[Resolved]  Food Outlets In Pvr / Inox Cinemas — Exorbitant cost for food & beverages with no MRP

Food — Food in Fairs

Dear Sir / Madam,
It is a common sight to see food vendors selling food at more than the marked price in fairs.If enquired some reply, saying it is towards the electricity charges and some keep quiet.
Recently, I bought a double scoop ice cream cone of Dineshaw priced at 50/ head, at Palace grounds Bangalore, the lady vendor was rude and arrogant.
Other items like coffee, tea, dosas are priced at double the normal price.Tetra packs of juices are charged Rs 5/ -extra.
If suitable action can be taken against such unscrupulous vendors, it would be nice.

your observation is very valid. cinem complex, airport food stores, exhibition/fair food stalls charge hefty amount for food. in enquired with Competion comiision of india and they are willing to accept the complaint but not on behalf of individual. they have some fees (rs 5000) as well...

Hi Prem,


I agree that PVR is selling food at very high cost (with no MRP ) in comparison to the market. We should run a strong campaign against this.

Lets assume that charging high prices are still tolerated and ignored. The security guards doesn't even allow water bottles inside of theatre. This is seriously not human.
