H1 FY26 Revenue Run-rate delivered said Q2 FY26 Promised: Sustain H1 FY26 revenue levels in coming quarters Q1 FY27: Q1 FY27 revenue of ₹111.8 cr continues to meet and exceed the original target run-rate of ~₹110.15 cr/quarter. The promise, with a target of Q4 FY26, remains achieved.
FY26 Capex went quiet said Q2 FY26 Promised: ₹40-45 crores Q1 FY27: The target period (FY26) has passed and no update on the final capex figure was provided. The promise remains unverified.
Local Advertising Revenue on track said Q3 FY26 Promised: Mature into substantial revenue over a five-year horizon Q1 FY27: Management mentioned exploring digital ad boards in theatre lobbies as a future opportunity, but noted 'our arrangements with theatres are largely focused on on-screen advertising.' This is consistent with the long-term, early-stage nature of the promise.
