screens mattum vishayam illai ..... the stereo, the cost of digitalizing the whole cinema stuff, then investing on the furniture to fit the world standards, also a theater cannot handle more than say 170 ppl ... so lot of things ...
only venture capitalists who are new could afford ... existing theater owners ... not everybody can afford ! yeah, thats why have VCs... to get the investment back soon, the ticket prices willl be high around the 150 rs mark.... but these days, we pay 150 or 200 rs in a B centre theatre like vetri or vidya to watch FDFS in black.. so athukku we can watch in multiplex for the same rate with higer quality...

FDFS can be only for those previleged 170 ppl .... appuram enna .... ? my concern is about existing theater owners ... who may not afford to spend more on mulpx
