In Bengaluru, some theaters have set ticket prices as high as ₹800, while Hyderabad has also seen a surge in rates, consistent with the trend in major cities. Premieres are scheduled to kick off at 5 PM across various locations, indicating that the film’s opening night promises to be a major event in the cinematic calendar.
