History

Rajshri Productions, the film production division of Rajshri, was established in 1947. Its first release ''Aarti'' met with critical acclaim and was screened at international film festivals. This was followed by ''Dosti'', a non-star-cast film which became a box office success, and received the National Award for the Best Hindi Film of the Year (1964) and six Filmfare Awards.

Rajshri Productions made several more successful and critically acclaimed movies between the 1960s and 1980s including '' Uphaar'', '' Geet Gaata Chal'', '' Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se'', '' Chitchor'', '' Dulhan Wahi Jo Piya Man Bhaye'' and '' Saaransh''. At the end of the 1980s, when the film industry experienced a slump due to the advent of home video, Rajshri was on the verge of closing down. However, the company had a hit with a musical teenage romance, '' Maine Pyar Kiya'', directed in-house by Sooraj R. Barjatya, which saved the company from closure. It became one of Indian cinema's biggest grossers, and won six Filmfare Awards including Best Film and the Most Sensational Debut of the Year for 24-year-old Salman Khan.

Salman Khan followed up the success of ''Maine Pyar Kiya'' with Rajshri blockbusters '' Hum Aapke Hain Koun'' and '' Hum Saath Saath Hain''. ''Hum Aapke Hain Koun'' remains one of the highest grossing releases in the history of Indian cinema, and won the National Award for the most popular film providing wholesome entertainment, as well as eight Filmfare Awards and six Screen Awards, including Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director.
