Yash Raj Chopra (27 September 1932 â€" 21 October 2012) was an Indian

director and film producer who worked in Hindi films. The founding

chairman of the film production and distribution company Yash Raj

Films, Chopra was the recipient of several awards, including six

National Film Awards and 11 Filmfare Awards. He is considered among

the best Indian filmmakers. For his contributions to film, the

Government of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in

2001, and the Padma Bhushan in 2005. 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 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 drama Waqt (1965), which pioneered the concept

of ensemble casts in Bollywood. In 1971, 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 romantic drama Kabhie Kabhie (1976) and the

ensemble drama Trishul (1978). This was followed by a period of

professional setback from the late 1970s to 1989.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 returning to

musicals, 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 brought profits

overseas. After helming the critically panned Parampara (1993), Chopra

directed the musical psychological thriller Darr (1993), the first of

his films to star 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 was considered one of the best directors in

Bollywood industry.
