Film Release Execution Risk
Despite a strong pipeline, historical erratic release cycles pose a risk; management acknowledged past issues and aims for 4-5 releases per year.
OTT Margin Dilution vs TV
Management admitted OTT margins are significantly lower than TV due to finite series and lack of long-run yield, which could pressure overall profitability despite top-line growth.
Cash Locked in Inventory and Working Capital
Inventory rose from ~73 crores to ~207 crores, and management expects 125-150 crores locked in films at any point, posing liquidity risk if releases are delayed.
