BUY Target Price `625 CMP `410 FY15 PE 15.1x Index Details We initiate coverage on Sun TV Network Ltd (Sun TV) as a BUY Sensex 19,242 with a price Objective of `625 representing a potential upside of Nifty 5,848 ~52.4% over a period of 24 months. At a CMP of `410, the stock is BSE 100 5,908 trading at 22.2x and 18.1x its estimated earnings for FY13 and Industry Media FY14 respectively. With ~2 mn households in Chennai (1.3-1.5 mn cable subscribers and 0.5 mn DTH subscribers) and ~11 mn Scrip Details subscribers in five cities of Phase II (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mysore, Coimbatore and Vishakhapatnam), Sun TV is expected to Mkt Cap (` cr) 16,138 be one of the biggest beneficiaries of impending digitisation in BVPS ( ) 63.7 ` these geographies. Sun TV’s revenues are expected to grow at a O/s Shares (Cr) 39.4 CAGR of 14.6% to `2,778.0 crore with cable subscription revenues Av Vol (Lacs) 2.1 growing at a CAGR of 30.2% while DTH is expected to grow at a 52 Week H/L 431/177 CAGR of 21.6% by FY15.

Shareholding Pattern Digitisation to provide fillip to Sun TV’s subscription revenues Shareholders % Near term triggers from the implementation of digitisation in Phase I (Chennai) and Promoters 77.0 Phase II cities should help boost Sun TV’s subscription revenues. With ~2 mn DIIs 2.1 households in Chennai (~1.3-1.5 mn cable subscribers and ~0.5 mn DTH subscribers) and ~11 mn subscribers in five cities of Phase II (Bangalore, FIIs 14.2 Hyderabad, Mysore, Coimbatore and Vishakhapatnam), Sun TV is well placed to Public 6.7 benefit from the incremental subscriber additions. We expect Sun TV to be one of STOCK POINTER Total 100.0 the biggest beneficiaries of digitisation and revenues are expected to grow at a 3 year CAGR of 14.6% to `2,778.0 crore (cable subscription revenues – 30.2% CAGR to `360 crore; DTH – 21.6% CAGR to `598 crore) by FY15. Sun TV vs. Sensex We believe that the cable subscription income is expected to outperform DTH revenue stream owing to increase in paying subscribers post digitisation (by 31st Dec, 2012) and increased contribution of ~`2.5 crore per month (with upside risk) from Arasu Cable network in Tamil Nadu. Given the potential for deeper penetration of DTH services in the company’s key markets, the DTH revenue is likely to continue its momentum. The sharp jump in subscription revenues from 28.2% of total sales in FY12 to 35.8% in FY15 should bring more visibility and sustainability to the revenues besides providing diversification of revenue streams.

Advertising revenues to witness traction going ahead Over FY08-FY11, Sun TV’s ad revenues grew at a faster rate of 27.6% CAGR compared to the ~20% of the `3,105 crore South Indian ad market (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada). However, in FY12, in addition to the slowdown, uncertainty over Arasu Cable led to a total blackout of Sun TV’s channels on the cable platform in the entire state of Tamil Nadu (except Chennai) which affected ad revenues adversely. Post Sun TV’s deal with Arasu in August, 2012, ad revenues are likely to return to a steady state growth rate. Going ahead, the regional TV ad market growth is likely to outpace the national TV ad market as the potential of growth in consumption of various products is greater in regional markets. In addition, Sun TV’s competitive position in terms of premium pricing power (e.g. ad rate of ~`43,000/10sec v/s `7,500-`10,000/10 sec of immediate competitor in Tamil Nadu) reaffirms our confidence that the company will maintain its leadership position as well as achieve growth momentum. We expect Sun TV’s ad revenue to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% to `1,304.5 crore from `945.4 crore over the period of FY13-FY15 on the back of improved ad spends and increased visibility in Tamil Nadu (TN being the biggest regional ad market). Valuation We initiate coverage on Sun TV Network Ltd (Sun TV) as a BUY with a Price Objective of `625 representing a potential upside of ~52.4% over a period of 24 months. At a CMP of `410, the stock is trading at 22.2x and 18.1x its estimated earnings for FY13 & FY14 respectively. Going ahead, pick up in advertising revenues and digitisation led boost to subscription revenues bode well for the company. Historically, the stock has traded at an average of ~23x one year forward earnings and we expect Sun TV to garner similar multiples going ahead. Moreover, we believe that the sharp underperformance by Sun TV v/s ZEEL (since May, 2011) prices in the political and legal risks associated with the company. We expect the valuation gap to narrow and expect Sun TV to trade at its historical levels owing to its robust business model. st - 2 of 18 - Friday 21 December, 2012 This document is for private circulation, and must be read in conjunction with the disclaimer on the last page. Company Background Sun TV Network is one of the largest television broadcasters in India with a strong network of 32 television channels and 45 FM radio stations across India. For more than a decade now, Sun TV due to its extremely popular offering has been dominating the broadcasting space in the four key South Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala (leader in 3 out of 4 markets). Recently, in 2008, Sun TV forayed into the movie business through its division, Sun Pictures. In October, 2012, Sun TV bought the Hyderabad IPL team for `425.5 crore which is to be paid over five years till FY17.

Key Investment Highlights Digitisation to provide fillip to Sun TV’s subscription revenues The non-existence of a proper addressable system had resulted in significant under reporting (~85% of `18,000 crore market size) of the subscribers base by LCO’s (Local Cable Operator) in turn leading to lower revenue realizations for MSO’s and broadcasters. This revenue leakage had not only impacted broadcasters and MSOs but also the GoI (Government of India) in form of lost taxation. The new system of DAS (Digital Addressable System), which has become a reality now (Phase I successfully implemented, except in Chennai), will drastically change the fortunes of the industry ensuring that all negatives regarding reporting of subscribers is done away with. Under DAS, the entire universe of subscribers will now be uniquely recognized leading to a multifold jump in the subscribers. This coupled with the growth of the TV households from ~153 mn to ~188 mn by 2016 and paid C&S TV household penetration levels expected to increase to 89% from the current ~76% should improve the visibility on revenue growth and profitability of the sector as a whole.

    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935), Vol. 10, No. 2, 2018 [Indexed by Web of Science, Scopus & approved by UGC] DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v10n2.23 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V10/n2/v10n223.pdf Frankenstein’s Avatars: Posthuman Monstrosity in Enthiran/Robot Abhishek V. Lakkad Doctoral Research Candidate, Centre for Studies in Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (CSSTIP), School of Social Sciences, Central University of Gujarat, Gujarat. ORCID ID: 0000-0002-0330-0661. Email: [email protected] Received January 31, 2018; Revised April 22, 2018; Accepted May 19, 2018; Published May 26, 2018. Abstract This paper engages with ‘Frankenstein’ as a narrative structure in Indian popular cinema, in the context of posthumanism. Scholarship pertaining to monsters/monstrosity in Indian films has generally been addressed within the horror genre. However, the present paper aspires to understand monstrosity/monsters as a repercussion of science and technology (S&T) through the cinematic depiction of Frankenstein-like characters, thus shifting the locus of examining monstrosity from the usual confines of horror to the domain of science fiction. The paper contends Enthiran/Robot (Shankar 2010 Tamil/Hindi) as an emblematic instance of posthuman monstrosity that employs a Frankenstein narrative. The paper hopes to bring out the significance of cinematic imagination concerning posthuman monstrosity, to engage with collective social fears and anxieties about various cutting-edge technologies as well as other socio-cultural concerns and desires at the interface of S&T, embodiment and the society/nation. Keywords: Posthumanism, Monstrosity, Frankenstein, Indian popular cinema, Science Fiction, Enthiran/Robot The Frankenstein narrative and Posthuman Monstrosity It has been argued that in contemporary techno-culture Science Fiction (hereafter SF) performs the role of “modern myth(s)” (Klein, 2010, p.137).

  • Depicting Hero in Mainstream Tamil Cinema: the Mould That Changes
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 12s, (2020), pp. 09-14 Depicting Hero In Mainstream Tamil Cinema: The Mould That Changes Prabakaran V* & Dr. G Balasubramaniaraja** *Ph.D. Scholar, Reg No: 17234011021141, ManonmaniamSundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India. Assistant Professor, Department of Visual Communication, FSH, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Tamilnadu, India **Professor and Head, Department of Communication, ManonmaniamSundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India Abstract The Protagonist, a hero, generally is the central character of any film. The antagonist, a Villain, performs against the Hero and negative side of the story. However, at times hero characters come with a negative shade. The films come up with the reasonable (at least to them) flashback stories in antihero subjects. They justify their harmful protagonist activities. For example, all the don stories of Tamil cinema have a flashback explaining why he has become so. MGR used the medium to communicate the positive elements only to maintain his image among the audiences and to convey his ideologies. He even made sure that his film titles convey the positivity. In this paper, the researcher analyses the changing image of the hero characters in Tamil cinema Keywords: The Hero, Tamil Cinema, Image building, antihero, Characterization Introduction Hero characters in Tamil cinema are classified into these categories. Category One, the good guy, who does good to the society in a natural way whatever the situation he faces. Second one whatever the way maybe; doing good to the society is matters. The third one is not at all good, so do not expect good from him.
