The question this issue poses

In one sentence

Sunshine Pictures is a Mumbai production house behind Hindi feature films and series, and the record describes a model of selling distribution rights rather than tickets: films and associated rights were 89.68% of FY26 revenue from operations of Rs 74.44 Cr, and the top five customers 74.81% of it. Revenue fell in both periods the record covers, from Rs 133.80 Cr in FY24 to Rs 103.33 Cr in FY25 and Rs 74.44 Cr in FY26, while profit after tax went from Rs 53.35 Cr to Rs 34.46 Cr and then Rs 40.02 Cr. The Rs 282.14 Cr issue, banded at Rs 342 to Rs 360, was 61.25% fresh capital (Rs 172.80 Cr) and 38.75% an offer for sale (Rs 109.34 Cr); on 20 August 2026, the only subscription day the record carries, it stood at 105.81 times overall. It listed on 25 August 2026 at Rs 395.90, 9.97% above the band top of Rs 360, closed that first day at Rs 369.20, and last traded at Rs 390.60 on 23 October 2026.

Below the line: market sentiment. Capped at 8 of 100 points so a hot grey market can tilt a score but never carry one.

The company

What the business actually does

Founded 2007 · Andheri (West), Mumbai, Maharashtra · 28 employees

Sunshine Pictures is a Mumbai production house that originates, develops, produces and sells the distribution rights to Hindi feature films, web series and television serials. It was incorporated in July 2007 as Energetic Films Private Limited, became Sunshine Pictures Private Limited in 2010, and took its present name in 2024. Its debut production was Force; later titles include Commando: A One Man Army, Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty, Force 2, Commando 2 and The Kerala Story. As at the prospectus date it had produced thirteen commercial films — seven co-produced with studios, six self-produced — plus two web series, three TV serials and one short film. It has since added music and YouTube originals verticals, and had 28 people on its own payroll in June 2026.

The company sells rights, not tickets: studios and independent distributors buy theatrical, OTT, satellite and music rights, so revenue arrives in lumps tied to release dates. Films and associated rights were 89.68% of FY26 revenue from operations of Rs 74.44 crore, and the top five customers were 74.81% of it. Production is outsourced — 150 to 300 crew per project against 28 payroll staff — which keeps fixed costs low but ties output to the slate. The structural constraint is working capital: a project cycle runs 15 to 30 months, and net working capital at 31 March 2026 was Rs 126.46 crore, or 169.89% of revenue from operations.

What the issue does to ownership

Share of paid-up equity before and after the offer. The promoters give up 25.1% of the company.

Hover or focus a segment to see who it is. The two bars are the same company, measured before and after the offer.

Percentages are of paid-up equity, and the “after” column assumes the offer is fully subscribed, which is how the offer document states it. This record does not disclose a pre- and post-issue share count, so the part of the company actually changing hands is not split out — everyone who is not a promoter is shown together.

Demand

What the market is bidding

Subscription is hard exchange data. Grey-market premium is not — it is an unofficial quote, shown because readers want it and labelled because it deserves the label.

What an allotment is worth now, before costs

Work it out

What this means for one application

Three calculations, each stating the assumption it rests on.

What one application costs

Shares are applied for in whole lots at the cut-off price. The full amount is blocked in your bank account under ASBA, not debited, until allotment.

Lots
1 lot, 41 shares, ₹14,760 blocked
Shares applied for
41
At cut-off price
₹360.00
Amount blocked
₹14,760

One lot is 41 shares at ₹14,760. Retail applications are capped at ₹2,00,000, which allows up to 13 lots here — apply for more and you are bidding as a non-institutional investor instead.

Odds of getting an allotment

When the retail category is oversubscribed, SEBI requires a lottery for the minimum lot. Every application has the same chance, whatever its size.

This is an estimate of a lottery, not a prediction. Actual odds depend on the final basis of allotment, how many applications were at the minimum lot, and rejections for technical reasons. Applying from multiple distinct PANs is the only legitimate way to hold more tickets in that lottery.

Our read

The case for and against

Grounded only in figures disclosed in the prospectus. This is analysis, not a recommendation.

What works

  • Profit after tax was Rs 40.02 Cr in FY26 against Rs 34.46 Cr in FY25, a rise of 16.13%, on revenue 27.96% lower at Rs 74.44 Cr against Rs 103.33 Cr.
  • EBITDA margin was 78.65% in FY26 (Rs 58.55 Cr on Rs 74.44 Cr), against 49.12% in FY25 (Rs 50.76 Cr on Rs 103.33 Cr) and 55.28% in FY24 (Rs 73.97 Cr on Rs 133.80 Cr).
  • Net worth rose in both periods on record, from Rs 70.60 Cr in FY24 to Rs 105.07 Cr in FY25 (up 48.82%) and Rs 145.13 Cr in FY26 (up 38.13%), while total borrowings fell in both, from Rs 16.67 Cr to Rs 11.16 Cr and then Rs 9.09 Cr. Borrowings were 23.61%, 10.62% and 6.26% of net worth in those three years.
  • On the final day, the only subscription day the record carries, the book stood at 105.81 times overall: non-institutional 197.04 times, qualified institutional 123.52 times and retail 56.60 times.

What to weigh against it

  • Revenue fell in both periods the record covers: Rs 133.80 Cr in FY24, Rs 103.33 Cr in FY25 (down 22.77%) and Rs 74.44 Cr in FY26 (down a further 27.96%). FY26 revenue was 44.36% below FY24.
  • Concentration is high on both axes the record measures. Films and associated rights were 89.68% of FY26 revenue from operations of Rs 74.44 Cr, and the top five customers 74.81% of it; the record names no customers.
  • Net working capital at 31 March 2026 was Rs 126.46 Cr, which the record puts at 169.89% of FY26 revenue from operations of Rs 74.44 Cr and which is 87.14% of FY26 net worth of Rs 145.13 Cr. The record gives a project cycle of 15 to 30 months and describes revenue as arriving in lumps tied to release dates.
  • Production is outsourced, with the record citing 150 to 300 crew per project against 28 people on the company's own payroll in June 2026.

Easy to miss in the prospectus

  • The record's financial history ends at FY26, where revenue was Rs 74.44 Cr against Rs 103.33 Cr in FY25 and Rs 133.80 Cr in FY24; later annual disclosures would show whether that pattern held.
  • Net working capital of Rs 126.46 Cr at 31 March 2026 sat against net worth of Rs 145.13 Cr and borrowings of Rs 9.09 Cr; subsequent balance sheets would show how those three moved.
  • The record's price data stops at 23 October 2026, when the share last traded at Rs 390.60, 8.50% above the band top of Rs 360 and 5.80% above the first-day close of Rs 369.20.
