The short read
UFO Moviez reported Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue of ₹1,118 million, EBITDA of ₹189 million and PAT of ₹56 million, with advertisement revenue growing 33% year-on-year helped by the continued theatrical run of "Dhurandhar: The Revenge". Management said the quarter had fewer movie releases than a year earlier, with 399 movies released against 456 in Q1FY26, while product sales declined due to delayed international shipments linked to the war situation affecting imports into Dubai. The advertising footprint stood at 3,891 screens, and management described Q2 FY27 as having started on an encouraging note with a healthy content pipeline ahead.
