Karan Johar, the son of Yash Johar, has directed six films for Dharma Productions

Dharma Productions is an Indian production company established by Yash Johar in 1976.[1] As of 2016, the company has produced 36 Bollywood films, including five that are yet to be released. A large number of these films were co-produced with companies such as UTV Motion Pictures and Red Chillies Entertainment.

Dharma Productions' first release came in 1980 with the Raj Khosla-directed Dostana, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha, which was a commercial success.[2] However, their subsequent releases, Duniya (1984) and Muqaddar Ka Faisla (1987) performed poorly at the box office.[3] Their first release of the 1990s, the Bachchan-starring thriller Agneepath (1990) garnered critical acclaim but was a commercial failure.[4] The company's next releases were the thriller Gumrah (1993) and the comedy Duplicate (1998), both directed by Mahesh Bhatt.[3] In 1998, Yash Johar's son, Karan Johar, made his directorial debut with the romantic drama Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji. The film was the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 1998, and established Dharma Productions as a leading production company in India.[5][6] Their subsequent releases, the ensemble melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001), the comedy-drama Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) and the romantic drama Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), all starring Khan, were popular among the Indian diaspora worldwide and emerged as top-grossing Hindi films in overseas sales.[7][8]

From 2008 onwards, in addition to directorial ventures from Karan Johar, the company introduced several new directors, including Ayan Mukerji, Punit Malhotra, Karan Malhotra, and Shakun Batra.[9] The romantic comedy Dostana (2008) was the first mainstream Hindi film to take a homosexual storyline.[10] In 2012, Karan Johar directed the teenage drama Student of the Year, which marked the debut of actors Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.[11] The following year, the company co-produced the critically acclaimed drama The Lunchbox, which was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language.[12] Dharma Productions' greatest successes in the 2010s came with the drama My Name Is Khan (2010),[13] the 2012 remake of Agneepath,[13] the comedy-drama Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013),[14] the romantic drama 2 States (2014),[15] and the drama Kapoor & Sons (2016).[16] The most frequent collaborations of the company have been with the actors Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kajol.
