Star Pravah vishesh prastuti “Mission Loveria 143”
Maharashtra’s leading Marathi GEC shall telecast its special presentation, MISSION LOVERIA 143’ at 7 pm on Sunday, October 20th. Every special presentation of Star Pravah explores a fresh and new aspect of relationships and Mission Loveria is a rib-tickling story of two friends, Raghav (played by Bhushan Pradhan) and Sampat (played by Hemant Dhome) desperately trying to woo girls and Love Guru (played by Sharad Ponkshe) who advises them.
Bushan and Sampat are roommates and work in the same mobile store. Apart from their house and place of work, they also share a common problem; both are consistently failing in their attempts to get a girlfriend; Raghav due to his shy nature and Sampat due to his over-confident nature. It is under these circumstances that they meet Prem Kumar a.k.a. Love Guru who starts advising them in matters of love. The efforts bear fruit and Raghav and Sampat fall in love with two sisters, Aditi and Anagha and leads to a series of mis-understandings between the two friends. While attempting to clear the mis-understanding, more trouble erupts when Prem Kumar comes face-to-face with Aditi and Anagha’s mother.
What was the reason of the mis-understanding between the two friends, what is Love Guru’s relationship with Aditi and Anagha’s mother, what is the thread of relationship that connects all of them together and will Raghav and Sampat get back their love? Star Pravah’s special presentation, “Mission Loveria 143’ has all these answers.
Mission Loveria 143, produced by Reel Life Productions, is directed by Hemant Deodhar and features noted artists like Sharad Ponkshe, Vrunda Ahire, Bhushan Pradhan, Hemant Dhome and Sai Lokur in key roles.

Network18 Q4 revenue grows 9.7 per cent, EBITDA at Rs 30 crore
PAT improves to Rs 306.6 crore, margins steady amid cost pressures.
MUMBAI: Not all news is breaking, some of it is quietly improving. Network18 Media & Investments Limited appears to be doing just that, tightening losses and stabilising margins even as costs continue to weigh on the business. For FY26, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 1,955.1 crore, up from Rs 1,896.2 crore in FY25, signalling modest top-line growth in a challenging media environment. Total income stood at Rs 1,978.2 crore, compared to Rs 1,913 crore a year earlier.
Profit after tax came in at Rs 306.6 crore for the year, a sharp turnaround from Rs 3,225.4 crore in FY25, largely reflecting the absence of large exceptional items that had inflated the previous year’s numbers. On a more comparable basis, the company’s operating performance showed signs of gradual stabilisation.
However, the quarterly picture remained under pressure. For the March quarter, Network18 reported a loss of Rs 53.1 crore, narrower than the Rs 98.1 crore loss in the same period last year, but still indicative of ongoing cost challenges.
Expenses continued to track high. Total expenses for FY26 stood at Rs 2,235.7 crore, up from Rs 2,197.8 crore in FY25. Key cost heads included operational expenses of Rs 765.9 crore, employee benefits of Rs 475.9 crore, and marketing, distribution and promotional spends of Rs 427.1 crore, underlining the continued investment required to sustain reach and engagement.
At an operating level, margins remained under strain. Operating margin stood at 2.33 per cent for FY26, marginally higher than 1.77 per cent in FY25, while net profit margin remained negative at -13.02 per cent, though improved from -14.89 per cent.
On the balance sheet, total assets rose to Rs 8,957.6 crore as of 31 March 2026, from Rs 8,317.5 crore a year earlier. Equity strengthened to Rs 4,958.7 crore, while borrowings increased to Rs 3,112.8 crore, reflecting a higher reliance on debt to support operations.
Cash flows told a mixed story. While financing activities generated Rs 83.9 crore, operating cash flow remained negative at Rs -24 crore, highlighting ongoing pressure on core cash generation. Cash and cash equivalents, however, improved to Rs 33.9 crore from Rs 1.8 crore.
The numbers point to a company in transition growing revenues, trimming losses, but still grappling with structural cost pressures. In a sector where scale often comes at a price, Network18 seems to be inching towards balance, one quarter at a time.
