Vijayta Films

What Vijayta Films does

Vijayta Films is a privately held, family-owned Bollywood film production banner founded in 1981 by veteran actor Dharmendra and headquartered in Juhu, Mumbai. The company produces Hindi feature films across genres — action (Ghayal, 1990), romance (Barsaat, 1995), biopics (23rd March 1931: Shaheed, 2002) and family comedies (Poster Boys, 2017) — and has built its identity around launching new acting and directing talent, including Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Amrita Singh, Twinkle Khanna, Abhay Deol, and directors Imtiaz Ali and Shreyas Talpade. Operations are run by the second generation under Sunny Deol, with a third generation (Karan Deol) prepared for debut in the upcoming production Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas.

The group's technology footprint centers on Sunny Sounds Pvt. Ltd. (Sunny Super Sounds), a 1983-established, wholly-owned subsidiary providing in-house post-production services: dubbing studios, live and sync sounds suites, music recording facilities, edit suites, pre-mix rooms, and a 77-seater preview theater supporting film, Dolby, Atmos and 3D formats. This integrated studio infrastructure gives the production banner internal control over sound, music and preview workflows while also generating external service revenue from third-party filmmakers, composers and screening events.

Commercially, Vijayta Films monetizes each film through a multi-window rights stack: theatrical distribution across India's multiplex and single-screen network, satellite rights to Hindi movie channels, music rights (including to Times Music), and digital streaming rights. Studio services revenue at Sunny Super Sounds is quoted on a per-project, per-client basis for external producers and composers. The company serves the mass-market Hindi cinema audience and, as a B2B services provider, third-party filmmakers and music creators. With roughly 21 employees and a release cadence of approximately one film every 2-3 years, the business is small, lumpy and dependent on individual project outcomes.
