Sooraj R. Barjatya

1947: The Birth of Rajshri
On 15th August 1947, at the dawn of India's Independence, Tarachand Barjatya established Rajshri Pictures (P) Ltd., the film distribution division of RAJSHRI.

1950's: Establishing an all-India presence
RAJSHRI emerged as India's largest film distribution organisation, successfully distributing a number of super hit films in Hindi and other regional languages.
1960's: Making Films -- The Rajshri way
Rajshri Productions (P) Ltd., the film production division of RAJSHRI, was set up in 1962. Its first release Aarti was critically acclaimed and was screened at international film festivals. This was followed by Dosti, a non star-cast film which went on to become a mega success at the box-office. Dosti was presented the National Award for the Best Hindi Film of the Year (1964) and also won 6 Filmfare Awards.
1970's: A String of Family Hits
1970's saw RAJSHRI grow from strength to strength. Jeevan Mrityu was followed by Uphaar, which gave Jaya Bhaduri a Filmfare Special Award. Tapasya was applauded by the press and public and was awarded the `Golden Lotus', the National Award for the best feature film with mass appeal, wholesome entertainment and aesthetic values. Rakhee won the Filmfare Award for the Best Actress for this film. Geet Gaata Chal, Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se, Chitchor, and Dulhan Wahi Jo Piya Man Bhaaye all revolved around providing lilting melodies and wholesome family entertainment.
1980's: The `Sun' Rises
RAJSHRI's film making continued with movies like the critically acclaimed and Oscar-nominated film Saaransh. At the end of the 80's, when the entire film industry was in the doldrums with the advent of video, RAJSHRI gave a break to its in-house talent Sooraj R. Barjatya who directed Maine Pyar Kiya, a musical teenage romance, which went on to become the biggest grosser of all-time by grossing 40 crore at the box-office. The film bagged six Filmfare awards including awards for the Best Film and the Most Sensational Debut of the Year for 24-year-old Sooraj.
1990's: Two-in-a-row..
Sooraj followed up with Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, the biggest hit in the history of Indian cinema by grossing 200 crore at the box-office. The film won the National Award for being the most popular film providing wholesome entertainment and also bagged 5 Filmfare Awards and 6 Screen Awards, including awards for the Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director. When video piracy and satellite T.V. were threatening the survival of the film industry, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! instilled a new lease of life by bringing viewers back to cinema halls.
Rajshri: Five decades of contribution...
All along its production activities, RAJSHRI has always encouraged and backed up new artists in practically all departments of film-making including actors, actresses, directors, story-screenplay-dialogue writers, music directors, lyricists, playback singers, cinematographers, editors, audiographers, choreographers, fight composers, etc.
Amongst the new talents that RAJSHRI has promoted are Mithun Chakraborty, Ranjeeta, Raakhee, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bhaduri, Dharmendra, Saarika, Arun Govil, Raj Babbar, Sachin, Suresh Oberoi, Rameshwari, Anupam Kher, Madhuri Dixit, Salman Khan and Bhagyashree.
Amongst the prominent directors promoted by RAJSHRI are Satyen Bose, Prashant Nanda, Hiren Nag, Basu Chatterjee, Lekh Tandon, Govind Moonis, Sudhendu Roy and Mahesh Bhatt.
Laxmikant Pyarelal, Ravindra Jain, Bappi Lahiri, Rajkamal, Usha Khanna and Raamlaxman are amongst the music directors who tasted success with RAJSHRI's films.
Amongst the playback singers promoted by RAJSHRI are Yesudas, Hemlata, Suresh Wadkar, Alka Yagnik and SP Balasubrahmanyam.
The RAJSHRI group's philosophies of producing wholesome musical entertainers and promoting new talent in every sphere of film-making were founded by Tarachand Barjatya. His sons Kamal Kumar Barjatya, Rajkumar Barjatya and Ajit Kumar Barjatya (above) have upheld this tradition and have also abided by his guiding principles of honesty and fair play while doing business, a reputation RAJSHRI is still widely known for and which has helped it stay in the forefront of the Indian film trade.

 Tough guy SUNIL SHETTY is nowadays facing the toughest time of his life. He has been having all big banner films going for him, but somehow they are failing to make it big at the box-office. First his much-hyped and lavishly- made film `Krishna' after getting a bumper initial flopped miserably, giving jitters to the man, who had over-confidently made a conscious effort to spread rumours of retirement to attract some pre-release publicity for the film. But as he continued signing new films every month, `Shastra', which had his very popular number `Kya ada kya jalwe tere Paro' with Anjali Jatthar, bombed. Even, reports of his recently released Jaydev Thackeray presentation `Sapoot' (co-starring Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor and Sonali Bendre) are also not favourable. So now, all of Sunil's hope's to resurrect his sagging career rest on `Rakshak' (where he again has another mass appeal number `Shehar ki ladki' with Raveena). And only time can tell how much ...

  Go 5 es 29 Nov 1999 - 4 Sep 2009 OCT NOV MAR 29 1998 1999 2009       About this capture SALMAN KHAN Major ups and major downs have marked Salman Khan's career. But right now Salman is poised on the brink of a major success called  Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai . The film directed by Deepak Sarin has Salman in solo lead opposite Twinkle Khanna. This will be a Salman's second hit as  Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya  released eight weeks before  Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai  was declared a hit, and the only hit of 1998. Incredibly Salman Khan holds the record of having four successive hits which three have been successive top grossers:  Maine Pyar Kiya,  Saajan,  Hum Aapke Hain Koun  and hard to believe but true,  Karan Arjun . When  Karan Arjun  was released six months after HAHK   and it became a big hit Salman Khan had re-arrived and this time he was staying. The ban by the press and the we-don't-want-any-Salman stand...
