Just till few months back, the satellite rights of a film even if it was a major dud at the box office would fetch handsome revenues for its makers.

A hit film would fetch anywhere between Rs. 12-18 crore from the channels. A flop film starring big names and produced by big banners too would fetch anywhere between Rs. 7 to 8 crore.
