What is the cost of a cold drink in the multiplexes?

Bachchan's recent post about drink prices at theatres is likely to spark a conversation across social media platforms. It also raises the question of whether the megastar is aware of the ongoing discussions regarding the high cost of food in cinema halls. Sometimes, a simple glass of cold drink can cost more than the movie ticket itself, and food items can be priced at double the ticket price.

At various multiplexes, the price of a glass of cold drink ranges from Rs 150 to Rs 500. Talking about Sholay, the film is considered one of Bollywood's most iconic movies. Released in 1975, the movie has achieved massive success. In Sholay, Bachchan played the role of Jai, a loyal and witty friend to Veeru, played by Dharmendra.
