==Initial Years (2003-04)==
The company entered Bollywood with ''[[Fun2shh... Dudes in the 10th Century]]'' (2003), which marked its first of many collaborations with music composers [[Pritam]] and duo [[Salim-Sulaiman]], and actor [[Paresh Rawal]]. Next, it produced ''[[Agnipankh]]'' (2004), a film on pilots in the [[Indian Air Force]], where Pritam and Salim-Sulaiman teamed up again to compose the music.

==Early Success (2005-06)==
The company's first big hit came with [[David Dhawan]]'s comedy ''[[Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya]]'' (2005), which starred [[Salman Khan]], [[Sushmita Sen]], the film's producer [[Sohail Khan]], [[Katrina Kaif]], [[Arshad Warsi]] and [[Isha Koppikar]].

The next year, more prominence came in for the company as it produced the comedies ''[[Golmaal: Fun Unlimited]]'' (2006) and ''[[Bhagam Bhag]]'' (2006). While the former marked its first major collaboration with [[Ajay Devgn]] and [[Tusshar Kapoor]] as well as director [[Rohit Shetty]], the latter was one of the company's first of many collaborations with [[Akshay Kumar]]. Both films had Rawal in prominent roles.

==''Jab We Met'' (2007)==
The company produced ''[[Jab We Met]]'', directed by [[Imtiaz Ali (director)|Imtiaz Ali]] and starring [[Shahid Kapoor]] and [[Kareena Kapoor]]. It was released on 26 October 2007. The film was nominated for a number of awards, and received the [[Stardust Award for Best Film]] in 2008.

==2008-present==
In early 2008, the company produced ''Superstar'' starring [[Kunal Khemu]]. Late into the year, the company saw success with the hit ''[[Golmaal Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Golmaal'', whilst also producing ''[[Kidnap (2008 film)|Kidnap]]''. At the end of the year the company released ''[[Maharathi (2008 film)|Maharathi]]'' starring [[Boman Irani]], [[Neha Dhupia]], Ashwin Nayak, [[Om Puri]], [[Paresh Rawal]], [[Naseeruddin Shah]] and [[Tara Sharma]]. With the exception of ''Golmaal Returns'', none of the films was successful at the box office.

''[[Blue (2009 film)|Blue]]'' was Shree Ashtavinayak's biggest project till date with its budget set to INR 100 crores. It was an action film shot in [[the Bahamas]] and starring [[Sanjay Dutt]], [[Akshay Kumar]], [[Lara Dutta]] and [[Zayed Khan]]. However, the film performed poorly at the box office, and got predominantly negative reviews. It also released ''[[Luck (2009 film)|Luck]]'' with a negative result as it earned even less than ''Kidnap''.

''[[Dabangg]]'', Shree Ashtavinayak's most commercial release performed very well at the box office, with its first day collection surpassing that of ''[[3 Idiots]]'', which was distributed by Big Pictures. ''Dabangg'' is one of biggest hits of Bollywood.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120305155637/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-09-12/india/28232453_1_idiots-dabangg-trade-analyst-taran-adarsh ]</ref> 2010 also earned the company some acclaim and success with the comedies ''[[Khatta Meetha (2010 film)|Khatta Meetha]]'' and ''[[Golmaal 3]]'', which were successful.

Shree Ashtavinayak Cine vision entered into Joint Venture with LFS Global for creating India's largest film city near Mumbai.<ref>http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-02-07/news/28426087_1_film-city-business-group-shooting-floors</ref> In 2011, it produced the iconic ''[[Rockstar (2011 film)|Rockstar]]'', also directed by Ali. As the company faced judicial crisis, it halted operations after producing its final film, the 2012 comedy ''[[Bol Bachchan]]'', also directed by Shetty.

However, on 20 June 2014, the company was suspended from trading on 20 June 2014. Additionally, the Bombay High Court assigned a liquidator after the company failed to pay its creditors.<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Shutters-down-for-Shree-Ashtavinayak-Cine-Vision-Ltd/articleshow/37626243.cms</ref> Later, it had to sell the rights of the ''[[Golmaal (film series)|Golmaal]]'' franchise to Shetty, who became a producer in 2014.

Some time later, in 2017-18, when [[Zee Entertainment Enterprises]] was rechristened with a new logo, theme and slogans, it syndicated the company's pre-2008 releases, and began broadcasting them on its channels, the only three exceptions being ''Fun2shh'', ''[[Agnipankh]]'' and ''[[Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya]]'' which were readily acquired by [[Viacom18]]. Films from 2008 onwards, with the exception of ''Maharathi'' and ''[[Bol Bachchan]]'', both lying with [[Star India]], and ''[[Rockstar (2011 film)|Rockstar]]'' and ''[[Golmaal Returns]]'', lying with Zee, have all been acquired by [[Viacom18]]. Among these, all of the company's three major releases in 2010, ''[[Dabangg]]'', ''[[Golmaal 3]]'' and ''[[Khatta Meetha (2010 film)|Khatta Meetha]]'', lie jointly with Star India and Viacom18.
