BSE: 511246
BOMBAY TALKIES LIMITED
Classified under film production, distribution and exhibition, the company generates virtually no operating revenue, with total income from operations of Rs. 14.65 lakhs for FY26, down from Rs. 20.04 lakhs in FY25. The filings disclose only quarterly financial results and routine SEBI compliance — share dematerialisation certificates, trading-window closures, AGM notices and board-meeting intimations — with no description of any active film slate, distribution deal, content library or theatrical exhibition activity. Costs are dominated by employee expenses (115.5% of revenue) and other operating expenses (135.5% of revenue), and the company posted a net loss of Rs. 16.86 lakhs for FY26 against a Rs. 14.76 lakh loss in FY25. There is no capex and effectively no material input cost; the business is not buying film content, prints or exhibition inventory. Reserves have turned negative at Rs. 87.13 lakhs against paid-up equity of Rs. 540 lakhs, cash and equivalents stand at Rs. 4.60 lakhs, and the company carries no debt. The statutory auditors have issued unmodified opinions, but no operating activity that could be described in commercial terms appears in the disclosed filings. AR · MarketPing reader · 2026-08-02

Sources, method and disclosures
This document is a statistical summary of publicly filed information and market data, prepared by software from primary sources: SEBI results XBRL filed with BSE and NSE, LODR disclosures, shareholding patterns, exchange price data. It contains no research recommendation, no price target and no opinion on the merits of any security, and is not a research report within the meaning of the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, Regulation 2(1)(w)(vii). Financial statements are as filed (consolidated where the company files consolidated results). Ratios are computed over filed lines. Where a figure is unavailable the table shows a dash rather than an estimate. The business brief is written by MarketPing's reader from the annual report and checked against it; no figure in a table was generated by a model. Nothing here constitutes investment advice, an offer or a solicitation; readers should consult a SEBI-registered adviser before acting. MarketPing is not a SEBI-registered intermediary.
