But now the Karnataka government has given a big relief to movie lovers. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced that the maximum price of tickets in all cinemas and multiplexes across the state will be Rs 200.

Presenting his 16th budget, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that the maximum ticket price in all cinema halls and multiplexes across the state will be Rs 200. Not only the ticket price, but the government is also taking many important steps to promote Kannada cinema. The state government is now going to launch its own OTT platform, so that Kannada films and web series can get more viewers.

Government’s own OTT platform

Recently, big names of Kannada film industry like Rakshit Shetty and Rishabh Shetty had complained that big OTT companies are not showing much interest in Kannada content. Many times producers do not get any digital platform for their film or web series. In view of this problem, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has decided to create the state government’s own OTT platform, so that regional cinema can get a new platform.

Rakshit Shetty’s production company ‘Paramvaah Studios’ had to launch its own platform to stream its web series ‘Ekam’ in July 2024 after no major OTT platform showed interest in buying it.

Government initiative to preserve Kannada films

The government is also taking a big step to save the history and culture of Kannada cinema. The Chief Minister announced that the state government will create both digital and non-digital archives at a cost of Rs 3 crore. In this, films that show the social, historical and cultural heritage of Karnataka will be preserved.

Filmmaking is a major economic sector, but till now it did not get industrial status. The Siddaramaiah government has decided to give the cinema sector the status of ‘industry’. This will provide filmmakers with many economic and administrative facilities under the government’s industrial policies.

Plans for new multiplex and film city

The government has also announced the construction of new facilities to promote the film industry in the state. A new multiplex will be built on 2.5 acres of land of Karnataka Film Academy in Nandini Layout, Bengaluru. It will be developed under the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model.

There are also plans to build an international-standard film city in Mysore. The estimated cost of this project will be ₹500 crore and 150 acres of land has been allotted for it.

Tanveer said that the government should have amended the Karnataka On-Demand Transportation Technology Aggregators Rules, as there is no provision for autorickshaws.

Pasha said that if the Transport Department had given correct information to the High Court, the court would have directed the government to amend the rule. The transport department also did not take the Regional Transport Authority of Bengaluru Urban district on board.

The minimum fare is Rs 30.

The Karnataka government has fixed the fare for autorickshaws. The minimum charge is Rs.30 and above that Rs.15 per kilometer can be charged. Thimmappa, an autorickshaw driver, said that this fixed fare does not seem very high, but it is difficult to estimate how these companies will charge people.
