Paresh Rawal, a well-known Bollywood performer, just verified that he is returning to the Hera Pheri series. The veteran actor also discussed the difficulties facing Hindi film in an interview with Himanshu Mehta on his podcast, pointing out high ticket prices and comparing the pricing model to the more organized, slab-based pricing model used by South Indian cinemas.

The selection of topics, according to Paresh, is one of the main factors contributing to the poor performance of Hindi movies. He said that the growth of OTT platforms throughout the lockdown had a big impact on audience preferences by providing a wide range of high-quality content. Consequently, audiences have changed, but filmmakers have not kept pace.

The high cost of tickets in Hindi film is criticized by Paresh Rawal

In addition to the exorbitant ticket prices, he pointed out that ticket prices in the South are regulated and normally do not exceed ₹200. "It's bad if the aam janta (general public) rejects your film and only the wealthy class supports your films," he observed. When a middle-class family of five or six people goes to see a movie, their expenses run up to between Rs. 5,000 and 6,000. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the movie will meet your expectations. In addition to that, the youngsters will naturally want ice cream, soda, and popcorn, all of which contribute to the cost.

The concept of reclining seats in multiplexes is criticized by Paresh Rawal

Additionally, Paresh criticized the recliner seats found in multiplexes, stating, "You are meant to sit while seeing a movie. It cannot be seen lying down. You've come to see a movie, not to a spa! In addition, waiters are constantly moving about. We must tell them "Hatt, hatt." It's a movie, not a wedding ceremony. All of this gandagi—gold class and everything—makes you not want to go to the movies. You can sit comfortably on a seat. However, why lay down with a pillow? If you want to sit like that, go to a spa or to watch a mujra!
