More on the retail bond...

Looks like EROS are looking to raise funds through a retail bond offering. Presumably an attempt to make up for the shortfall when they failed to raise anywhere near the amount they hoped for at US listing.

Aagadu has had a fantastic weekend in the USA - $1.4m in its first weekend alone:

And Dr Cabbie has also had a terrific weekend in Canada, with $702,000 on its opening. The international release is being discussed - interesting that it's a co-production with ETO, which I've also owned for some years:



Looks like a very strong line-up of films also coming up this year:

Eros International initiated with an Outperform at Wells Fargo

Dr Cabbie could be a huge worldwide hit when it releases. Currently only released in Canada it is doing great business there.

Aagadu opened on Friday and has had the "biggest ever opening for a Tollywood film at the worldwide box office":



"Box Office Collection Worldwide: 'Aagadu' Emerges as Biggest Opener Ever in Tollywood History

Mahesh Babu's "Aagadu" has got the biggest ever opening for a Tollywood film at the worldwide box office, according to Andhraboxoffice.

"Aagadu," which hit the screens on 19 September, took grand openings across the world. The film minted ₹9.74 crore share on the first day at the AP/Nizam box office, thus taking the second spot in the list of all time top-10 opening day shares. However, with ₹10.75 crore share, "Attarintiki Daaredi" still tops the list.

However, "Aagadu" has emerged top in the list of all time top opening day shares at the worldwide box office. The film's overwhelming business at the US box office has helped it to achieve this feat.

"Aagadu" has reportedly crossed the $1million mark in just two days including Thursday premieres at the US box office. It is Mahesh Babu's fourth film to enter the $1million club after "Dookudu," "Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu" and "1 Nenokkadine" among others.

The film has taken a clear lead over "Attarintiki Daaredi" not just in the US, but also in Karnataka Tamil Nadu and Rest of India.This has led "Aagadu" to get the biggest opening day share for a Telugu film at the worldwide box office.

As per the recent EROS announcement, Kishore Lulla, Executive Chairman, presented at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference in California on 16-17 Sept. I wonder if that had anything to do with yesterday's rise?

EDIT - The presentation is available here -

2 more US investor conferences being attended before the end of the month too.

I personally loved the 80s. Despite the fashion (why did i ever think that day-glo socks were so cool?), i have many great memories whilst i grew up... or pretended to grow up. Feels like it was the last decade of innocence, not just for me personally. Very different growing up as a child in the current decade.

[rivaldo] 19/9/2014 12:16

LOL...gawd, the 80's were rubbish :o))

Whilst on hols I got some news alerts, including...EROS has one of the 5 lowest PEG ratios in the services sector in the USA at 0.23:

[speedsgh] 19/9/2014 11:09

Oh, go on then. Just for old times sake. Check out the hairstyles! Amazing :o)

[rivaldo] 18/9/2014 22:56

Nice finish tonight - over $16 again.

And a big release coming up - not THAT Agadoo though.....



"‘Aagadu’ release to keep Eros Intl in focus

Stock of Eros International Media will remain in focus as the company on Friday releases Mahesh Babu-starrer and Tamanna Bhatia Telugu actioner “Aagadu” in collaboration with 14 Reels Entertainment. The film, directed by Srinu Vaitla, will release on 2,000 screens across the globe. Eros International has so far not revealed the financial details of the release. Expectations are running high and a box-office hit will boost the shares further. The film is dubbed in other southern languages too. "

Nothing new in here but here goes anyway...

mmm heading for an all time high!!

More good news, with EROS building on the "Rajnikanth" connection in heading up the digital brand with his daughter. This paragraph stood out:



"Eros’ Group CEO Jyoti Deshpande said: “We are in an exciting phase in the company with significant progress in the digital space including ErosNow, mobile, DTH, IPTV and broadband. Soundarya’s experience in the digital domain makes her an ideal candidate to spearhead Eros’ digital strategy.”

Excellent - that's four major investor conferences this month in London, New York and California.

Methinks there's a nice story to be telling the market.

Eros International to Present at Upcoming Investor Conferences -

[czar] 02/9/2014 19:33

Good point the £/$ is working well for us right now.

[bigdazzler] 02/9/2014 16:54

Oh I hope you right and potentially in time for a more favourable exchange rate if I wish to convert back to sterling. 2 birds one stone.

[czar] 02/9/2014 16:50

I reckon if ErosNow was floated as a stand alone biz it would have a market cap way above that of Eros. It feels like the blue touch paper will be lit soon and this will really fly.

[monkeymagic3] 02/9/2014 16:24

Thats an interesting thought.

[rivaldo] 02/9/2014 14:33

Another scoop speedsgh :o))

EROSNOW will soon be worth EROS' m/cap on its own at this rate.

[speedsgh] 02/9/2014 13:33

Deals finally beginning to flow at EROS...

Just needs one more push and we should see new highs soon.
