It received highly positive reviews by critics and became the second highest-grossing film of the year. Following Love Aaj Kal, Illuminati Films released its second project, Agent Vinod, an action thriller directed by Sriram Raghavan. Upon release, the film opened to mixed reviews and under-performed at the box office. Homi Adajania's Cocktail, which released on 13 July 2012, marked the production company's third project. The film received positive reviews and was a box office success. As of September, 2014, it was announced that Khan and Vijan had decided to mutually part ways, their last co-production being Raj & DK's Happy Ending.
