The banner was responsible for several commercial successes and franchise starters, including Aashiqui (1990), Jurm (1990), Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991), Sadak (1991), Junoon (1992), Sir (1993), Dushman (1998), Ghulam (1998), Sangharsh (1999), Raaz (2002), Murder (2004), Gangster (2006), Awarapan (2007), Jannat (2008), Murder 2 (2011), Jannat 2 (2012), Aashiqui 2 (2013), and Awarapan 2 (2026). Following a professional parting between the brothers in 2021, the company came under the sole ownership of Mukesh Bhatt, with Vishesh Bhatt serving as its creative and production head.
