Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, released in 2001, directed by Anil Sharma and starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, was one of the first films produced by Zee Telefilms. The film was declared an All-Time Blockbuster by Box Office India and ranked among the top 3 Indian films in all-time highest footfalls since the 1990s.[3]

### 2015–2020

[edit]

The first-ever film produced under the banner of Zee Studios was Sanjay Gupta’s thriller suspense Jazbaa in the year 2015, which starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan alongside Irrfan Khan and Shabana Azmi. For her performance in the film, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan won the Stardust Award for Power-Packed Performance of the Year (2015).[4]

In the same year (2015), Zee Studios forayed into regional cinema with a Marathi film, Katyar Kaljat Ghusali, an epic musical drama. It starred Shankar Mahadevan, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Subodh Bhave, Pushkar Shrotri, Mrunmayee Deshpande and Amruta Khanvilkar in the lead roles.[5] The film marked the directorial debut of Subodh Bhave, the theatrical acting debut of Shankar Mahadevan, and Sakshi Tanwar's Marathi film debut. The critics regarded the film as a rich treasure of music and was also a huge success at the box office. The film won the National Award for Best Male Playback Singer (Mahesh Kale). Katyar Kaljat Ghusali was selected to be screened at the 46th International Film Festival of India in Goa[6] and was considered for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Fellini medal that year.[7]

In 2016 the company produced Natsamrat starring Nana Patekar and Medha Manjrekar, which portrayed a tragic story of a stage actor.[8] In the same year, the studio also released the Marathi-language romantic tragedy film Sairat, directed and produced by Nagraj Manjule.[9] It was lauded by media outlets such as The Hindu, The Wire, HuffPost, The Quint, and more, and highly appreciated by critics. For the first time in the history of the Marathi film industry, three songs for the film were recorded at the Sony Scoring Stage in Los Angeles.[10] The production included 66 instrumentalists at an expenditure of over Rs. 75 lakhs. Sairat's music went on to become a sensation throughout the country after the release of the film. The film received several accolades both regionally and nationally, including 11 awards at the 2017 Filmfare Marathi Awards. It won Best Film, Best Director (Nagraj Manjule), Best Actress (Rinku Rajguru), and Best Music Album at Filmfare. Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar won in the best debut female and male categories, respectively. The film also premiered at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it received a standing ovation. Rajguru received the National Film Award – Special Mention at the 63rd National Film Awards. Sairat is the highest-grossing Marathi movie to date.[11][12]

In the following year, Zee Studios witnessed success with its Marathi features; Ti Saddhya Kay Karte, a Marathi-language romantic drama directed by Satish Rajwade.[13] Chi Va Chi Sau Ka, a Marathi-language comedy-drama, ran for over 100 days in many Maharashtra cities.[14] Faster Fene, produced by Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia Deshmukh, and Mangesh Kulkarni and starring Girish Kulkarni, was another Marathi language film co-produced by the company that did well in Maharashtra.[15]

In its Hindi line-up, the studio released Mom, starring Sridevi in the lead role, which received rave reviews from critics.[16]

In October 2017, the company released a musical drama, Secret Superstar, starring Aamir Khan and Zaira Wasim, in 1,100 theatres and on 28,401 screens worldwide, with 1090 screens overseas.[17] Soon after its release, the film went on to become one of the most profitable films of all time. The film is also the highest-grossing Indian film featuring a female protagonist, the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2017, the seventh-highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, and the second-highest-grossing Indian film overseas.[18] Overall the film won three Filmfare Awards, including Best Actress (Critics) for Zaira Wasim, Best Supporting Actress for Vij, and Best Playback Singer (Female) for Meghna Mishra. Zaira Wasim also won the National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement for her performance in the film. The company also released Qarib Qarib Singlle the same year starring Irrfan Khan and debuting in Hindi Cinema, Malayalam actress Parvathy Thiruvothu, which received favorable reviews from critics.[19]

Meanwhile, owing to the rise of over-the-top, subscription-based media services, Zee Entertainment launched its video streaming service on February 14, 2018. ZEE5 would use this to stream all Zee Entertainment content, from films to shows.[20]

Zee Studios commenced the year 2018 by releasing the Marathi comedy-drama, Gulabjaam, which performed averagely in the cinemas and went on to stream on ZEE5. The company also produced Beyond the Clouds, which was the grown-up version of Majid Majidi's previously directed film, Children of Heaven (1997).[21]

The movie was released in 2 phases; it was released overseas in 2017, premiering at the 2017 BFI London Film Festival, the 22nd Busan International Film Festival, the 14th Dubai International Film Festival, the 5th International Bosphorus Film Festival, the 29th Palm Springs International Film Festival, and the 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), while the Indian theatrical release took place on April 20, 2018.[22]

The studio also produced Dhadak, Hindi-language remake of Sairat, which became a commercial hit, introducing two actors, Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor.[23] Then came Paltan, which received positive reviews from the families of the soldiers, but the audience and critics found the film's execution largely ineffective for a war film and an extremely long runtime.[24]

Two successes for Zee Studios came in the middle of the year: one from Veere Di Wedding, which emerged as the fifth-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year and the highest for a film featuring female leads.[25] The other was Raazi, which became the second commercially successful film with a female lead to join the ₹ 100 crore club in India.[26] At the 64th Filmfare Awards, Raazi received 15 nominations and won 5 awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Meghna Gulzar), and Best Actress (Alia Bhatt).

Mulk, a legal drama released later that year, received positive reviews and won a Filmfare Award in the category of ‘Best Story’.[27][28] Zee Studios also distributed Gold, a period sports film starring Akshay Kumar, with a budget of ₹ 61 crores, which ended up crossing the ₹ 100 crore mark at the box office.[29]

Zee Studios produced a wide range of films in 2019 Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi performed well both nationally and internationally and became one of the highest-grossing women-centric films in India.[30] Kangana Ranaut's portrayal of Rani Lakshmi Bai in the film garnered critical acclaim, winning her the National Film Award for Best Actress at the 67th National Film Awards.[31] The film was selected for the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and was screened at the Kashi Indian International Film Festival, Itanagar International Film Festival, and at the Indian Embassy in Lebanon under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav event.[32]

The company also produced the romantic comedy-drama, Kala Shah Kala in Punjabi.[33] It was well-received and rapidly rose to commercial success. It currently ranks as the 21st-highest-earning Punjabi movie. Kesari was another hit film produced and distributed internationally by the company.[34]

Throughout the year, the studio produced films like Rampaat,[35] Pailwaan (Hindi dubbed), and Nerkonda Paarvai,[36] which performed commercially well. They also produced a film named, The Tashkent Files, a thriller about the death of former Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.[37]

Another well-received film was Anubhav Sinha's directorial, Article 15, which was the opening film for the 10th edition of the London Indian Film Festival and has won 3 Filmfare Awards[38]\- Best Film Critic (Anubhav Sinha), Best Actor Critic (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Best Story (Anubhav Sinha and Gaurav Solanki).[39] At the end of the year, the studio came out with the lighthearted comedy-drama Good Newwz which became the 5th highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2019.[40]

In 2020, Zee Studios released most of its films on OTT, due to the safety measures for the then-ongoing pandemic, COVID-19. It included movies like Hacked,[41] Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship,[42] Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari,[43] Khaali Peeli,[44] and Solo Brathuke So Better.[45]

### 2021–present

[edit]

2021 was the year when Zee Studios decided to deliberately invest in more regional cinema. The company distributed one Telugu political drama, Republic,[46] and a Kannada-language crime thriller film Drishya 2,[47] which was a remake of the 2021 Malayalam film Drishyam 2 and was regarded as one of the important movies in its line-up that attracted family audiences. The company also produced three Punjabi-language films, namely Qismat 2,[48] Puaada,[49] and Fuffad Ji,[50] and all three were hit. Among the three films, Qismat 2 was a sleeper hit that became one of the 15 highest- grossing Punjabi films of all time.
