Hindustan Times reports that tickets for Falguni Pathak's Navratri Utsav 2026 at Mumbai's Jio World Convention Centre (October 11-19) have triggered a backlash, with prices ranging from Rs 2,200 for a single night to Rs 2.04 lakh for a POD package for up to 12 people. The premium season pass for all nine nights is priced at Rs 20,000 per person.
Fans on Instagram called the rates 'daylight robbery' and said ordinary families are being priced out. Many criticised the choice of an upscale venue, arguing that Pathak's appeal was her connection with crowds at affordable public grounds. The organiser, TribeVibe Entertainment, opened bookings on August 13.
The Rs 2.04 lakh POD ticket has invited cries of 'daylight robbery', but a single-night entry at Rs 2,200 is not outlandish for a curated show at Jio World Convention Centre with AC and food coupons. The real dispute is whether Navratri, traditionally a free, open-air community dance, should be priced as a premium event. The test will be whether Falguni Pathak's season passes actually sell out or leave empty seats.
