Apart
from
Fanaa's
release
just
around
the
corner,
Yash
Raj
Films
also
has
the
distribution
rights
of
some
of
the
biggest
films
this
year.
Krissh,
Kabhie
Alvida
Naa
Kehna
and
of
course
their
own
production
Dhoom
2
to
name
a
few!
Clearly,
the
production
house
is
the
big
daddy
of
Bollywood,
and
they're
making
sure
that
everyone
knows
that.
Their
distribution
division
has
asked
all
the
multiplexes
in
the
country,
for
a
higher
share
in
the
profits.
And
if
they
don't
do
so,
they
will
not
be
allowed
to
exhibit
their
films.
What
this
means
to
the
average
cine-goer
is
that
he
will
have
to
shell
out
more
cash
to
watch
a
Yash
Raj
Film.
Apparently,
weekend
rates
at
multiplexes
might
go
as
high
as
Rs.225.
This
move
is
finding
a
lot
of
opposition
from
the
cinema
owners.
With
the
production
house
demanding
a
higher
cut,
the
audience
will
have
to
bear
the
brunt
of
the
revised
prices.
Some
exhibitors
are
accusing
the
Chopras
of
making
unfair
demands.
The
production
house
on
the
other
hand,
justifies
this
move
by
stating
that
their
production
values
are
very
high.
They
pump
in
crores
of
rupees
in
a
film
and
deserve
a
higher
cut.
And
while
this
tussle
between
the
two
sides
continues,
the
only
loser
is
the
audience.
