🎬 The Real King of Bollywood: T-Series and Bhushan Kumar 🎶
📜 Humble Beginnings:
In the 1970s, Gulshan Kumar, son of a juice seller in Daryaganj, spotted a growing demand for Bollywood music.
Back then, vinyl records were expensive and limited to the wealthy. Gulshan found a clever workaround—he started recording songs onto affordable audio cassettes and selling them at a fraction of the price.
🎤 The Birth of T-Series:
In 1983, Gulshan Kumar founded Super Cassettes Industries and began producing pirated Bollywood music cassettes.
To avoid legal trouble, he leveraged a copyright loophole by producing cover versions of Bollywood songs, giving opportunities to aspiring singers.
📀 Major Milestones:
1988: T-Series produced its first blockbuster soundtrack for Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, selling 80 lakh copies.
1990: The Aashiqui soundtrack became Bollywood’s best-selling album ever, with 2 crore copies sold.
🛕 A Vision Beyond Bollywood:
Gulshan Kumar tapped into the devotional music market, producing songs and videos in multiple Indian languages.
This success laid the foundation for T-Series’ cultural dominance, with Hanuman Chalisa becoming the most-viewed Indian video on YouTube, amassing 4.2 billion views.
💔 A Tragic Loss:
In 1997, Gulshan Kumar was tragically assassinated in Mumbai. His son, Bhushan Kumar, took over T-Series at the age of 19.
📈 Bhushan Kumar’s Digital Empire:
Under Bhushan’s leadership, T-Series became a global sensation: T-Series is the 2nd most-subscribed YouTube channel (28 crore subscribers). It’s also the most-viewed channel globally, with 276 billion views. T-Series now produces movies, TV shows, web series, manages talent, and runs acting schools
