Coolie Ticket Prices: As the release date for Rajinikanth’s much-awaited Coolie nears, fans across the country are gearing up to grab tickets. But for some moviegoers, the excitement is slightly dampened by the huge difference in ticket prices between states. According to current listings, Tamil PVR tickets are priced at ₹183, while Hyderabad PVR tickets soar to ₹453. This massive ₹270 gap has left Telugu audiences questioning the fairness of such pricing.
Industry insiders point to several reasons for the disparity:
State-wise ticket price regulations: Tamil Nadu has strict government control over ticket rates, keeping them low to ensure cinema remains accessible.
Market demand and costs: In Hyderabad, flexible ticket pricing means producers and theatres can charge more during high-demand releases.
Premium format charges: Some multiplexes in Hyderabad factor in additional costs for luxury seating, screen quality, and overall ambience.
Social media is buzzing with memes highlighting the difference, with Telugu fans joking that they’re “paying the producers directly” rather than just buying a ticket. The playful banter reflects a mix of frustration and admiration while many are unhappy about the steep rates, they still want to experience Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life performance on the big screen.

For filmmakers and theatre owners, higher ticket prices in certain regions can mean quicker recovery of production costs. Big-ticket films like Coolie often bank on such strategies to maximise opening weekend revenue, especially in markets willing to pay a premium for early shows.
Whether you’re paying ₹183 or ₹453, the Rajinikanth mania remains the same. The only question is, will the movie’s magic make every rupee worth it? or not? Findout on 14th August in theatres near you!
