickets in Multiplex costs Rs 295 and if one book online, it comes to Rs 330 including the convenience fee.
Many hailed his decision and praised him for setting a trend in Tollywood for the benefit of the people encouraging them to come to theatres. However, the point many are missing is, Rs 295 ticket rate is the rate that the film industry got after the Tollywood delegation repeatedly requested the Telangana and AP state governments. As such the makers of top stars films, request the respective state governments for a bigger hike on Rs 295 for the first ten days and so the tickets for the top stars' films costs Rs 400. So this shows that Dil Raju did not do any favor for the movie lovers and so people are commenting that Dil Raju is not having any Dil.
This is in stark contrast to Adivi Sesh's Major. Adivi Sesh and the makers of Major have taken a decision to screen the film at the pre covid ticket rates. Thus, the maximum ticket rate for Major in the multiplex is Rs 150 and even if convenience fees are added it comes to around Rs 180. This shows who cares more for the movie lovers, Dil Raju or Adivi Sesh?
