The film received widespread critical acclaim, had exceptional music, and was one of the biggest Bollywood hits in the overseas market; however, it was a moderate box-office success in India due to its controversial storyline. The film won five [[Filmfare awards]], including the [[Filmfare Award for Best Film]]. Over the years, ''Lamhe'' has been hailed as a cult classic; it is regarded as a modern masterpiece and possibly his finest film to date. It was featured in ''Outlook'' magazine's list of All-Time Great Indian films.<ref name="Outlook Bollywood's best films">{{cite web|title=Outlook Bollywood's best films|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?220089|publisher=Outlook|access-date=29 October 2012}}</ref> It has been cited by Chopra as his personal favourite of his films.<ref name="10 things you didn't know about Yash Chopra">{{cite news|title=10 things you didn't know about Yash Chopra|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/yashchopratrivia/1/225747.html|access-date=29 October 2012|newspaper=India Today|date=22 October 2012}}</ref> In 1992, Chopra directed [[Parampara (1993 film)|''Parampara'']]. Despite an all-star cast of [[Ramya Krishnan]], [[Aamir Khan]], [[Raveena Tandon]], [[Sunil Dutt]], [[Anupam Kher]], [[Vinod Khanna]], [[Ashwini Bhave]] and [[Saif Ali Khan]] (In his film debut), the film was a commercial failure and was panned by critics for its weak storyline and soundtrack, although Chopra's direction was commended. | ||

The film was a runaway success and is considered a cult classic today. ''Darr'' emerged as one of the highest grossing Hindi films of 1993. It also established Khan as a bankable star. 4 years later, Chopra then directed, produced and co-wrote the highly successful 1997 musical romantic drama ''[[Dil To Pagal Hai]]'',<ref name="The life and times of Yash Chopra" /> starring yet again Shahrukh Khan in a love quadrangle with [[Madhuri Dixit]], [[Karisma Kapoor]] and [[Akshay Kumar]]. It was the first Bollywood film to be shot in [[Germany]]. The film became the highest grosser for the year and won several awards, including 8 [[Filmfare Awards]] and 3 [[National Film Awards]], including the [[National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment]]. Chopra then took a sabbatical from directing and focused solely on producing films for over 7 years. | ||

The film which narrated the love story of an Indian air-force officer Veer Pratap Singh (Khan) and a Pakistani woman, Zaara Hayaat Khan (Zinta) was highly appreciated by critics. Rama Sharma from ''[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]'' wrote: "Giving love its due, Chopra has understandably linked the script to the life of a common man. The pace is exacting. Drawing from the best of the two countries, the story is made more colorful by a spray of the [[Punjab, India|Punjab]]i culture— be it celebrating [[Lohri]] in [[India]] or visiting a [[dargah]] in [[Pakistan]]. He has handled the script cleverly. Whenever the pace begins to slacken, he introduces a new character and a twist." | ||

For the shoot of the last remaining song in ''Jab Tak Hai Jaan,'' director Yash Chopra wanted to shoot a scene with a sari-clad [[Katrina Kaif]] romancing [[Shah Rukh Khan|Shahrukh Khan]] in the lush meadows of the [[Swiss Alps]].

Yash Raj Chopra (27 September 1932 – 21 October 2012)[3] was an Indian film director and film producer who worked in Hindi cinema.[4] The founding chairman of the film production and distribution company Yash Raj Films, Chopra was the recipient of several awards, including 6 National Film Awards and 8 Filmfare Awards.[5] He is considered among the best Indian filmmakers, particularly known and admired for his heroine based romantic films. For his contributions to film, the Government of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001, and the Padma Bhushan in 2005.[6] In 2006, British Academy of Film and Television Arts presented him with a lifetime membership, making him the first Indian to receive the honour.
Chopra began his career as an assistant director to I. S. Johar and his elder brother, B.R. Chopra. He made his directorial debut with Dhool Ka Phool in 1959, a melodrama about illegitimacy, and followed it with the social drama Dharmputra (1961). Chopra rose to prominence after directing the critically and commercially successful family drama Waqt (1965), which pioneered the concept of ensemble casts in Bollywood. In 1970, he founded his own production company, Yash Raj Films, whose first production was Daag: A Poem of Love (1973), a successful melodrama about polygamy. His success continued in the seventies, with some of Indian cinema's most successful and iconic films, including the action-thriller Deewaar (1975), which established Amitabh Bachchan as a leading actor in Bollywood; the ensemble musical romantic drama Kabhi Kabhie (1976) and the ensemble family drama Trishul (1978).
Chopra collaborated with Sridevi in two of what has been considered to be his finest films; the romantic musical Chandni (1989), which became instrumental in ending the era of violent films in Bollywood and rejuvenating the romantic musical genre, and the intergenerational musical romantic drama Lamhe (1991), considered by critics and Chopra himself to be his best work, but underperformed at the domestic box-office, although bringing major profits overseas. After helming the critically-panned Parampara (1993), Chopra directed the musical psychological thriller Darr (1993), the first of his collaborations with Shahrukh Khan. Chopra directed three more romantic films, all starring Khan; Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), before announcing his retirement from direction in 2012. He died of dengue fever during Jab Tak Hai Jaan's production in 2012. He is considered one of the all-time best directors in Bollywood industry.[7]
Early life
Chopra was born on 27 September 1932 in Lahore, Punjab Province, British India into a Punjabi Hindu Khatri family.[8][9][10] His father was an accountant in the PWD division of the British Punjab administration. He was the youngest of eight children,[11] the oldest of whom was almost 30 years his senior. The eminent film-maker B. R. Chopra is one of his brothers.
Chopra was largely brought up in the Lahore house of his second brother, B. R. Chopra, then a film journalist.[12] Chopra lived in Lahore in 1945 to continue his education, where he studied at Doaba College and originally sought to pursue a career in engineering.[13] He later moved to Ludhiana, East Punjab (in India) after the Partition of India.[14][12]
His passion for film-making led him to travel to Bombay, where he initially worked as an assistant director to I. S. Johar, and then for his director-producer brother, B. R. Chopra, while another brother, Dharam Chopra, worked as his cameraman.[8][14]
Career
Early career
Chopra received his first directorial opportunity in 1959 with the social drama Dhool Ka Phool,[12] produced by his elder brother B.R. Chopra and starring Mala Sinha, Rajendra Kumar and Leela Chitnis. The film revolved around a Muslim bringing up an "illegitimate" Hindu child.[8] The film was well received by critics and became the fourth highest-grossing film of the year. Encouraged by their success, the Chopras made another hard-hitting social drama, Dharmputra (1961).[15] It was one of the first films to depict the Partition of India[12] and Hindu fundamentalism. The film marked the debut of Shashi Kapoor in a fully fledged role and was awarded with the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.
Chopra's collaboration with his brother continued in the form of the 1965 film Waqt,[8] which featured an ensemble cast including Sunil Dutt, Raaj Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Sadhana, Balraj Sahni, Madan Puri, Sharmila Tagore, Achala Sachdev and Rehman. The film became a critical and commercial success. It is acknowledged as a "found film" of the "lost-and-found" genre. Setting many other trends, it was one of Indian cinema's first multi-starrers,[8] a mode which became increasingly popular among the producers during the 1970s. It also began the now-obligatory style of depicting wealth and social class. Chopra received his first Filmfare Award for Best Director for the film.
In 1969, Chopra directed two films produced by his brother. The first was Aadmi Aur Insaan,[8] which featured Dharmendra and Saira Banu in the lead roles. He directed Ittefaq (1969),[8] a mystery thriller film based on a Gujarati play, depicting the events of a single night, with Rajesh Khanna and Nanda in the lead roles. Shot in a month and on a low budget, the film was deemed unusual by critics. It was one of the first Hindi films which did not have any songs or an interval. It was eventually declared a semi-hit at the box-office and won Chopra his second Filmfare Award for Best Director.[16]
Formation of Yash Raj Films
In 1970, Chopra founded the independent Yash Raj Films, terminating his creative collaboration with his brother.[5][12] His first independently-produced film, Daag: A Poem of Love (1973),[17] a melodrama about polygamy, starring Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore and Raakhee was a major critical and commercial success and Chopra won his third Filmfare Award for Best Director for the film.
He directed a number of classic cult films starring Amitabh Bachchan and scripted by Salim–Javed, notably Deewaar and Trishul, which were major commercial successes and remain popular even today.[18] These films set the trend for the late-'70s and '80s, establishing Bachchan as the "angry young man". Chopra won his fourth Filmfare Award for Best Director for Deewaar. Chopra produced, directed and scripted 2 more films starring Bachchan. Unlike his earlier action-oriented films, these 2 were musical romantic dramas: Kabhi Kabhie (1976),[5][8] co-starring Raakhee, Shashi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, followed by Silsila (1981),[5] co-starring Jaya Bachchan, Rekha and Sanjeev Kumar. Chopra suggested Javed Akhtar to become a lyricist, starting from this film.[19]
The '80s marked a professional setback in Chopra's career, as several films he directed and produced in that period failed to leave a mark at the Indian box-office. His film Mashaal (1984) was his first collaboration with the legendary actor, Dilip Kumar. The action-oriented film, which was based on the well-known Marathi play titled Ashroonchi Zhali Phule, received critical acclaim, but fared only average at the box-office. A year later, he made Faasle, a romantic drama starring Sunil Dutt, Rekha, Rohan Kapoor and Farah, which proved to be a critical and commercial disaster.[14] He and critics consider it his worst film. Vijay (1988)[8] was also a box-office failure.[14] The film received mixed reviews from critics and was dubbed a remake of Trishul.
Chopra's lean phase ended in 1989 with the highly-successful romantic musical Chandni,[8] a film with all the hallmarks of what has come to be known as the "Yash Chopra style": heroine-oriented, romantic, emotional, depicting the lifestyle of the elite, with melodious music used in songs picturized in foreign locations. It marked the first collaboration between Chopra and Sridevi. The huge success of its soundtrack was instrumental in ending the era of violence in Bollywood films and bringing back music into Hindi films. After a string of critically and commercially movies, the success of Chandni consolidated Sridevi's position as the top female Bollywood star of the era. Though it was not the first time Chopra shot a film in Switzerland, the extensive scenes shot there made it a popular tourist destination for Indians. The film won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment for 1989.[20]
He followed it with Lamhe (1991),[8] an intergenerational musical romantic drama starring frequent collaborators Sridevi and Anil Kapoor. The film received widespread critical acclaim, had exceptional music, and was one of the biggest Bollywood hits in the overseas market; however, it was a moderate box-office success in India due to its controversial storyline. The film won five Filmfare awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Film. Over the years, Lamhe has been hailed as a cult classic; it is regarded as a modern masterpiece and possibly his finest film to date. It was featured in Outlook magazine's list of All-Time Great Indian films.[21] It has been cited by Chopra as his personal favourite of his films.[19] In 1992, Chopra directed Parampara. Despite an all-star cast of Ramya Krishnan, Aamir Khan, Raveena Tandon, Sunil Dutt, Anupam Kher, Vinod Khanna, Ashwini Bhave and Saif Ali Khan (In his film debut), the film was a commercial failure and was panned by critics for its weak storyline and soundtrack, although Chopra's direction was commended.
1993–2012
In 1993, Chopra directed the newcomer Shahrukh Khan along with Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol in the musical psychological thriller Darr.[5][8] The film depicted the story of an obsessed lover (Khan) and the lengths to which he goes to get the girl (Chawla) who is already happily engaged to another man (Deol). The film was a runaway success and is considered a cult classic today. Darr emerged as one of the highest grossing Hindi films of 1993. It also established Khan as a bankable star. 4 years later, Chopra then directed, produced and co-wrote the highly successful 1997 musical romantic drama Dil To Pagal Hai,[8] starring yet again Shahrukh Khan in a love quadrangle with Madhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. It was the first Bollywood film to be shot in Germany. The film became the highest grosser for the year and won several awards, including 8 Filmfare Awards and 3 National Film Awards, including the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. Chopra then took a sabbatical from directing and focused solely on producing films for over 7 years.
In 2004, he returned to direction with the epic love saga Veer-Zaara.[8] Starring Shahrukh Khan again, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji in lead roles, the film was the biggest hit of 2004 in both domestic and overseas markets, with a worldwide gross of over ₹940 million and was screened at the Berlin Film Festival to critical appreciation. The film which narrated the love story of an Indian air-force officer Veer Pratap Singh (Khan) and a Pakistani woman, Zaara Hayaat Khan (Zinta) was highly appreciated by critics. Rama Sharma from The Tribune wrote: "Giving love its due, Chopra has understandably linked the script to the life of a common man. The pace is exacting. Drawing from the best of the two countries, the story is made more colorful by a spray of the Punjabi culture— be it celebrating Lohri in India or visiting a dargah in Pakistan. He has handled the script cleverly. Whenever the pace begins to slacken, he introduces a new character and a twist."
In September 2012, in a special interview with actor Shahrukh Khan on the occasion of his 80th birthday, Chopra announced that Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)[8] would be his last directorial venture and that he would opt to focus on his production company and his personal life. For the shoot of the last remaining song in Jab Tak Hai Jaan, director Yash Chopra wanted to shoot a scene with a sari-clad Katrina Kaif romancing Shahrukh Khan in the lush meadows of the Swiss Alps. But his illness, caused by a bout of dengue, stymied the plan for the song, which would have reflected his trademark directorial style.
Yash Raj Films (YRF) is the most dominant production company in Hindi filmmaking. Yash Raj Chopra has continuously featured in the top five hit Indian movies of the year since 2000. The Indian film director and producer used a range of directors. He repetitively used the star power of Bollywood's most popular actors, Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan.
Yash Raj Films has grown to be the forefront of the global rise of Bollywood cinema. Yash Raj Films have expanded their company from locally based Hindi films to global achievements. They have managed to attract home based and diasporic Indians. Yash Raj Films have used a smart technique by incorporating foreign locations as a site which succeeded.
Frequent collaborations
Chopra was known to often cast the same actors in his films, his most famous collaborations being with Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar, Madan Puri, Amrish Puri, Prem Chopra, Nirupa Roy, Aruna Irani, Bindu, Manmohan Krishna, Poonam Dhillon, Parikshit Sahni, Shashi Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Raakhee, Rajesh Khanna, Sunil Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Hema Malini, Anupam Kher, Iftekhar, Achala Sachdev, Vikas Anand and more recently, Shahrukh Khan.
Personal life
In 1970, Chopra married Pamela Singh and together they have two sons Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra,[8] born in 1971 and 1973, respectively. Aditya Chopra is also a film director and producer and holds the position of chairman and managing director of Yash Raj Films, while Uday is an assistant director turned actor who made his acting debut in 2000 in his brother's directorial, Mohabbatein.[4] He is currently the Director – Yash Raj Films, CEO – YRF Entertainment.

On 13 October 2012, Chopra was diagnosed with dengue fever and was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Bandra, Mumbai.[22][23] On 21 October, Yash Chopra succumbed to death following multiple organ failure. He was 80 years of age.[24][25][26] The Chautha ceremony for Yash Chopra was held on 25 October 2012 at Yash Raj Films studio.[27] Yash Chopra's final rites took place at Pawan Hans crematorium on 22 October 2012.[28]
