Balaji Motion Pictures is an Indian film production and distribution company, subsidiary company of Balaji Telefilms Limited, established by Shobha Kapoor and her daughter Ekta Kapoor. Located in Mumbai, it produces and distributes Hindi films. The chairman of the company is former Bollywood actor, Jeetendra Kapoor. In 2017, the company released its biography, Kingdom of the Soap Queen: The Story of Balaji Telefilms.[1]

Operations[edit | edit source]

Balaji Motion Pictures is based in Mumbai in the Balaji House on New Link Road, Andheri West, Mumbai. It operates from its head office in Andheri West and has studios in Film City and other locations in Mumbai.[citation needed]

History[edit | edit source]

Balaji Motion Pictures was set up in 2001 by Hindi television producer Ekta Kapoor with the purpose of venturing into film production. She produced Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta, released in 2001 with Govinda and Sushmita Sen in the lead roles. The film was a failure at the box office, collecting 13 crore (US$1.8 million).[2] Later, the company produced Kucch To Hai (2003), Krishna Cottage (2004) and Koi Aap Sa (2005), all of which did not fare well at the box office.[3]

In 2005, the company produced and released Kyaa Kool Hai Hum, which grossed 21.5 crore (US$3.0 million)[4] and made it to the top 10 Indian films of 2005 by Box Office India.[5]

In 2007, the company co-produced Shootout at Lokhandwala with Sanjay Gupta. It was a critical and commercial success,[6] collecting 68.17 crore (US$9.6 million) worldwide.[7]

In 2008, the company produced and released C Kkompany, which was a critical and commercial failure.[8] In the same year, the company co-produced Mission Istanbul and EMI – Liya Hai Toh Chukana Parega with Sunil Shetty. Both films failed critically and commercially.[9] In the same year, the company acquired the distribution rights of Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007)[10] and Sarkar Raj (2008) with a deal of almost 40 crore (US$5.6 million).[11] The films were both commercially successful, thereby making a step further for Balaji.

In 2010, the company's sub-branded ALT Entertainment, a youth-focused brand, produced a low-budget film, Love Sex aur Dhokha,[12] which was a sleeper hit at the box office.[13] In the same year, the company released Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, which was also a critical and commercial success.[14] This film marked the company's successful entry into film industry.[15][16][17]

In 2011, the company marked its entry into Marathi films by producing Taryanche Bait.[18] The film was a critical and commercial hit[19] and won many accolades including three awards for Best Film.[20] The company also released Shor in the City, a small-budget critically acclaimed film.[21][22] The same year also saw the release of Ragini MMS, co-produced with Amit Kapoor and Sidhartha M. Jain. The film won the Stardust Award for Best Film, and Ekta Kapoor announced the sequel of the film would be released in 2013, starring Indo-Canadian actress Sunny Leone.[23] The company released The Dirty Picture starring Vidya Balan on 2 December 2011. This proved to be a major blockbuster and was regarded as one of the best films of 2011, winning Vidya Balan her first National Award and numerous acting awards of 2011 for her performance. The film won six awards for Best Film.[24]

In 2012, the company released its first adult comedy, Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum, sequel to the 2005 hit Kyaa Kool Hai Hum, which was slammed by critics but was a box office success, made on a budget of 13 crore (US$1.8 million) and collecting 33 crore (US$4.6 million) in its first week.[25]

In April 2013, the company released the horror film Ek Thi Daayan, co-produced with Vishal Bhardwaj. It received positive reviews from critics and received 3 out of 5 on average. Jinson John of Indian Box Office stated "Ek Thi Daayan is not that regular Bhootiya story, the plot stands out of them all, it's surely is an experimental plot, but not written by an idiot."[citation needed] The film opened at around 30–40% occupancy, with a better opening in multiplexes rather than single screens, netting around 18.07 crore (US$2.5 million) over the first weekend.[citation needed]

In May 2013, the company released Shootout at Wadala. The film opened to mixed-to-positive reviews. Bollywood Hungama rated the film with stars whereas The Times of India rated it 4/5 stars stars.[26] Made on a shoestring budget of 26 crore (US$3.6 million), the film grossed 54.6 crore (US$7.7 million) worldwide. The film was declared "average" by Box Office India.[27] In July 2013, the company released Lootera, starring Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh as leads. It opened to positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4/5 stars stars, saying, "On the whole, LOOTERA is an intrinsically earnest and profoundly heartwarming story that stays in your heart. An absolute must for those who love romantic films or are romantic at heart. This one's a cinematic gem!"[28] Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave it 4/5 stars stars and noted, "Lootera is a gorgeous, gorgeous film, one that uses its period setting affectionately, with loving detail, and not exploitative as our cinema wont to do."[29] Meena Iyer of The Times of India assigned the film 4/5 stars stars and noted, "Lootera is a love saga of yore... You may find this film boring if state-of-the-art, slow romance is not your idea of a movie outing."[30] The film was made on a budget of 27 crore (US$3.8 million) and netted 38 crore (US$5.3 million) worldwide in its lifetime.[31]

In August 2013, the company released Once Upon ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara!, the sequel to one of its most successful films, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai.[32] The film opened to negative reviews from critics, some of whom slammed it for its poor drafting and execution of storyline.[33] The film was made on a high budget of 85 crore (US$12 million) to 100 crore (US$14 million) and collected 70 crore (US$9.8 million) worldwide, thereby netting a loss, and was declared a "flop".[34]

On February 28, 2014, the company released Shaadi Ke Side Effects starring Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan. It opened to positive reviews and collected 5.7 crore (US$800,000) on its first day. It grossed 21.2 crore (US$3.0 million) in its opening weekend. It grossed 70 crore (US$9.8 million) worldwide during its lifetime run and was declared "below average" by Box Office India.[35]

On March 21, 2014, the company released Ragini MMS 2, starring Sunny Leone, the sequel to another successful film of the company, Ragini MMS. Made on a budget of 18 crore (US$2.5 million), the film opened to mixed reviews from critics and went on to collect 65 crore (US$9.1 million).[35] The film was a major commercial success and was declared a "hit" by Box Office India.[36]

On April 4, 2014, the company released Main Tera Hero, starring Varun Dhawan as the protagonist, directed by David Dhawan. It received positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated it 3.5/5 stars stars, and wrote "On the whole, Main Tera Hero is a wild, wacky, madcap entertainer that has the unmistakable stamp of the master of entertainers – David Dhawan. An over-the-top plot, humor quotient and performances are three aces the film stands on. The film should work well with admirers of typical Bollywood masalathons, also because Varun Dhawan pulls off the act with flamboyance and bowls you over with an uproarious act in this zany entertainer. Go, have fun and laugh out loud!"[37] Srijana Mitra Das of The Times of India gave the movie 3.5/5 stars stars, saying, "Main Tera Hero is a pav bhaji picture, quick, spicy, hot. It has the depth of a comic strip but it also has its neon-shaded fun. For those who want a light laugh, here's your boy."[citation needed] Made on a budget of 42.5 crore (US$6.0 million), the movie went on to collect 77 crore (US$11 million) worldwide[35] and was declared a "hit" by Box Office India.

On May 30, 2014, the company released the small-budget film Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi, co-produced by Bejoy Nambiar.[citation needed] It opened to mixed reviews from critics and also failed to collect at the box office. It collected a mere 3 crore (US$420,000), thereby recovering its costs.[citation needed]

In June 2014, the company released Ek Villain co-starring celebrities Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh. It opened up to positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama awarded the movie 4/5 stars and wrote, "On the whole, Ek Villain is a stylish, spellbinding and terrifying edge-of-the-seat thriller. It's a step forward in this genre, without a doubt. A sure-shot winner!"[38] Radita Tandon from Filmfare gave the film 4/5 stars stars and noted that, "Though indulgent in parts, Ek Villain packs in a punch. Copy of a Korean film or not, it's 'good' paisa vasool entertainment. Make it your weekend watch."[citation needed] Meena Iyer of The Times of India gave the film 3/5 stars stars, stating that "You cannot fault the scale of Ek Villain or berate its lead star cast. But you wish you could celebrate this thriller like you did Suri's last movie outing Aashiqui 2."[citation needed] The film, made on a budget of 35 crore (US$4.9 million), went on to collect 105.05 crore (US$15 million) in India[39] and grossed 135 crore (US$19 million) (approx.) with a distributor share of 49.75 crore (US$7.0 million) itself in India.[40] The film was declared a "super hit" by Box Office India.[citation needed]
