Already the governments have come under criticism for allowing abnormally high rates for these shows. And now, this untoward incident will put even more pressure.
Nothing is more valuable than human life. It will be criminal if a life is lost in a film theater just for watching a film or a star hero.
The family will regret for life for their decision to go there.
They may have paid 3000 or even more to watch a film and now, one member of the family is no more and the other is critical.
The Governments have become haphazard in allowing the prices and special shows for films.
While the prices have already become a talking point, imagine allowing seven shows a day that means the theaters will run almost 24 hours a day.
At some theaters, police have to be deployed especially on the Release Day. It is not always possible because the department has many more duties.
The Governments will now be forced to take some big decisions as far as these Premiere Shows, Midnight Shows, Benefit Shows, etc. We will have to see if they will cancel these shows altogether.
This should be a lesson for star heroes as well. Going to theaters for the Special Shows is nothing but inviting danger. Here a family is complete shattered!
