Karnataka High Court stays notification capping film ticket prices at Rs 200

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday stayed a September 12 notification issued by the state government capping film ticket prices at Rs 200, Bar and Bench reported.

Justice Ravi V Hosmani issued the interim order on a petition filed by multiplex owners and film producers challenging the state government’s decision.

The notification to cap prices at Rs 200 was part of the recently amended 2025 Karnataka Cinemas Regulation Rules. The price ceiling, which excluded taxes, applied to all screenings, across languages and theatres, including multiplexes.
