That ‘70s Show
Yash Chopra
It’s
surprising that in the age of Twitterati and fashion blogs, the
e-generation considers the Punjabi-at-heart and old-world wonder Yash
Chopra as the master of the trade. He’s the reason why a million Indian
couples dream about honeymooning in Switzerland. He sold the ultimate
Swiss dream to Indian cinema buffs. Yashji was a Kashmir aficionado but
thanks to political circumstances, our own heaven on earth became
inaccessible. So the enterprising showman chose the next best thing on
the globe. And the big immigration of Indian filmmakers to the Alps
began. Why is this piece of film lore important? Because it applauds the
vision and enterprise of one of our favourite filmmakers. Chart-topping
music, coupled with haute couture adds an enviable commercial value to
his cinema. Whether it’s chiffon sarees from Silsila or designer dresses
from Chandni, he knows the value of starting a trend. He might be the
king of romance but some of his best efforts include gangster dramas
like Deewaar and Trishul. No wonder Yash Chopra is the baap of Indian
directors.
Yashji has directed 21 films in a career spanning five decades. And all those films put together have won an unprecedented total of 46 Filmfare Awards! It’s been seven years since he directed a film. But breaking news is that Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif feature in his comeback film.
