Telangana Govt Rejects ‘1 AM Benefit Show’ for Game Changer
Telangana Government’s Decision on Game Changer Shows
As Ram Charan’s much-anticipated film Game Changer prepares for its grand release on January 10th, the producers and fans were eagerly looking forward to additional screenings, especially the ‘1 AM benefit show’. However, the Telangana government has rejected the request for the late-night benefit show due to the recent controversies surrounding the Pushpa 2 stampede incident. Despite this, the government has granted approval for six shows on January 10th, starting from 4 AM.
Ticket Price Hike Approved But no 1 AM Benefit Show
Along with the screening of additional shows, the Telangana government has approved a ticket price hike for Game Changer. The new government order allows a hike of ₹150 for multiplex theaters and ₹100 for single-screen theaters on the existing ticket rates. From January 11th to January 19th, there will be five shows per day, with an additional price increase of ₹100 for multiplexes and ₹50 for single-screen theaters.
Government’s Rationale Behind Approval
The Telangana government’s decision to approve the additional shows and ticket price hike comes in recognition of the film’s high budget and the huge expectations from the audience. The film is expected to draw a significant crowd, with fans eagerly awaiting its release. However, the government has also attached a specific condition to the approval: all screenings must include advertisements addressing the adverse effects of narcotics, drugs, and cybercrime.
There is no 1 AM Benefit Show: What This Means for Game Changer Fans
While the rejection of the ‘1 AM benefit show’ may disappoint some fans, the approval of six early morning shows and the ticket price hikes still offer plenty of opportunities for moviegoers to experience Game Changer on the big screen. This decision aligns with the government’s attempt to balance entertainment with social responsibility.
As the release date draws closer, fans can look forward to the film’s exciting screening schedule, ensuring that Game Changer will make a big impact at the box office.
