The Maharashtra government on Friday announced that moviegoers will be free to carry outside food inside the multiplex from August 1. The government further directed the multiplex owners that there should be no difference in the MRP of food products sold outside and inside multiplexes in the state. A decision had got everyone talking on social media. While most supported the decision of not paying a steep price for products, they were little sceptical about the viewers carrying their own eatables.
