=== YRF Distributors ===
YRF since launching their distribution arm, has not just distributed films produced by them but also several films made by other production companies, within India as well as overseas, which includes a variety of [[independent film]]s and [[Parallel Cinema]] productions such as ''[[Godmother (film)|Godmother]]'' (1999), ''[[Zubeidaa]]'' (2001), ''[[Maqbool]]'' (2004), and ''[[Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities]]'' (2004) among others.

=== 2009 Disney buyout-refusal ===
In 2007, [[The Walt Disney Company]] entered Indian entertainment through a three-film co-production agreement with YRF, ''[[Ta Ra Rum Pum]]'', ''[[Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic]]'', and ''[[Roadside Romeo]]''. Disney's move was seen as a bid to increase its global recognition and finally enter the increasingly lucrative [[Indian Cinema|Indian cinema]] arena. In 2009, Disney offered a 49% acquisition of YRF for {{INRConvert|2500|c}}<ref name="mw.disney.2007.06.11">{{cite web |url=http://www.movieweb.com/news/walt-disney-studios-teams-up-with-yash-raj-films-to-create-computer-animated-feature-films |title=Walt Disney Studios Teams Up with Yash Raj Films to Create Computer-Animated Feature Films |publisher=[[MovieWeb]] |date=11 June 2007 |access-date=27 December 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227131437/https://movieweb.com/news/walt-disney-studios-teams-up-with-yash-raj-films-to-create-computer-animated-feature-films/ |archive-date=27 December 2013}}</ref> (unadjusted for inflation), which took the valuation of the Indian entertainment company to {{INRConvert|5000|c|year=2009}}.<ref name="bs.2007.06.13">{{cite news |url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/yash-raj-disney-in-animation-films-tie-up-107061301114_1.html |title=Yash Raj, Disney in animation films tie-up |work=[[Business Standard]] |date=13 June 2007 |access-date=27 December 2013 |location=Mumbai |archive-date=31 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141231142847/http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/yash-raj-disney-in-animation-films-tie-up-107061301114_1.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The acquisition proposal did not materialise, as Yash Raj Films chose not to proceed with Disney’s offer and continued to operate independently till date.
== Aditya Chopra (2007 - present) ==
=== Aditya Chopra as Vice-Chairman ===
From 2007 to 2010, the company saw an all-time low, with several of their high-budgeted films failing at the box office, and thereby suffering losses amounting to millions. The films broke YRF's perfect success ratio and were oddly released one after another. Some of the most unsuccessful films produced under the banner were ''[[Jhoom Barabar Jhoom]]'', ''[[Laaga Chunari Mein Daag]]'', ''[[Aaja Nachle]]'', ''[[Tashan (film)|Tashan]]'', ''[[Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic]]'', ''[[Roadside Romeo]], [[Dil Bole Hadippa!]], [[Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year]]'' and ''[[Pyaar Impossible]]''.{{cn|date=July 2025}}
[[Aditya Chopra]] then took over as the vice-chairman of Yash Raj Films in 2010, soon after the release of the film ''[[Badmaash Company]]'' under the same banner.<ref name="Profile">{{cite web |title=Profile |url=http://www.yashrajfilms.com/profile/adi.htm?SectionCode=PRO003a1%3FitemCat%3D210&catName=MjAwNA |publisher=Yash Raj Films |access-date=30 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227183332/https://www.yashrajfilms.com/profile/adi.htm?SectionCode=PRO003a1%3FitemCat%3D210&catName=MjAwNA |archive-date=27 December 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
In 2011, the company went into production of three individual films with [[Aamir Khan]] for ''[[Dhoom 3]]'', [[Shah Rukh Khan]] for ''Jab Tak Hai Jaan'' and with [[Salman Khan]] for ''Ek Tha Tiger'', the first installment in the [[YRF Spy Universe]].

=== Aditya Chopra as Chairman ===
After the death of Yash Chopra in October 2012, Aditya Chopra was elevated to the position of chairman and Chief Executive of the company's studio wing. Facing overwhelming pressure by the [[National Stock Exchange of India|Indian bourses]] to be publicly listed around the same period, the company went for a [[Soft launch|soft-launch]] on 3 January 2013.{{cn|date=July 2025}}
 
The company received angel investment by institutional fund-raisers such as [[Life Insurance Corporation|LIC of India]], [[Ratan Tata|RNT Associates]], [[Azim Premji|PremjiInvest]], [[N. R. Narayana Murthy|Catamaran Ventures]], [[Maruti Suzuki|Maruti Udyog]] and [[Ronnie Screwvala|Unilazer Ventures]]. YRF was made open to Indian enterprises only, and no [[Foreign direct investment|FDI]] was accepted. Venture capitalists also showed interest in [[Adi Godrej]], [[Yogesh Chander Deveshwar|Y. C. Deveshwar]], [[Kumar Mangalam Birla|Kumar Birla]], [[Arundhati Bhattacharya]], [[Anand Mahindra]], [[Chanda Kochhar]], [[Sunil Mittal]], [[Shikha Sharma]] and [[Uday Kotak]] investing undisclosed sums.

Yash Raj Films (YRF) is an Indian film production and distribution company founded by filmmaker Yash Chopra in 1970. Since 2012, it has been led by his son Aditya Chopra. The company primarily produces and distributes Hindi films and has played a significant role in shaping the Hindi film industry.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

In 1970, YRF was founded by Yash Raj Chopra, a veteran director and producer in the Indian film industry.[citation needed]

YRF Studios[edit | edit source]

In 2005, Chopra built YRF Studios in Mumbai. In 2006, the first film shot at YRF Studios was the romantic thriller Fanaa. Since then, several notable films have been shot at YRF Studios, including Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), Partner (2007), Taare Zameen Par (2007), Dostana (2008), Wanted (2009), 3 Idiots (2009), Dabangg (2010), Bodyguard (2011), Ra.One (2011), Agneepath (2012), Chennai Express (2013), Jai Ho (2014), and PK (2014). The studio consists of six floors and spans 20 acres. YRF Studios has also been rented out for other film and television productions, including 10 Ka Dum and Kaun Banega Crorepati for Sony Entertainment Television, as well as Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?, Koffee With Karan, and Satyamev Jayate for STAR India.[2]

YRF Distributors[edit | edit source]

YRF since launching their distribution arm, has not just distributed films produced by them but also several films made by other production companies, within India as well as overseas, which includes a variety of independent films and Parallel Cinema productions such as Godmother (1999), Zubeidaa (2001), Maqbool (2004), and Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities (2004) among others. In recent years, YRF has distributed successful films like Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023), Laapataa Ladies (2024), and Chhaava (2025). While they mostly distribute Hindi films, they have also distributed a few regional films in various languages.[citation needed]

In 2013, the company's distribution team sold the satellite rights of its venture Dhoom 3 for ₹75 crore (US$11 million)[3] to Sony Entertainment Television.[4]

YRF Home Entertainment[edit | edit source]

YRF Home Entertainment division produces and releases Audio CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs & VCDs. While these include films from YRF's own film catalogue, the division also selectively acquires films from outside banners for releasing them across Home Video formats. YRF Home Entertainment Forever Classics Collection includes many of their own classic films, directed by the company's founder, Yash Chopra and his son Aditya Chopra, besides several popular films from Raj Kapoor Films and B.R. Films, among others.[citation needed]

YRF Music[edit | edit source]

The company impacted the music industry through chartbuster soundtracks in their filmography such as Darr (1993), Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995), and Dil To Pagal Hai (1997).[5]

2009 Disney buyout-refusal[edit | edit source]

In 2007, The Walt Disney Company entered Indian entertainment through a three-film co-production agreement with YRF, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, and Roadside Romeo. Disney's move was seen as a bid to increase its global recognition and finally enter the increasingly lucrative Indian cinema arena. In 2009, Disney offered a 49% acquisition of YRF for ₹2,500 crore (US$350 million)[6] (unadjusted for inflation), which took the valuation of the Indian entertainment company to ₹5,000 crore (equivalent to ₹100 billion or US$1.4 billion in 2019).[7] The acquisition proposal did not materialise, as Yash Raj Films chose not to proceed with Disney’s offer and continued to operate independently till date.

Aditya Chopra (2007 - present)[edit | edit source]

Aditya Chopra as Vice-Chairman[edit | edit source]

From 2007 to 2010, the company saw an all-time low, with several of their high-budgeted films failing at the box office, and thereby suffering losses amounting to millions. The films broke YRF's perfect success ratio and were oddly released one after another. Some of the most unsuccessful films produced under the banner were Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Aaja Nachle, Tashan, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Roadside Romeo, Dil Bole Hadippa!, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year and Pyaar Impossible.[citation needed]

Aditya Chopra then took over as the vice-chairman of Yash Raj Films in 2010, soon after the release of the film Badmaash Company under the same banner.[8]

In 2011, the company went into production of three individual films with Aamir Khan for Dhoom 3, Shah Rukh Khan for Jab Tak Hai Jaan and with Salman Khan for Ek Tha Tiger, the first installment in the YRF Spy Universe. The three films would become the most expensive productions ever undertaken by YRF; Ek Tha Tiger[9] was produced at ₹75 crore (US$11 million),[10] Jab Tak Hai Jaan was produced at ₹60 crore (US$8.4 million)[11] and Dhoom 3 was produced at ₹150 crore (US$21 million).[12]

Film Day of Release Screen Releases Distribution Budget Worldwide Gross
Ek Tha Tiger Eid (2012) 3,850 screens[13] YRF Distributors ₹75 crore (US$11 million)[10] ₹320 crore (US$45 million)[14]
Jab Tak Hai Jaan Diwali (2012) 3,100 screens[15] ₹60 crore (US$8.4 million)[11] ₹241 crore (US$34 million)[16]
Dhoom 3 Christmas (2013) 5,250 screens[17] ₹150 crore (US$21 million)[12] ₹542 crore (US$76 million)[18][19]

All three of these films broke box office records in India and went on to become some of the highest-grossing films of their time. Ek Tha Tiger,[9] which released on the 66th Independence Day of India, earned approximately ₹320 crore (US$45 million)[19] and became the eleventh highest-grossing film of Indian cinema. Jab Tak Hai Jaan opened worldwide on the Diwali day of 2012 and went on to earn ₹241 crore (US$34 million)[16] and became the fifteenth highest-grossing film in India. Dhoom 3 released in (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Arabic) on the Christmas week of 2013 and grossed approximately ₹542 crore (US$76 million),[20][21] in the worldwide market and went on to become the twelfth highest-grossing film of Indian cinema, as of January 2022.[citation needed]

Aditya Chopra as Chairman[edit | edit source]

After the death of Yash Chopra in October 2012, Aditya Chopra was elevated to the position of chairman and Chief Executive of the company's studio wing. Facing overwhelming pressure by the Indian bourses to be publicly listed around the same period, the company went for a soft-launch on 3 January 2013.[citation needed]

The company received angel investment by institutional fund-raisers such as LIC of India, RNT Associates, PremjiInvest, Catamaran Ventures, Maruti Udyog and Unilazer Ventures. YRF was made open to Indian enterprises only, and no FDI was accepted. Venture capitalists also showed interest in Adi Godrej, Y. C. Deveshwar, Kumar Birla, Arundhati Bhattacharya, Anand Mahindra, Chanda Kochhar, Sunil Mittal, Shikha Sharma and Uday Kotak investing undisclosed sums. YRF produced more films under the chairmanship of Chopra and the new management.[22]
