Obviously, it is clear that Telugu movies are so popular that the business generated by them is huge in monetary terms and every producer who invests money in a film expects a decent return through the sale of movie tickets majorly. As the business has changed, so is the mode of ticket booking. Movie tickets are booked heavily in advance and this booking process is facilitated through various channels.There are many firms who have stepped on to the entertainment scene and have set up their own business model on the internet, simultaneously raising the overall quality of entertainment business and offering convenience to the audience.
