Mumbai's civic body has proposed raising the entertainment tax on film shows from ₹60 to ₹400, a nearly sevenfold increase. Exhibitors warn they may pass the extra cost to cinemagoers, with one estimate suggesting a ₹5–10 rise per ticket. The tax applies per show, not per ticket, squeezing theatres and distributors already facing weak attendance.
