Good Bad Films

Good Bad Films is a film-production company based in Mumbai, India. Founded in 2009 by director Anurag Kashyap, the company was formerly known as Anurag Kashyap Films and AKFPL before adopting the Good Bad Films name. Its identity is closely associated with Kashyap's filmmaking career and with Hindi-language projects positioned outside the most conventional patterns of mainstream Bollywood production. The company is known for producing or being associated with films such as Dev.D (2009), Udaan (2010), Shaitan (2012), and The Lunchbox (2013). These titles helped place the company within India's independent, art-house, and new-wave cinema landscape. The projects span different creative approaches and genres, but collectively reflect a focus on director-led filmmaking and stories that received substantial attention beyond formulaic commercial cinema. Good Bad Films operates primarily as a film-production brand rather than as a consumer-facing product company. Its principal offerings are feature-film projects developed, financed, produced, or presented under the company identity. The available reference material does not establish a detailed corporate structure, ownership arrangement, current executive roster, distribution network, financial profile, or present operating status. Consequently, the company is best documented through its filmography and its association with Anurag Kashyap. The company's historical importance comes from its role in the expansion of India's contemporary independent-film ecosystem. Through projects including Dev.D, Udaan, Shaitan, and The Lunchbox, Good Bad Films became associated with commercially visible cinema that retained strong auteur, experimental, or socially distinctive characteristics. The available sources do not provide enough information to determine whether the company remains actively producing films, has changed ownership, or operates under another corporate structure today.

Good Bad Films was established in Mumbai in 2009 by Indian film director Anurag Kashyap. The company initially operated under the names Anurag Kashyap Films and AKFPL, reflecting its close connection to its founder. It later became known as Good Bad Films, while retaining an identity centered on film production and director-led cinema. The company's early profile was shaped by its association with Dev.D, released in 2009. The film is identified in the available reference material as one of the company's notable productions and placed the newly established production banner within the contemporary Hindi-film conversation. Good Bad Films was subsequently associated with Udaan, released in 2010, and Shaitan, released in 2012. These projects reinforced the company's reputation for supporting films outside the most conventional mainstream Bollywood model. The Lunchbox, released in 2013, is also listed among the company's best-known films. Its inclusion in the company's filmography further connected Good Bad Films with Indian cinema that could attract both domestic and international attention while retaining an art-house or new-wave orientation. Across the titles identified by the available sources, the company functioned primarily as a platform for feature-film production rather than as a broad entertainment conglomerate with publicly documented divisions. The available material does not document later corporate developments, additional management appointments, ownership changes, financial results, or a confirmed current operating status. It also does not provide a complete filmography beyond the principal titles named above. Good Bad Films is therefore best understood historically as a Mumbai-based production company founded by Anurag Kashyap and recognized for its contribution to the visibility of contemporary Indian art-house and independent cinema.
