Can Cinema/Movie theatre stop you from taking water and snacks inside?


There are different Cinema regulation Acts in a different state. If you check the Gujarat Cinema Regulation Act, there is no clarification regarding snacks. So you can try to go with the snacks inside the Cinema. If they stop you, you need to put it outside. if you are good at the argument you will succeed to enjoy own snacks along with the movie.


According to recent RTI done by a guy as per A.P Cinema Regulation Act, you can take food and water inside the multiplex in the same state.


Here interesting thing is that Cinema never says no for the water bottle. you can take the water bottle from outside (packaged drinking water) or from home. The reason behind this is that water is a basic necessity of human beings, you may spend more than an hour inside the cinema so you may need drinking water. They can never deny you for drinking water.


You can read another blog to avail of free drinking water inside the movie theater.


you can complain to state consumer helpline if they deny for water inside the multiplex

Is higher MRP legal inside the theater?

As per the legal metrology, the multiplex cannot sell the same water bottle with a higher rate which is available outside at different prices.


let's elaborate it. let say water bottle which is available Rs.20 outside the same brand or the same water bottle cannot sell Rs.60 inside.
