In this digital age, booking movie tickets online has evolved, providing convenience through apps like BookMyShow. However, a recent decision by the promoters of Salaar cinema in the Nizam area has sparked excitement and also chaos.
The traditional method of selling tickets exclusively at theaters was suggested by Mythri movie makers in Nizam, assuming it would create buzz through the resulting chaos, captured for promotional purposes. Yet, when the bookings opened, a frenzy erupted among Prabhas fans. The situation escalated to the point where the police intervened to control the chaos. Videos showing police actions to manage crowds, have gone viral online. These incidents, captured and shared widely on social platforms depicted Prabhas mania.
The stardom of Prabhas and the euphoria around the movie Salaar is surprising many trade analysts. Salaar is expected to register one of the biggest openings for a movie all over.
Yet, despite the joy of some witnessing Prabhas’ immense popularity, criticism erupted on social media due to a handful of people who condemned this old-fashioned method. While Salaar’s fans appear thrilled about the increased excitement, this method raises worries, especially about the safety of people at ticket counters.
Moreover, the scarcity of tickets sold at theaters risks upsetting the audience, leading to impatience and frustration. Many on social media are lambasting the minds behind this idea, citing it as regressive and impractical in today’s digital age.
As the criticisms surge on social media, it’s evident that the approach chosen by Salaar’s promoters might have generated buzz but at the expense of convenience, order, and potentially, ethical concerns.
