Yash Chopra is arguably India's most successful director of commercial films. His position in the Hindi film industry is unique. Yash Chopra has been at the top of his profession for forty years. No other director of his generation has manifested such creative and box-office staying-power; indeed the careers of most directors of popular Hindi films rarely last more than a decade. He is also one of the richest and most powerful producers in Mumbai, now financing his films from his own pocket and arranging some of his own distribution both in India and overseas. His position was enhanced recently by his production, directed by his elder son, Aditya Chopra, of one of the greatest commercial successes in Indian film history, Dilwale dulhania le jayenge ('The brave heart will take the bride', 1995).
Yash Chopra was born in 1932 in Lahore, to an accountant in the PWD of the British administration in Punjab. The youngest of eight children, the oldest of whom was almost 30 years his senior, he was largely brought up in the Lahore house of his second brother, BR Chopra, then a film journalist, but subsequently one of India's great movie moghuls, known for his films on social topics, and later maker of the record-breaking TV serial, Mahabharata. Yash Chopra went to Jullunder in 1945 to continue his education while BR stayed on in Lahore, migrating to Bombay just weeks before partition in August 1947. A large part of the Lahore-based Punjabi film industry also migrated and BR used his contacts among these people to set himself up as a leading director in Bombay and soon became an independent producer. He made some of the great classics of the Indian cinema, including Ek Hi Raasta, Naya Daur and Sadhana among others. He is known to a younger generation as the maker of the TV serialisation of the Mahabharata, whose place in the history of television is assured. Yash Chopra soon joined him and worked as his assistant, while another brother, Dharam Chopra, worked as his cameraman.
