Risks

Multiplex business :

Assuming that the cinema halls will open in 2-3 months which are shut due to covid19 lockdown. Any further delay may affect the multiplex business

Movie Production:

There is almost no risk as movie production is already low for the last 3-4 years.

But any further covid19 lockdown due to wave3 may delay the production of the new movie.

Whistling woods:

The resolution of the WWI land issue has been delayed for the last 2-3 years due to Elections, drought & Covid19. Any delay in the opening of the Mumbai high court will delay the WWI land resolution which is the biggest trigger for the stock price.

Whistling woods have an annual intake capacity of 425/450 for various above courses.
The current student strength is around 1300.

They also have an virtual academy which is an online curriculum. All the master classes done by legends like Dilip Kumar, Lata mangeshkar , Amitabh Bachchan, Yash Chopra, Shah rukh etc are available for online learning

WWI cannot scale it;s operation. it’s already operating at full capacity.

The annual revenue of WWI for FY 20-21 was around Rs 55 Cr.
But it can provide talent needed for Production of Films & Digital Content.

One day’s up move and several technical analysts have started extrapolating it for short term upsides. Cinema halls are opening in Maharashtra this Friday. All the best…

That resolution has been expected for a long time now. Hope it’s closed soon…
