'''Rajshri Productions Pvt. Ltd.''' is a film production and distribution company based in [[Mumbai]], India, established in 1962,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rajshri.com|title=Rajshri - India's Leading Entertainment Studios since 1947|publisher=rajshri|access-date=20 July 2018}}</ref> which is primarily involved in producing Hindi films. The most successful films produced by the company include ''[[Dosti]]'' (1964), [[Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se]] (1978), ''[[Nadiya Ke Paar (1982 film)|Nadiya Ke Paar]]'' (1982), ''[[Saaransh]]'' (1984), ''[[Maine Pyar Kiya]]'' (1989) and ''[[Hum Aapke Hain Kaun]]'' (1994). Recent projects include ''[[Piya Albela]]'', a TV serial on [[Zee TV]], created by [[Sooraj Barjatya]].

==History==
Rajshri Productions, the film production division of Rajshri, was established in 1962. Its first release ''[[Aarti (film)|Aarti]]'' met with critical acclaimed 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.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sooraj Bhajatya's superhit film Maine Pyar Kiya saves Rajshri Productions |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/19900515-sooraj-bhajatya-s-superhit-film-maine-pyar-kiya-saves-rajshri-productions-812575-1990-05-15 |access-date=6 October 2013 |work=[[India Today]] |date=15 May 1990}}</ref> 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: We Stand United|Hum Saath Saath Hain]]''.
