Yash Chopra Remembering The Legend

Yash Raj Chopra (27 September 1932 – 21 October 2012) was an Indian film director, screenwriter and film producer, predominantly working in Hindi cinema and Bollywood. 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). Encouraged by the success of both films, the Chopra brothers made several more movies together during the late fifties and sixties. Chopra then rose to prominence after the commercially and critically successful drama, Waqt (1965), which pioneered the concept of ensemble casts in Bollywood.
