Going to theatres to watch movies can cost you a lot. Sometimes the price of the tickets goes up to Rs 1000. Today, the minimum price of a film ticket is at least Rs 300. Considering this price, if you take your family to the theatres it may cost Rs 1500-2000. If you even consider going to a single-screen theatre, then also the price of the tickets is nothing less than Rs 200. As a result, many people avoid visiting theatres nowadays. Moreover, with the advent of OTT, people prefer to watch films while sitting in the comfort of their houses. We have seen low box office collections for many films that have recently turned into a point of concern for filmmakers. Do you know that earlier the tickets used to start from Rs 5? There was one film that became a huge success with such low pricing of tickets. Let us know more about the film in detail.
The film we are talking about here is Pelli Sandadi. It was released in 1996. The film reportedly collected more than Rs 11 crore, but the theatre tickets of the film started from just Rs 5. The price of the tickets went up to Rs 30 in some theatres. The price still looks very cheap as compared to the prices of today. As per media reports, the film was made with a budget of Rs 1.5 crore. It was a massive hit at that time. Audiences flocked in large numbers to watch the film at the theatres.
Pelli Sandadi was directed by famous director K Raghavendra Rao.
