History

Zee Studios was founded in 2012 and was formerly known as Essel Vision Productions. Before the establishment of Zee Studios, films were produced under the name Zee Telefilms. 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.[10]

2015–2020

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).[11]

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.[12] 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[13] and was considered for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Fellini medal that year.[14]

In 2016 the company produced Natsamrat starring Nana Patekar and Medha Manjrekar, which portrayed a tragic story of a stage actor.[15] In the same year, the studio also released the Marathi-language romantic tragedy film Sairat, directed and produced by Nagraj Manjule.[16] 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.[17] 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.[18][19]

The film remade in several languages, including Manasu Mallige (2017) in Kannada, Channa Mereya (2017) in Punjabi, Laila O Laila (2017) in Odia, Noor Jahaan (2018) in Bengali, and Dhadak (2018) in Hindi.

After that (2016), Zee Studios released Rustom, a crime thriller starring Akshay Kumar and Ileana D'Cruz. The movie became the fourth highest-grossing Hindi film and the fifth highest-grossing Indian film of 2016. The film also won a National Award in the Best Actor category.

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.[20] Chi Va Chi Sau Ka, a Marathi-language comedy-drama, ran for over 100 days in many Maharashtra cities.[21] 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.[22]

In its Hindi line-up, the studio released Mom, starring Sridevi in the lead role, which received rave reviews from critics.[23] In just 17 days of box office revenue, it joined PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan in the ₹100 crore league in China. Released in four languages, the movie has also received a number of honors and awards, including national awards for Best Actress (Sridevi) and Best Background Music (A. R. Rahman) and IIFA awards for Best Actress (Sridevi) and Best Supporting Actor (Nawazuddin Siddiqui).

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.[24] 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.[25] 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.[26]

Raees, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, made 2017 a year of success for Zee Studios International, earning 5 nominations at the 63rd Filmfare Awards, including Best Actor in a leading role for Shah Rukh Khan.

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.[27]

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).[28]

The first look of the film was launched at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival and the second one at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. 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.[29]

The studio also produced Dhadak, Hindi-language remake of Sairat, which became a commercial hit, introducing two actors, Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor.[30] 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.[31]

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.[32] The other was Raazi, which became the second commercially successful film with a female lead to join the ₹ 100 crore club in India.[33] 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’.[34][35] 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.[36]

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.[37] 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.[38] 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.[39]

The company also produced the romantic comedy-drama, Kala Shah Kala in Punjabi.[40] 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.[41] The film has a National Award, won for the Best Male Playback Singer (B Praak) for the song "Teri Mitti".

Throughout the year, the studio produced films like Rampaat,[42] Pailwaan (Hindi dubbed), and Nerkonda Paarvai,[43] 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.[44] The film won two National awards, including Best Dialogues (Vivek Agnihotri) and Best Supporting Actress (Pallavi Joshi).

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[45]- Best Film Critic (Anubhav Sinha), Best Actor Critic (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Best Story (Anubhav Sinha and Gaurav Solanki).[46] 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.[47]

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,[48] Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship,[49] Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari,[50] Khaali Peeli,[51] and Solo Brathuke So Better.[52]

2021–present

2021 was the year when Zee Studios decided to deliberately invest in more regional cinema. The company distributed one Telugu political drama, Republic,[53] and a Kannada-language crime thriller film Drishya 2,[54] 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,[55] Puaada,[56] and Fuffad Ji,[57] 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. The year gave Zee Studios some good releases, including well-performing Thalaivii,[58] a film based on the life of Indian actress-politician J. Jayalalithaa and Antim: The Final Truth[59] and, Radhe,[60] starring Salman Khan. Later, it was released on ZEE5 and was one of the most-watched OTT films on the day of its release, with 4.2 million views. The company also produced Sanak, which was released digitally on 15 October 2021, on Disney+ Hotstar.

2022 was a very successful year for Zee Studios. The year began with The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, which became one of the most successful Hindi films of all time, and the 3rd highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in India,[61] despite receiving mixed reviews. The film was also an official selection at the 53rd International Film Festival of India and was shortlisted for the prestigious Switzerland International Film Festival.[62][63]

In 2022, the company collaborated with Annapurna Studios to produce the Telugu-language supernatural action drama Bangarraju, directed by Kalyan Krishna.[64] It opened to mixed reviews, mostly positive, and was declared a success at the box office. The company also produced a Tamil language action thriller, Valimai, that crossed the 100-crore mark in the Indian market.[65] The studio also produced and distributed Rashtra Kavach Om, which was in theatres and then subsequently released on ZEE5.[66]

Raksha Bandhan, directed by Aanand L. Rai and starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, received mixed reviews from critics but remained commercially unsuccessful.[67] On the other hand, Rocket Gang, produced by Zee Studios, was a poor performer, critically and commercially.[68] But Punjabi films like - Saunkan Saunkne,[69] Main Viyah Nahi Karona Tere Naal,[70] Ghund Kadh Le Ni Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya, and Teri Meri Gal Ban Gayi[71] - distributed by the company performed quite well at the box office.

In the same year, the company also distributed a horde of Bollywood movies like- Jhund,[72] Janhit Mein Jaari,[73] Goodbye,[74] and Ram Setu. Zee Studios also distributed two Kannada films- Vikrant Rona and Head Bush[75] and one Marathi film Bhaubali.[76]

The studio wrapped the year with two thrillers - one released in cinemas and another on the OTT. The first was the survival thriller Mili, a remake of the 2019 Malayalam-language film Helen, co-produced by Boney Kapoor. The film received mixed reviews from critics, although garnering praises for Janhvi Kapoor's performance.[77] And the other one was the horror thriller Blurr, starring Taapsee Pannu and Gulshan Devaiah, which was also Taapsee Pannu's first project as a producer.

Zee Studios also produced a Telugu movie, Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam[78] and a Kannada film titled Vedha[79] which was the last release of 2022 for us in the South. Vedha was a milestone, marking the 125th film for actor Shiva Rajkumar, and was one of the biggest films of the year for the Kannada industry both in terms of production and reception from the audience. Directed by A Harsha, the film stirred conversations around women's dignity and safety by highlighting a gruesome story of child rape.

Zee Studios started 2023 on a bright note with its new release Lost, starring Yami Gautam, opening at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival,[80] Manoj Bajpayee starrer Hindi film Joram’s official selection at the 52nd International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR),[81] competing at the Big Screen Competition and Film Bazar; Karisma Kapoor starrer Brown’s selection at the Berlinale Market Selects 2023 which was the only series under the category, and Ashish Avinash Bende’s Aatmapamphlet, screening at the prestigious 73rd Berlin International Film Festival.
