Basic etiquette is essential for ensuring a pleasant experience at multiplexes. However, a recent video circulating on social media highlighted a blatant disregard for such manners.

Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Ashwith Harshavardhan, the clip showed several individuals in a PVR multiplex resting their bare feet on the seats in front of them, sparking anger among social media users.

The clip began with a person filming multiple moviegoers who propped their feet up, showing no consideration for those around them. The exact location of the incident could not be verified by Moneycontrol. The video has accumulated over 250,000 views, with many expressing their disapproval.

One user commented, "Indians have no moral compass or ethics!! It is always mighty vs innocent and not good vs evil!!" Another added, "Those people be like why should only gold class have all the fun."

The video also prompted calls for action from cinema chains. One user stated, "This is really very offensive... @PicturesPVR should really take care of these kinds of issues. I have seen most people recording through mobile, that's also a big issue for all filmmakers & distributors @INOXMovies."

Another user suggested, "Some put legs on the middle of the chair even when persons sit in the front chair. It will turn into a bad habit. There must be surveillance and someone to send the audience out who behaves like that. Also, 'no legs on front seats' should be attached on the back of every seat in all tel, en, hin langs."

However, not everyone was offended by the behaviour. One user argued, "If it's a recliner, you wouldn't have an issue. If it's an empty seat in front, people want to relax. I wouldn't do it personally, but I am not offended. It's ok to relax and enjoy the film."

Another pointed out, "If you are so disturbed by this, the manager's room will be within 100m distance from you. Why can't you just go and complain and solve it? It will be easier than taking a video and tagging PVR for a solution."
