Hyderabad: A video from a PVR theatre in Hyderabad is going viral on social media after a man claimed that he was denied entry despite having a valid movie ticket.
The incident reportedly happened when the man went to watch a film at night. According to the viral video, theatre staff stopped him at the entry point, allegedly suspecting that he had consumed alcohol.
Man Claims He Was Not Drunk
In the video, the man can be seen arguing with the theatre management. He claimed that he was not drunk and questioned why he was not being allowed inside the cinema hall.
The argument soon caught public attention, as people nearby started recording the incident. The video is now being widely shared online, with many users discussing theatre entry rules and customer behaviour.
Breath Analyzer Shows 0.060 Reading
The main point of discussion is the breath analyzer reading. The man reportedly claimed that the test showed 0 percent alcohol. However, the reading visible in the video is said to be around 0.060.
This has created confusion online. A 0.060 percent Blood Alcohol Content, BAC, does not mean zero alcohol. It generally indicates that alcohol is present in the body and may lead to some level of impairment.
Can Theatres Deny Entry To Drunk Customers?
Theatres and malls usually have the right to stop people who appear drunk, aggressive, or disruptive. These rules are followed to maintain safety and comfort for other moviegoers.
However, such cases should be handled carefully. Staff must follow proper procedure and avoid public humiliation. At the same time, customers are also expected to cooperate with security checks and theatre guidelines.
After the video surfaced online, many users felt that the man misunderstood the breath analyzer reading. Some supported the theatre staff, saying public places must maintain discipline.
Others said theatres should clearly display their entry rules so that customers know what is allowed and what is not.
As of now, the matter is based on the viral video and social media claims. An official response from PVR or the concerned management would give more clarity on the incident.
