Yash Raj Films (abbreviated as YRF) is an Indian entertainment company, established by Yash Chopra in 1970, that produces and distributes motion pictures. As of 2019, the company has produced 78 Hindi films, including four that are yet to be released, and one Tamil film. Yash Raj Films started a film distribution business in 1997, and in addition to distributing their own productions, the company has handled the domestic and/or international distribution of over 40 films from other companies.
Yash Raj Films' first release came in 1973 with the Chopra-directed Daag: A Poem of Love, a drama about bigamy, starring Rajesh Khanna, Raakhee and Sharmila Tagore. The company had four more releases in the 1970s, including the family drama Kabhie Kabhie and the action film Kaala Patthar, both of which starred Amitabh Bachchan. Yash Raj Films' sole commercial success in the 1980s was the Sridevi-starring romance Chandni. The year 1995 marked the directorial debut of Aditya Chopra with the highly successful romantic drama Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, the film has the longest theatrical run in Indian cinema history. Other successful releases of the 1990s were Darr (1993) and Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), both starring Khan.
In the 2000s, Yash Raj Films produced a larger number of films. In addition to directorial ventures from Yash and Aditya Chopra, the company launched several new directors, including Sanjay Gadhvi, Vijay Krishna Acharya, Kunal Kohli, Siddharth Anand, and Shaad Ali. Some of the company's top-grossing films in that decade include Gadhvi's action thrillers Dhoom (2004) and Dhoom 2 (2006), Kohli's romantic thriller Fanaa (2006), Ali's comedy film Bunty Aur Babli (2005), Yash Chopra's romance Veer-Zaara (2004), and Aditya Chopra's dramas Mohabbatein (2000) and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008). Beginning in 2008, the company introduced a number of new actors such as Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, Parineeti Chopra, and Arjun Kapoor.
Yash Raj Films' highest-grossing films came in the 2010s with the spy thriller Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and its 2017 sequel, both starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, the third installment of the Dhoom franchise, entitled Dhoom 3 (2013), featuring Aamir Khan, Uday Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan, and the sports drama Sultan (2016), starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma. All four films rank among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. The most frequent collaborations of the company have been with the actors Rani Mukerji, Rishi Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, Saif Ali Khan, and Parineeti Chopra.
