the rest of the investment shud come from the movie ticket sales. no other go

Do you mean to say Gautam is giving money to charity from movie ticket sales?

I don't think businessmen (esp movie producers) are that dumb to spend money for EU orchestra etc, thinking that somehow it would translate into theater crowd. Agreed it could help in selling at a higher price to distributors but they won't simply spend without being calculative IMHO.

Ofcourse I'm from old-school-thought, but tell me, if Jaya TV paid for the program rights or the producer is paying Jaya TV to show the event (as marketing / publicity spend)?

Boss, audio rights one crore is already spent in Angel studios recording

How can he spend again for an event is the question...

[Nerd]

Bolly producers reserve even 30% of the budget for promotion. Idhellaam sillarai kaasu. Jaya TV would have made around 10c in ads alone. And I am sure they would have bought it for 3-4C. There is no question of loss here for GVM.

Also the real reason for charity was - first they started *selling* tickets for money and later on the day of the show, they started giving tickets away for free. appO kaasu kuduththu vaanginavan vaazhkkai? punniyam sErum

Nerd, i heard that last night b4 the event, it was said free tickets will be available in Jaya TV office, limited to 1 per person. But then heard that no such tickets were given! They closed the online booking 31st night but again opened it 1st morning

app,

As SKV and Nerd say, all this is part of publicity budget, recovered through selling telecast rights to channel, in stadium advertising etc. More importantly this hype would have helped GVM sell the film for a much higher price. In the sense, even if 2-3 cr was spent it could have translated into a 10c advantage when the film is sold. And nowadays which producer worries about ticket sales. That is the headache of distributor and theater fellows.

pp, angel studios recording cost, yes it shud be atleast 1C, and swamigal also would have been offered 1C, deservingly, i guess.

If gautam is the 1st director to take motta boss to 1C mark, then its another achievement for him, for raising the bar!

I vageuly remember one of those blade comperes of the show saying, "nEththu night ticket kudukka aarambichchu, udanE full aayiduchchu" or something to that effect. Obviously I was not there and you were there, so your words carry more weight But as you said, heard from friends that Jaya Tv (was supposed to?) offer tickets for free in their office.

Yesterday gautam tweeted that he is going to do a film with both Jeeva and Nani in one film. good
