Aamir Khan Productions is an Indian motion picture production and distribution company, based in Mumbai. The company was founded in 2001 by actor Aamir Khan. The company has produced three films so far, all of which succeeded commercially and critically.

Aamir Khan Productions's first film was Lagaan. The movie was released in 2001, starring Khan as the lead actor. The film was both a major critical and commercial success, and was selected as India's official entry to the 74th Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category. It was eventually chosen and nominated in that category along with four other foreign films but lost to No Man's Land. The film won many major awards at several award functions such as Filmfare and IIFA.

Taare Zameen Par is a 2007 film directed by Aamir Khan. Khan also stars in the film, sharing the screen with the debut of child actor Darsheel Safary. The film was initially conceived of and developed by the husband and wife team, Amole Gupte and Deepa Bhatia. It tells the story of a young child who suffers in school until a teacher identifies him as dyslexic. The movie was critically acclaimed,[1] as well as a major box office success. Taare Zameen Par won the 2008 Filmfare Best Movie Award as well as a number of other Filmfare and Star Screen Awards. It was declared tax free by the Government of Delhi.[2]
