[4] Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd. was founded on 29 October 1962 as a book-circulating library by the Maroo brothers (Buddhichand, Atul and Raman) in collaboration with Gangajibhai Shethias.
It airs Marathi movies like Aapla Manus, Thackeray, Bhai Vyakti Ki Valli, Judgement, Cycle, Ani Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar, etc.
[9] In May 2020, a video surfaced where the comedian Surleen Kaur made a remark about Krishna, a Hindu deity, which right-leaning media houses and political parties objected to.
Following the controversy, Shemaroo announced their decision to refrain from any further involvement with Surleen Kaur and Balraj Syal because they 'failed to meet their standards of public decency'.
Subsequently, ISKCON lodged a complaint against Kaur and Shemaroo with the Mumbai Police for insulting the organisation and Hindus.
The company has partnered with Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, MTN, Ooredoo and Etisalat to distribute content like videos, music and live streaming via MVAS.

ShemarooMe has also inked a strategic partnership with BookMyShow, India's leading entertainment destination, to ensure more cine-goers have access to the content.
