AKP is one of the most successful production houses of the nation, and probably the only one with not a single flop. In the 16 years of its journey the company has come a long way. Here's a list of the mind blowing flicks the production house brought to the audiences.
Lagaan - Lagaan was the first film under AKP banner. The 2001 film went on to be India's official nomination for the Oscars in that year. The epic sports drama based on the British era not only received critical acclamation but is also one of the most successful films in Bollywood. The story of Lagaan is synonymous to patriotism, as the film essays the fight of villagers against the British rulers on tax payment which was settled by a cricket match.
Taare Zameen Par - The 2007 film was an emotionally driven story with a very strong message. The unconventional film marks the directorial debut of Aamir Khan. Aamir took a backseat to let Darsheel bask in the glory and limelight in the film, making Ishaan Awasthi the star of the film. The movie explores the imagination of an 8 year old dyslexic kid, who is misunderstood by the society. The film has given us a gem in the form of the song, "Maa" which is symbolic in its emotional stature. 'Taare Zameen par' gave a hard hitting message to the audiences which is deeply etched in the heart of the audiences.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na - This was a 2008 romantic drama that carved a place for itself in the clustered romantic genre.

Peepli Live - The 2010 satirical comedy was a story that explored the topic of 'farmers suicide' and the media and political response that follows.
