RESPONDING to the demands from various segments of the Tamil film industry, the Tamil Nadu government on Wednesday announced rationalisation of cinema entry tickets across the state. It has also agreed to quash an earlier government order permitting theatres to increase entry tickets during the first fortnight of a new movie release.
The government has fixed a maximum ceiling of Rs 50 for AC theatres in corporation limits like Chennai, and a Rs 10 minimum rate. In the case of non-AC theatres, it will be Rs 7 at the lower end and Rs 30 at the higher side.
The move is likely to hit hard a number of multiplexes (which normally charge Rs 100 to Rs 150) being planned by PVR, Inox, Shringar, Adlabs and Cinemax in the state.

And the problem is that the Tamil film industry and TN politics have had this long-running incestuous relationship, that stupidity of this sort passes off without a second thought.
