The second largest film industry of the world has contributed many talents - each brilliant in his own creative field. Very few, however, have enjoyed consistency in their creative endeavours and even fewer have managed to create an organization that has become an integral part of the entertainment business in India. The Yash Raj Group has merited this unique distinction. |
||||
Yash Raj Films was established
as a film-making company in 1970 and in the last three decades it has
grown from strength to strength. Today, Yash Raj Films has to its credit
India's most enviable film catalogue comprising 26 Films - some of which
have been the highest grossing films in the entertainment business. |
||||
Yash Raj Films is spearheaded
by Yash Chopra - a leading light of the Indian entertainment industry
for the last five decades. Yash Chopra has been associated with almost
30 films, some of which have created box-office history. Arguably he can
be called India's most successful confluence of creativity and administrative
genius - as he dons his two hats - as a director and a producer. |

Yash Raj Films, over the
years, has expanded to distribution of films all over the world - their
own, as well as films made by other well-known Indian names. Yash Raj
Films has overseas offices in London (covering the territories of U.K.
and Europe) and in New York (covering the territory of North America).
The rest of the world is handled through the U.K. office. The highest
grossing films of the last 5 years have all been distributed by Yash Raj
Films. |

Yash Raj Films has also been
involved in production of television software, ad films, music videos,
and documentaries - with its enviable creative team always at the fore.
It has also widened its horizons into home entertainment by marketing
and distributing DVDs and VCDs of classic Indian films all over the world
through its offices in UK and USA. With the growing popularity of home
viewing of films through DVDs and VCDs, the Yash Raj catalogue of 20+
films is the most rights for popular.Yash Raj Films also has acquired
other classic Indian films from reputed banners like R.K. Films [the creations
of Raj Kapoor], B.R. Films [the creations of B.R. Chopra], Bimal Roy's
Films, Prasad Productions, Pramod Films [the creations of Pramod Chakravarty]. |

associated with producing various successful music albums and has recently
launched its own Music Label - Yash Raj Music. |

The Head Office of the Yash
Raj Group is based in Mumbai, where the heart of the entertainment business
beats. It has its own post-production facilities, design-cell, equipment
division - all-in house facilities that make it one of the most coveted
creative houses in the country. The enviable catalogue of films continues
to yield higher returns for the company and with passing years becomes
more and more valuable. Collectively, 8 of the last 10 Yash Raj Films
productions have grossed in excess of 100 Million US Dollars. The 6 highest
selling music albums of all times include 4 Yash Raj Films productions.

(the renowned international film magazine) carried a survey on the "Biggest Film Production Houses"
in the world in which... "Yash Raj Films was listed as 27th in the world, making it therby, the Number 1 Film Production House in India." |

Yash Raj Films, today, is
recognized as the most prolific company on the Indian Entertainment horizon
- with a very bright future. The Yash Raj Group is on the threshold of
building its own studios and corporate offices at one of Mumbai's prime
properties where the heart of the entertainment business beats. The company
is committed to a spectacular growth and expansion with great plans for
the future - a manifestation of the vision of Yash Chopra of consolidating
the Yash Raj Group as the most complete Entertainment Company of India |
