Popcorn and a cold drink are two things that usually enhance the experience of watching a movie in a theatre. However, it has started becoming a problem for moviegoers as the prices of food inside a cinema hall are quite high. Sometimes, these popcorns and cold drinks are so expensive that their rates are even higher than the ticket prices. There have been several complaints made by people on social media, but it has had no effect on their prices. But now, PVR, a multiplex chain, has brought in some discounts on the prices of food after a person tweeted about his experience of the skyrocketing prices of popcorn and a cold drink.
