The journey to profitability began with CY’s first major hit, ‘#TanuWedsManu’, which grossed over Rs 50 crore, a significant achievement for its time. The sequel, ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, shattered expectations with over Rs 250 crore in worldwide earnings. Other films like ‘#Raanjhanaa’ earned over Rs 85 crore globally and ‘#Tumbbad’, which redefined horror and earned cult status, further established the brand’s ability to produce critically acclaimed and financially successful ventures.

The recent re-release of ‘Tumbbad’ showcased Rai’s ability to sustain profitability through long-term audience engagement. The production house’s adaptability has driven profits, with its foray into OTT proving a masterstroke. Films like ‘#HaseenDillruba’ and its sequel, ‘#PhirAayiHaseenDillruba’, topped Netflix charts globally, entering the top 10 in 22 countries. This diversification into direct-to-digital releases has opened new revenue streams while balancing innovation with profitability. Beyond Bollywood, Colour Yellow has successfully ventured into regional cinema with Marathi hits like #Aatmapamphlet and #Jhimma2. Their third Marathi film, #FussclassDabhade, is now gearing up for its much-anticipated release, showcasing the universal appeal of India’s heartland stories.

With ventures spanning Bollywood, regional cinema, and OTT platforms, Colour Yellow Productions is poised to significantly expand its content slate. This exciting growth will not only ensure a steady and robust stream of projects but also cater to an even broader range of audience preferences, all while continuing to innovate and push boundaries in Indian filmmaking.

Speaking about the diverse approaches to filmmaking, Rai shared “There is no one way in filmmaking. At Colour Yellow, we focus on creating dynamic stories that resonate with audiences, whether through a Bollywood classic or a regional gem. Our goal has always been to connect emotionally with the viewer while exploring untold narratives. From cult classics like Tumbbad to the rich tapestry of Marathi cinema, we aim to reflect life’s essence in every story we tell.”

As profits soar, so do the stakes. Slated for a Valentine’s Day 2025 release, Colour Yellow’s #Nakhrewaalii marks the first of a three-project association with Jio Studios. Additionally, Rai will return to the director’s chair for #TereIshkMein, starring Dhanush. With a remarkable and consistent history of creating films that resonate deeply with audiences, Colour Yellow Productions has become a blueprint for success in Indian cinema—a testament to not only Aanand L Rai’s creative vision but also his sharp business acumen.

Vikrant Massey has been a darling of the film industry and critics, and he has consistently been giving fab performances one after the other. With Haseen Dillruba he wins the applause once again. He has become hot property and every reviewer is raving about his superb act.

Aaj Tak writes, “Vikrant Massey has once again given proof of his nuanced acting. From being a simple man to turning into an obsessive lover boy, Vikrant has wonderfully played the character with twists and turns.”

Sushri Sahu from Mashable writes, “I am definitely starting a Vikrant Massey fan club. It should be criminal to be so good.”

Bollywood Hungama writes, “Vikrant Massey gives his best shot. In fact, his role has a lot of shades and it’s a treat to see how he essays the part.”

“Vikrant’s personality undergoes a dramatic flip and it is to the credit of Vikrant, who is so cooly evocative as he effortlessly settles into the changing pace. Vikrant is in top form ensuring we quite willingly get sucked into this pulpy universe,” writes The Quint.

Mashable India writes, “Vikrant Massey will keep you guessing till the end in this thriller mystery.”

“Vikrant is aptly cast as the mild-mannered yet assertive Rishu, who talks less, but says a lot through his eyes,” writes Times Of India.

NDTV writes, “Taapsee Pannu shines in the pivotal role, but it is Vikrant Massey who steals the show.”

“Vikrant Massey as a dutiful husband is outstanding. He is his wife’s little lamb who turns into a man-eating lion when pushed to the wall. With a twitch of his mouth and a flicker of an eye, Massey makes Rishu a nice reliable man who can transform into a creature of caprice,” writes SpotboyE.

It has been really long that a young actor of this generation has got so much praise from critics and audiences alike. Vikrant Massey is slowly turning to be the flavour of the year.
