व्यक्तिगत जीवनसंपादित करें
यश चोपड़ा का जन्म 27 सितम्बर 1932 को ब्रिटिश भारत में पंजाब प्रान्त के ऐतिहासिक नगर लाहौर में हुआ था। उनका पूरा नाम यश राज था जिसमें से उन्होंने यश अपना लिया और राज को राज़ ही रहने दिया। यशराज ने बम्बई आकर एक सहायक निर्देशक के रूप में अपना कैरियर शुरू किया। यह काम उन्होंने आई० एस० जौहर के साथ बतौर उनके सहायक बनकर किया था। बाद में उनके बड़े भाई बी० आर० चोपड़ा ने, जो बम्बई में पहले ही से स्थापित हो चुके थे, उन्हें 1959 में अवैध सम्बन्धों के भावों को आगृत करने वाले नाटक पर आधारित फिल्म "धूल का फूल" के निर्देशन के साथ स्वतन्त्र रूप से फिल्मी कैरियर की शुरुआत करने में सहायता की। इसके पश्चात एक अन्य सामाजिक नाटक "धर्मपुत्र" पर आधारित फिल्म का निर्माण 1961 में करके एक और धमाका किया। इन दोनों फिल्मों की सफलता से प्रोत्साहित चोपड़ा भाइयों ने अन्य भी कई फिल्में उन्नीस सौ साठ के दशक में बनायीं। 1965 में "वक़्त" की अपार लोकप्रियता से उत्साहित होकर उन्होंने स्वयं की फिल्म निर्माण कम्पनी "यश राज फिल्म्स" की स्थापना 1973 में कर डाली।
1973 में "दाग" फिल्म बनाने के दो साल बाद ही 1975 में "दीवार", 1976 में "कभी कभी" और 1978 में "त्रिशूल" जैसी फिल्में बनाकर अभिनेता के रूप में उन्होंने अमिताभ बच्चन को बालीवुड में स्थापित किया। 1981 में "सिलसिला", 1984 में "मशाल" और 1988 में बनी "विजय" उनकी यादगार फिल्मों के रूप में चिह्नित हैं। 1989 में उन्होंने वाणिज्यिक और समीक्षकों की दृष्टि में सफल फिल्म "चाँदनी" का निर्माण किया जिसने बॉलीवुड में हिंसा के युग के अन्त और हिन्दी फिल्मों में संगीत की वापसी में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभायी।
1991 में उन्होंने क्लासिकल फिल्म "लम्हे" बनायी जिसे फिल्म जगत के समस्त आलोचकों द्वारा और स्वयं चोपड़ा की दृष्टि में उनके सबसे अच्छे काम के रूप में स्वीकार किया गया। 1993 में नवोदित कलाकार शाहरुख खान को लेकर बनायी गयी फिल्म "डर" ने उनका सारा डर दूर कर दिया। 1997 में "दिल तो पागल है", 2004 में "वीरजारा" और 2012 में "जब तक है जान" का निर्माण करके 2012 में ही उन्होंने फिल्म-निर्देशन से अपने संन्यास की घोषणा भी कर दी थी। चलचित्र निर्माण और वितरण कम्पनी के रूप में यश राज फिल्म्स 2006 से लगातार भारत की सबसे बड़ी फिल्म-कम्पनी है। यही नहीं, यश चोपड़ा जी "यश राज स्टूडियो" के संस्थापक अध्यक्ष के रूप में भी जब तक बालीवुड रहेगा, जाने जायेंगे।
उनका फिल्मी कैरियर पाँच दशकों से भी अधिक का रहा है जिसमें उन्होंने 50 से अधिक फिल्में बालीवुड को दीं। उन्हें हिन्दी सिनेमा के इतिहास में एक ऐसे फिल्म निर्माता के रूप में जाना जाता है जिन्होंने छह बार राष्ट्रीय फ़िल्म पुरस्कार और कुल मिलाकर ग्यारह बार में से चार बार सर्वश्रेष्ठ निर्देशक के लिये फिल्म फेयर पुरस्कार मिला। भारत सरकार ने उन्हें 2001 में दादा साहेब फाल्के पुरस्कार दिया और 2005 में भारतीय सिनेमा के प्रति उनके योगदान के लिए पद्म भूषण से सम्मानित किया।

लम्हा-लम्हा चला किये बस यही सिलसिले।
फूल, धूल की दीवारों पर नये खिले॥
वक्त के त्रिशूलों से पड़ा जब कभी साहस ढीला,
बढ़ा तुरत लेकर मशाल जीवन जोशीला,
कभी-कभी तो इत्तफ़ाक़ से दाग़ भी मिले।
लम्हा-लम्हा चला किये बस यही सिलसिले।।
कभी राह में टकराये जब काले पत्थर,
छोड़ दिया तब परम्परा का सारा ही डर,
कोशिश रण में इतनी, ऐसी ज़ोर की बनी,
मिली विजय फिर बिखर गयी हर जगह चाँदनी,
मिटे आदमी-इंसानों के सभी फ़ासले।
लम्हा-लम्हा चला किये बस यही सिलसिले।।
लम्हा-लम्हा चला किये बस यही सिलसिले...

Encouraged by the success of both films, the Chopra brothers made several more movies together during the late fifties and sixties. Chopra rose to prominence after his commercially and critically successful drama, Waqt (1965), which pioneered the concept of ensemble casts in Bollywood.
In 1971, Chopra founded his own production company, Yash Raj Films, and launched it with Daag (1973), a successful melodrama about a polygamous man. The name Yash Raj was formed with names standing for Yash and Raj his middle name. His success continued in the seventies, with some of Indian cinema's most successful and iconic films, including the action thriller Deewar (1975), which established Amitabh Bachchan as the leading actor in Bollywood; the romantic drama Kabhie Kabhie (1976) and Trishul (1978).
The period from late seventies to 1989 marked a professional setback in Chopra's career; several films he produced or directed in that period failed to leave a mark at the Indian box office, notably Doosra Aadmi (1977), Kaala Pathar (1979), Silsila (1981), Mashaal (1984), Faasle (1985) and Vijay (1988). In 1989, Chopra directed the commercially and critically successful cult film Chandni, which became instrumental in ending the era of violent films in Bollywood and returning to musicals.
Chopra directed and produced the cult classic Lamhe in 1991. Considered by critics and Chopra himself as his best work to date, the film became one of the biggest Bollywood hits in the overseas market, although underperforming at the domestic box office. In 1992 he directed Parampara which was critically panned and was a box office failure. Chopra followed it with the trend setting box office hit Darr (1993). Starring Shah Rukh Khan, it was a sympathetic look at obsessive love and defied the image of the conventional hero. Chopra directed three more romantic films, all starring Khan; Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), before he announced his retirement from directing in 2012.
Chopra founded and was chairman of the motion picture production and distribution company Yash Raj Films, which ranks as India's biggest production company as of 2006, as well as Yash Raj Studios. Chopra's career has spanned more than five decades and 50 films; he is considered one of the leading filmmakers in the history of Hindi cinema. He came to be known as the "King of Romance" of the Indian cinema. Chopra has won several film awards, including six National Film Awards and eleven Filmfare awards, including four Filmfare Best Director awards.[5] The Government of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001 and the Padma Bhushan in 2005[6] for his contributions towards Indian cinema. BAFTA presented him with a lifetime membership for his contribution to films, making him the first Indian to receive the honour.
Early lifeEdit
B. R. Chopra (sitting left) and Yash Chopra attending audio release of Naya Daur. At the start of his career Yash Chopra worked as an assistant director for his director-producer older brother, Baldev Raj Chopra.[7][8]
Chopra was born on 27 September 1932 in Lahore, British India, into a Punjabi Hindu family[7] in British India (now Pakistan).[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 BR Chopra is one of his brothers, and among his sisters is Hiroo Johar, wife of the film maker Yash Johar and mother of Karan Johar.
Chopra was largely brought up in the Lahore house of his second brother, BR Chopra, then a film journalist.[12] Chopra went to Jalandhar in 1945 to continue his education, and studied at Doaba College, Jalandhar.[13] He moved to Ludhiana in Punjab (in India) after the Partition.[8] He originally sought to pursue a career in engineering.[12]
His passion for film-making led him to travel to Bombay (now Mumbai), where he initially worked as an assistant director to I. S. Johar, and then for his director-producer brother, Baldev Raj Chopra.[7][8]
Early careerEdit
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.[7] 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).[14] 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. Theatrical screenings of the film were disrupted by violent demonstrations in response to its raw depiction of the partition riots and related sloganeering and hence became a box office flop. Chopra avoided making political films after that.
Chopra's collaboration with his brother continued in the form of the 1965 film Waqt,[7] 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 commercial and a critical 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,[7] 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 Best Director Award for the film.
In 1969, Chopra directed two movies produced by his brother. The first was Aadmi Aur Insaan,[7] the Chopra film to feature Dharmendra in the lead. It was an average grosser. He directed Ittefaq (1969),[7] a suspense movie based on a Gujarati play, depicting the events of a single night, with Rajesh Khanna in the lead role. Shot in a month and on a low budget, the film was deemed unusual by critics. It one of the first Hindi films which did not have any songs or an interval. It was eventually declared a semi-hit[15] at the box office and won Chopra another Filmfare award for best director.
Formation of Yash Raj FilmsEdit
Amitabh Bachchan (left) and Yash Chopra in the premiere of Paa Chopra made a number of classic cult films starring Amitabh Bachchan.[7] Chopra's Deewar gave Amitabh Bachchan the tag "Angry Young Man".[16]
In 1971, 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 a man with two wives, with Rajesh Khanna in the lead role, was a great 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 great hits and remain popular even today.[16] These films set the trend for the late 70s and 80s, establishing Bachchan as the "angry young man". Chopra won another Filmfare Best Director Award for Deewaar. Chopra produced, directed and scripted two more films starring Bachchan. Unlike his earlier action-oriented films, these two were romantic dramas: Kabhi Kabhie (1976)[5][7] followed by Silsila (1981).[5] Yash Chopra suggested Javed Akhtar to become a lyricist, starting from this film.[18]
The eighties 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, won critical acclaim, but fared only average at the box office. A year later, he made Faasle. The romantic drama starring Sunil Dutt, Rekha, Rohan Kapoor and Farah was a critical and commercial failure.[8] He and critics consider it his worst film. Vijay (1988)[7] was also a box office failure.[8] 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 cult classic Chandni,[7] 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 super elite, with melodic music used in songs picturised in foreign locations. It marked the first collaboration between the filmmaker and the established heroine, Sridevi. The huge success of its music was instrumental in ending the era of violence in Bollywood films and bringing back music into Hindi films. It also reaffirmed Sridevi's position as the top female star of the Eighties. 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 of that year.[19]
He followed it with Lamhe (1991),[7] starring frequent collaborators Anil Kapoor and Sridevi. The film was critically acclaimed, had exceptional music, and was one of the biggest Bollywood hits in the overseas market. But it was not a box office success in India. The film won five Filmfare awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Movie. Over the years the film 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.[20] It has been cited by Chopra as his personal favourite of his films.[18] 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 flop and was panned by critics for its weak storyline, music and direction.
1993–2012Edit
Yash Chopra and Shahrukh Khan (left). Chopra was responsible for shaping Khan's career.[5]
In 1993, Yash Chopra directed the newcomer Shah Rukh Khan along with Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol in the musical thriller Darr.[5][7] The movie was 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. It also established Khan as a bankable star. Four years later, Chopra then directed, produced and co-wrote the highly successful 1997 musical romantic drama Dil To Pagal Hai,[7] starring yet again Shahrukh Khan in a love triangle with Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor. It also starred Akshay Kumar in a extended guest appearance. It was the first Bollywood movie to be shot in Germany. The film became the second highest grosser for the year. It won many awards, including seven Filmfare Awards and three National Awards, notably for Best Film, providing popular and wholesome entertainment yet again. Chopra then took a sabbatical from directing and focused solely on producing films for over eight years.
In 2004, he returned to direction with the love saga Veer-Zaara.[7] Starring Shahrukh Khan again, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji in the leading roles, the film was the biggest hit of 2004 in both India and overseas, 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 appreciated by critics. Rama Sharma from The Tribune wrote: "Giving love its due, Yash 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 colourful 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 eightieth birthday, Chopra announced that Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)[7] 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 of a sari-clad Katrina Kaif romancing Shah Rukh 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. Chopra's trip to Switzerland with Shahrukh and Katrina had to be cancelled after his death.
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 Shah Rukh Khan.
Yash Raj Films is a highlight of India’s post-colonial identity. It 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 collaborationsEdit
Chopra was known to often cast the same actors in his films, his most famous collaborations being with Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Raakhee, Waheeda Rehman and more recently, Shah Rukh Khan.
Personal lifeEdit
In 1970, Chopra married Pamela Singh and together they have two sons Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra,[7] born in 1971 and 1973, respectively. Aditya is also a film director and producer and held the position of vice-chairman and general manager of Yash Raj Films, while Uday is an assistant director turned actor who made his acting debut in 2000 in his brother's film, Mohabbatein.[21]
DeathEdit
Yash Chopra died of Dengue Fever on 21 October 2012.

व्यक्तिगत जीवनसंपादित करें
यश चोपड़ा का जन्म 27 सितम्बर 1932 को ब्रिटिश भारत में पंजाब प्रान्त के ऐतिहासिक नगर लाहौर में हुआ था। उनका पूरा नाम यश राज था जिसमें से उन्होंने यश अपना लिया और राज को राज़ ही रहने दिया। यशराज ने बम्बई आकर एक सहायक निर्देशक के रूप में अपना कैरियर शुरू किया। यह काम उन्होंने आई० एस० जौहर के साथ बतौर उनके सहायक बनकर किया था। बाद में उनके बड़े भाई बी० आर० चोपड़ा ने, जो बम्बई में पहले ही से स्थापित हो चुके थे, उन्हें 1959 में अवैध सम्बन्धों के भावों को आगृत करने वाले नाटक पर आधारित फिल्म "धूल का फूल" के निर्देशन के साथ स्वतन्त्र रूप से फिल्मी कैरियर की शुरुआत करने में सहायता की। इसके पश्चात एक अन्य सामाजिक नाटक "धर्मपुत्र" पर आधारित फिल्म का निर्माण 1961 में करके एक और धमाका किया। इन दोनों फिल्मों की सफलता से प्रोत्साहित चोपड़ा भाइयों ने अन्य भी कई फिल्में उन्नीस सौ साठ के दशक में बनायीं। 1965 में "वक़्त" की अपार लोकप्रियता से उत्साहित होकर उन्होंने स्वयं की फिल्म निर्माण कम्पनी "यश राज फिल्म्स" की स्थापना 1973 में कर डाली।
1973 में "दाग" फिल्म बनाने के दो साल बाद ही 1975 में "दीवार", 1976 में "कभी कभी" और 1978 में "त्रिशूल" जैसी फिल्में बनाकर अभिनेता के रूप में उन्होंने अमिताभ बच्चन को बालीवुड में स्थापित किया। 1981 में "सिलसिला", 1984 में "मशाल" और 1988 में बनी "विजय" उनकी यादगार फिल्मों के रूप में चिह्नित हैं। 1989 में उन्होंने वाणिज्यिक और समीक्षकों की दृष्टि में सफल फिल्म "चाँदनी" का निर्माण किया जिसने बॉलीवुड में हिंसा के युग के अन्त और हिन्दी फिल्मों में संगीत की वापसी में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभायी।
1991 में उन्होंने क्लासिकल फिल्म "लम्हे" बनायी जिसे फिल्म जगत के समस्त आलोचकों द्वारा और स्वयं चोपड़ा की दृष्टि में उनके सबसे अच्छे काम के रूप में स्वीकार किया गया। 1993 में नवोदित कलाकार शाहरुख खान को लेकर बनायी गयी फिल्म "डर" ने उनका सारा डर दूर कर दिया। 1997 में "दिल तो पागल है", 2004 में "वीरजारा" और 2012 में "जब तक है जान" का निर्माण करके 2012 में ही उन्होंने फिल्म-निर्देशन से अपने संन्यास की घोषणा भी कर दी थी। चलचित्र निर्माण और वितरण कम्पनी के रूप में यश राज फिल्म्स 2006 से लगातार भारत की सबसे बड़ी फिल्म-कम्पनी है। यही नहीं, यश चोपड़ा जी "यश राज स्टूडियो" के संस्थापक अध्यक्ष के रूप में भी जब तक बालीवुड रहेगा, जाने जायेंगे।
उनका फिल्मी कैरियर पाँच दशकों से भी अधिक का रहा है जिसमें उन्होंने 50 से अधिक फिल्में बालीवुड को दीं। उन्हें हिन्दी सिनेमा के इतिहास में एक ऐसे फिल्म निर्माता के रूप में जाना जाता है जिन्होंने छह बार राष्ट्रीय फ़िल्म पुरस्कार और कुल मिलाकर ग्यारह बार में से चार बार सर्वश्रेष्ठ निर्देशक के लिये फिल्म फेयर पुरस्कार मिला। भारत सरकार ने उन्हें 2001 में दादा साहेब फाल्के पुरस्कार दिया और 2005 में भारतीय सिनेमा के प्रति उनके योगदान के लिए पद्म भूषण से सम्मानित किया।

फूल, धूल की दीवारों पर नये खिले॥
वक्त के त्रिशूलों से पड़ा जब कभी साहस ढीला,
बढ़ा तुरत लेकर मशाल जीवन जोशीला,
कभी-कभी तो इत्तफ़ाक़ से दाग़ भी मिले।
लम्हा-लम्हा चला किये बस यही सिलसिले।।
कभी राह में टकराये जब काले पत्थर,
छोड़ दिया तब परम्परा का सारा ही डर,
कोशिश रण में इतनी, ऐसी ज़ोर की बनी,
मिली विजय फिर बिखर गयी हर जगह चाँदनी,
मिटे आदमी-इंसानों के सभी फ़ासले।

Yash Raj Chopra (27 September 1932 – 21 October 2012)[3] was an Indian film director and film producer, predominantly working in Hindi cinema.[4] Yash Chopra began his career as an assistant director to I. S. Johar and 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).

Encouraged by the success of both films, the Chopra brothers made several more movies together during the late fifties and sixties. Chopra rose to prominence after his commercially and critically successful drama, Waqt (1965), which pioneered the concept of ensemble casts in Bollywood.
In 1971, Chopra founded his own production company, Yash Raj Films, and launched it with Daag (1973), a successful melodrama about a polygamous man. The name Yash Raj was formed with names standing for Yash and Raj his middle name. His success continued in the seventies, with some of Indian cinema's most successful and iconic films, including the action thriller Deewar (1975), which established Amitabh Bachchan as the leading actor in Bollywood; the romantic drama Kabhie Kabhie (1976) and Trishul (1978).
The period from late seventies to 1989 marked a professional setback in Chopra's career; several films he produced or directed in that period failed to leave a mark at the Indian box office, notably Doosra Aadmi (1977), Kaala Pathar (1979), Silsila (1981), Mashaal (1984), Faasle (1985) and Vijay (1988). In 1989, Chopra directed the commercially and critically successful cult film Chandni, which became instrumental in ending the era of violent films in Bollywood and returning to musicals.
Chopra directed and produced the cult classic Lamhe in 1991. Considered by critics and Chopra himself as his best work to date, the film became one of the biggest Bollywood hits in the overseas market, although underperforming at the domestic box office. In 1992 he directed Parampara which was critically panned and was a box office failure. Chopra followed it with the trend setting box office hit Darr (1993). Starring Shah Rukh Khan, it was a sympathetic look at obsessive love and defied the image of the conventional hero. Chopra directed three more romantic films, all starring Khan; Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012), before he announced his retirement from directing in 2012.
Chopra founded and was chairman of the motion picture production and distribution company Yash Raj Films, which ranks as India's biggest production company as of 2006, as well as Yash Raj Studios. Chopra's career has spanned more than five decades and 50 films; he is considered one of the leading filmmakers in the history of Hindi cinema. He came to be known as the "King of Romance" of the Indian cinema. Chopra has won several film awards, including six National Film Awards and eleven Filmfare awards, including four Filmfare Best Director awards.[5] The Government of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001 and the Padma Bhushan in 2005[6] for his contributions towards Indian cinema. BAFTA presented him with a lifetime membership for his contribution to films, making him the first Indian to receive the honour.
Early lifeEdit
B. R. Chopra (sitting left) and Yash Chopra attending audio release of Naya Daur. At the start of his career Yash Chopra worked as an assistant director for his director-producer older brother, Baldev Raj Chopra.[7][8]
Chopra was born on 27 September 1932 in Lahore, British India, into a Punjabi Hindu family[7] in British India (now Pakistan).[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 BR Chopra is one of his brothers, and among his sisters is Hiroo Johar, wife of the film maker Yash Johar and mother of Karan Johar.
Chopra was largely brought up in the Lahore house of his second brother, BR Chopra, then a film journalist.[12] Chopra went to Jalandhar in 1945 to continue his education, and studied at Doaba College, Jalandhar.[13] He moved to Ludhiana in Punjab (in India) after the Partition.[8] He originally sought to pursue a career in engineering.[12]
His passion for film-making led him to travel to Bombay (now Mumbai), where he initially worked as an assistant director to I. S. Johar, and then for his director-producer brother, Baldev Raj Chopra.[7][8]
Early careerEdit
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.[7] 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).[14] 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. Theatrical screenings of the film were disrupted by violent demonstrations in response to its raw depiction of the partition riots and related sloganeering and hence became a box office flop. Chopra avoided making political films after that.
Chopra's collaboration with his brother continued in the form of the 1965 film Waqt,[7] 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 commercial and a critical 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,[7] 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 Best Director Award for the film.
In 1969, Chopra directed two movies produced by his brother. The first was Aadmi Aur Insaan,[7] the Chopra film to feature Dharmendra in the lead. It was an average grosser. He directed Ittefaq (1969),[7] a suspense movie based on a Gujarati play, depicting the events of a single night, with Rajesh Khanna in the lead role. Shot in a month and on a low budget, the film was deemed unusual by critics. It one of the first Hindi films which did not have any songs or an interval. It was eventually declared a semi-hit[15] at the box office and won Chopra another Filmfare award for best director.
Formation of Yash Raj FilmsEdit
Amitabh Bachchan (left) and Yash Chopra in the premiere of Paa Chopra made a number of classic cult films starring Amitabh Bachchan.[7] Chopra's Deewar gave Amitabh Bachchan the tag "Angry Young Man".[16]
In 1971, 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 a man with two wives, with Rajesh Khanna in the lead role, was a great 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 great hits and remain popular even today.[16] These films set the trend for the late 70s and 80s, establishing Bachchan as the "angry young man". Chopra won another Filmfare Best Director Award for Deewaar. Chopra produced, directed and scripted two more films starring Bachchan. Unlike his earlier action-oriented films, these two were romantic dramas: Kabhi Kabhie (1976)[5][7] followed by Silsila (1981).[5] Yash Chopra suggested Javed Akhtar to become a lyricist, starting from this film.[18]
The eighties 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, won critical acclaim, but fared only average at the box office. A year later, he made Faasle. The romantic drama starring Sunil Dutt, Rekha, Rohan Kapoor and Farah was a critical and commercial failure.[8] He and critics consider it his worst film. Vijay (1988)[7] was also a box office failure.[8] 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 cult classic Chandni,[7] 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 super elite, with melodic music used in songs picturised in foreign locations. It marked the first collaboration between the filmmaker and the established heroine, Sridevi. The huge success of its music was instrumental in ending the era of violence in Bollywood films and bringing back music into Hindi films. It also reaffirmed Sridevi's position as the top female star of the Eighties. 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 of that year.[19]
He followed it with Lamhe (1991),[7] starring frequent collaborators Anil Kapoor and Sridevi. The film was critically acclaimed, had exceptional music, and was one of the biggest Bollywood hits in the overseas market. But it was not a box office success in India. The film won five Filmfare awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Movie. Over the years the film 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.[20] It has been cited by Chopra as his personal favourite of his films.[18] 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 flop and was panned by critics for its weak storyline, music and direction.
1993–2012Edit
Yash Chopra and Shahrukh Khan (left). Chopra was responsible for shaping Khan's career.[5]
In 1993, Yash Chopra directed the newcomer Shah Rukh Khan along with Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol in the musical thriller Darr.[5][7] The movie was 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. It also established Khan as a bankable star. Four years later, Chopra then directed, produced and co-wrote the highly successful 1997 musical romantic drama Dil To Pagal Hai,[7] starring yet again Shahrukh Khan in a love triangle with Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor. It also starred Akshay Kumar in a extended guest appearance. It was the first Bollywood movie to be shot in Germany. The film became the second highest grosser for the year. It won many awards, including seven Filmfare Awards and three National Awards, notably for Best Film, providing popular and wholesome entertainment yet again. Chopra then took a sabbatical from directing and focused solely on producing films for over eight years.
In 2004, he returned to direction with the love saga Veer-Zaara.[7] Starring Shahrukh Khan again, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji in the leading roles, the film was the biggest hit of 2004 in both India and overseas, 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 appreciated by critics. Rama Sharma from The Tribune wrote: "Giving love its due, Yash 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 colourful 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 eightieth birthday, Chopra announced that Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)[7] 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 of a sari-clad Katrina Kaif romancing Shah Rukh 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. Chopra's trip to Switzerland with Shahrukh and Katrina had to be cancelled after his death.
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 Shah Rukh Khan.
Yash Raj Films is a highlight of India’s post-colonial identity. It 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 collaborationsEdit
Chopra was known to often cast the same actors in his films, his most famous collaborations being with Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Raakhee, Waheeda Rehman and more recently, Shah Rukh Khan.
Personal lifeEdit
In 1970, Chopra married Pamela Singh and together they have two sons Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra,[7] born in 1971 and 1973, respectively. Aditya is also a film director and producer and held the position of vice-chairman and general manager of Yash Raj Films, while Uday is an assistant director turned actor who made his acting debut in 2000 in his brother's film, Mohabbatein.[21]
DeathEdit
Yash Chopra died of Dengue Fever on 21 October 2012.
