Sivaji, The Boss - Rich are getting richer because fools pay $16


Rajini laughing mockingly at the foolish desis - Idhu Eppadi irruku!

The Rajnikanth blockbuster Sivaji is being screened in the USA across 80 theatres. In most cities the price of a ticket is $16 bucks. I am a big supporter of capitalistic policies which encourage the larger mass to have opportunities to make money with minimal government interference. But I am a staunch opposer of the trend especially in India where conniving businessmen plan to make humongous profits by creating unnecessary hype. Sivaji tickets being sold for $16 bucks is one such example. I personally feel that the people involved in bringing the movie into US just want to capitalize on the Sivaji mania and make a quick profit out of it.
Usually Desi movies are priced around $10 and I believe that's fair given the fact the number of people making it to these movies. But $16 is REALLY UNFAIR.

I really wanted to watch the movie but I have decided to boycott it. I hope many more desis do the same and teach the organizers a lesson.
As Sivaji himself says in the movie, the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer and I wonder why ?
