## History and family background
The family's film enterprise predates the company by decades. In a 2014 interview, Sajid Nadiadwala said his grandfather Abdul Karim Nadiadwala came to Mumbai in 1955 from a village near Nadiad, beyond Baroda in Gujarat, and began producing films, "hundreds of them," including *Taj Mahal*; Sajid's father Suleman continued the tradition.[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sajid-nadiadwalas-kick-starring-salman-film-industry-has-temporary-enemies-and-permanent-friends-sajid-nadiadwala/articleshow/28953786.cms) The company's LinkedIn profile credits the family with over 200 films from as early as 1955, and lists *Inspector* (1956) as the first film under the banner, followed by *Taj Mahal* (1963) and *Chitralekha* (1964).[6](https://in.linkedin.com/company/ngemovies)
**The name.** Sajid Nadiadwala explained the choice directly: "My uncle's banner was Nadiadwala Sons. Most companies were named 'so and so sons' so I registered 'Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt Ltd' as my grandfather was the reason we were in this line."[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sajid-nadiadwalas-kick-starring-salman-film-industry-has-temporary-enemies-and-permanent-friends-sajid-nadiadwala/articleshow/28953786.cms)
Sajid Nadiadwala joined J.P. Dutta as an assistant director on *Ghulami* at 21, became an independent producer at 25, and saw his first successes as a producer with the back-to-back hits *[Jeet](https://www.edgepedia.org/jeet-1996-film)* and *Judwaa* in 1995.[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sajid-nadiadwalas-kick-starring-salman-film-industry-has-temporary-enemies-and-permanent-friends-sajid-nadiadwala/articleshow/28953786.cms)
## Founding dates: what the records say
Three founding years circulate, and they measure different things. The corporate registry records incorporation as a private limited company on 29 April 2005.[1](https://cleartax.in/f/company/nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment-private-limited/U92100MH2005PTC152918/) The company's own page says it was "established in 1990,"[3](https://nadiadwalagrandson.com/nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment/) its LinkedIn profile says Sajid Nadiadwala established the company in 2005,[6](https://in.linkedin.com/company/ngemovies) and the Audiovisual Identity Database dates the establishment to 1992.[4](https://www.avid.wiki/Nadiadwala_Grandson_Entertainment)
## Filmography and recognition
The on-screen NGE logo debuted with *[Highway](https://www.edgepedia.org/highway-2014-hindi-film)*, released 21 February 2014; the same database lists *[Kalank](https://www.edgepedia.org/kalank)* (17 April 2019, with a logo variation) and *Bachchhan Paandey* (18 March 2022).[4](https://www.avid.wiki/Nadiadwala_Grandson_Entertainment) The company's profile adds *Housefull 5* and *O' Romeo* to its cited slate.[3](https://nadiadwalagrandson.com/nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment/)
The company's page cites [Nitesh Tiwari](https://www.edgepedia.org/nitesh-tiwari)'s *Chhichhore* as the winner of the 67th National Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.[3](https://nadiadwalagrandson.com/nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment/) On commercial performance, the LinkedIn profile cites *2 States*, starring [Alia Bhatt](https://www.edgepedia.org/alia-bhatt) and [Arjun Kapoor](https://www.edgepedia.org/arjun-kapoor), as having entered the 1 billion (100 crore) club.[6](https://in.linkedin.com/company/ngemovies)
## Business model and collaborations
**Self-financing.** Sajid Nadiadwala has described the company as deliberately not a studio: "I invest my own money as I am not a studio, so I make what I see, which is only entertaining films."[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sajid-nadiadwalas-kick-starring-salman-film-industry-has-temporary-enemies-and-permanent-friends-sajid-nadiadwala/articleshow/28953786.cms)
**Streaming.** NGE signed its first-ever worldwide exclusive, multi-film, multi-year licensing deal with Amazon Prime Video, making the streamer the worldwide home to the banner's upcoming slate shortly after theatrical release.[5](https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/amazon-prime-video-nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment-team-up-for-multi-film-licensing-collaboration/article65475477.ece) The deal followed Prime Video's April announcements of similar post-theatrical licensing agreements with [Yash Raj Films](https://www.edgepedia.org/yash-raj-films), Dharma Productions, Excel Media and [Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/entertainment), and Ajay Devgn FFilms.[5](https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/amazon-prime-video-nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment-team-up-for-multi-film-licensing-collaboration/article65475477.ece) The company has also announced a strategic alliance with Banijay Asia to develop original series and films and adapt international hits for Indian audiences.[7](https://nadiadwalagrandson.com/news/)
## What has changed since 2023
The post-2023 slate combines franchise continuations with awards-recognized originals. The company page lists *Chandu Champion* among its titles,[3](https://nadiadwalagrandson.com/nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment/) and *[Housefull](https://www.edgepedia.org/housefull-film-series) 5* was promoted with a trailer released in two versions featuring two different killers.[8](https://boxofficeworldwide.com/movies-latest-news/nadiadwala-grandson-75-years-bollywood-celebrations-housefull5-trailer/) The company marked a 75-years-in-industry milestone with a celebration attended by [Shah Rukh Khan](https://www.edgepedia.org/shah-rukh-khan), Akshay Kumar and [Priyanka Chopra](https://www.edgepedia.org/priyanka-chopra).[8](https://boxofficeworldwide.com/movies-latest-news/nadiadwala-grandson-75-years-bollywood-celebrations-housefull5-trailer/)
## By the numbers, with caveats
The family, across its members, is credited with over 200 films from as early as 1955,[6](https://in.linkedin.com/company/ngemovies) and the company's page describes a journey spanning over seven decades, marking a 75-year milestone,[3](https://nadiadwalagrandson.com/nadiadwala-grandson-entertainment/) while its LinkedIn profile describes a third-generation company.[6](https://in.linkedin.com/company/ngemovies) Sajid Nadiadwala has claimed that since his 1995 breakthrough, "90% of my films have been hits," a self-assessment.[2](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/sajid-nadiadwalas-kick-starring-salman-film-industry-has-temporary-enemies-and-permanent-friends-sajid-nadiadwala/articleshow/28953786.cms) One weak trade source dates the family's founding to 1950 rather than 1955,[8](https://boxofficeworldwide.com/movies-latest-news/nadiadwala-grandson-75-years-bollywood-celebrations-housefull5-trailer/) while the 2014 interview and the company's own materials give 1955.
