Will ‘Book My Show’ Bend To Dil Raju’s Proposal?

Actually when the issue of selling tickets on “Book My Show” at high prices arose, many thought that the film industry folks are actually worried about the audience getting looted from the ticket selling app. But insider reports already revealed that the worry of distributors is not about the conveyance fee being levied by BMS, but about the ‘share’ the app is taking out from the distributor’s part.

Yes, mega producer Dil Raju has now jumped into the scene to sit with Book My Show folks and sort out the issue, as the Nizam rights of Bheemla Nayak are with him, and he’s not allowing the app to sell tickets. They say that after charging a fee from the user, BMS actually takes up an 11% cut from the actual ticket price as their share, and that is worrying the distributors.

Now, Dil Raju and other distributors are said to be asking the app not to charge more than 5-6% as their share. They say that the app got nothing to do with the investments being poured by distributors to buy the film, except for providing a software platform to sell the tickets.

On the other hand, the audience is feeling that apps like BMS are the ones that made buying tickets an easy thing as it saves a lot of their time because the earlier one used to go to theatres and stand in queues to buy tickets. And some audiences also feel that it is the app design that made this possible, so there is nothing wrong with the BMS part to take some share.

On the other hand, distributors are expressing their anguish that without owning a theatre, making a movie, or buying a film, apps like BMS are literally looting them. And they are giving examples of how the likes of Uber which doesn’t own a single car are actually controlling the cab business across the world. We have to see what happens.
