Producer Tutu Sharma’s ‘Citara Entertainment’ is set to launch brand new multiplex chains aimed at providing affordable multiplex experiences in Tier-II and Tier-III cities across India.
The new multiplexes would offer tickets at a 30-40% slashed price as compared to the average rates. To make entertainment much more accessible, tickets are expected to range around ₹150-175.

This makes it a lucrative deal for many middle-class families and budget-conscious audiences who often find multiplex pricing to be unaffordable.
A recent study has shown that the demand for retail and entertainment spaces has significantly increased in Tier-II and Tier-III cities due to rising disposable incomes and lifestyle aspirations.

The reactions on social media regarding this announcement have been highly positive, with people applauding the effort to revive cinema in such cities where single-screen theatres have been declining fast.
