5 Airings On Sony Max Would Also Be A Great Achievement Because Gulabo Sitabo, Shakuntala Devi, Malang & Prassthanam Have Hardly Aired 2-3 Times So Far
Shakuntala Devi has been aired more than 5 but not on watchable slots. Malang as well (Infact all the times when Malang has been aired it was on Prime Time) but yes Disappointed with Ludo handling I hope it does a better job.

Ghayal before moving to Star and Sony. Now currently On home network
 
Sorry for that but still TOH can't b the reason. Losses or Profits r part of the game. YRF would have surely been accomodative but scheduling and inapt screening of films should have been a concern. Also Sony has gained so much profit from big YRF films too so 1 film flopping can b sustained by big broadcaster like them.
Thugs Of Hindostan is quite a nice film and like Baaghi 2 or 3 can work on satellite but again not aired properly to generate audience interest
It was not the only movie, but it was the tipping point.
Sony paid huge amounts for jab tak hai jaan, fan, befikre without much returns. Even ek tha tiger and dhoom 3 sort of underperformed relative to their acquisition prices. Yrf had planning for more such big budget movies like shamshera, prithviraj which sony was not ready to risk. And u can see after record breaking ratings of war premiere how has star utilized it and not like it has used all films like that, it's handling of lakshmii , housefull 4 and baaghi 3 is commendable,but ultimately that movie didnt have that much repeat viewing. From sony's point of view only sultan and tzh had proven to be a value for money investment.So rather than putting all its eggs in one basket, it preferred spending on the huge t-series new movies library, where many may not be successful but atleast few can prove to be profitable thus reducing the risk ratio.
 
Still remember when Salman Khan agreement with star/disney was on, YRF did not allow Salman Khan to acquire its movie rights and give it to star/disney. Such a commitment is rare these days, had it been money matter then this won't have happened
