Timeline

1932

Yash Chopra was born in Lahore in 1932, to an accountant in the PWD division of the British Punjab administration, the youngest of eight children. He began as an assistant director to I. S. Johar before working with his elder brother, the legendary B. R. Chopra; while another brother, Dharam Chopra, worked as his cameraman.

1950

One of the few remaining commercial Indian directors who started their careers in the 1950s, he has successfully moved with the times from the socially significant Dhool Ka Phool (1959) to the young and cool Dil To Pagal Hai (1997).

1959

He was given his first directorial opportunity with Dhool Ka Phool (1959), a melodrama about illegitimacy; it became a hit and even now remains popular today.

1965

Encouraged by this success, the Chopra brothers made a few more movies together, the most notable being Waqt (1965), India's first multi-starrer; and Ittefaq (1969), a thriller.

1970

On the personal front, Chopra married Pamela Chopra (née Singh) in 1970, and they had two children, Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra, both working in the film industry today.

These movies set the standard for the 1970s and 1980s, establishing Bachchan as the greatest and most beloved Indian film star of all time. His respective roles--a bitter criminal and a sensitive, brooding poet--are considered to be his greatest performances, although complete opposites of each other.

1973

In 1973, the Chopra brothers separated, with Yash Chopra founded his studio, Yash Raj Films, and launched it with Daag (1973), a successful melodrama about a polygamous man.

1975

Labeled the eternal romantic and with one of the best musical senses in the business, Yash Chopra is arguably India's most successful director of romantic films. Although he made action-oriented films like the ever-popular Deewaar (1975), it is in tackling love and its various aspects that he has been at his best.

He then entered one of his best phases with two Amitabh Bachchan classics: Deewaar (1975) and Sometimes (1976).

1980

In the 1980s, Chopra went through a rough time.

1981

Two of his melodramas, Series of Events (1981) and Faasle (1985); and two action-oriented films, Mashaal (1984) and Vijay (1988), flopped at the box office, although the latter became a critically acclaimed classic years later.

1983

Yash Chopra had planned a big budget African film in 1983. This was even before he started shooting for Mashaal. He signed Dilip Kumar,Sunny Deol and Anil Kapoor. The project was going to on the level of Hollywood. Yash Chopra had to shelve the film due to the government not giving him the required permission needed.

1986

In 1986, Yash Chopra was planning on producing a television serial titled Khazana. He wanted Moushami Chatterji for it. The plans were eventually dropped.

1989

However, he made a comeback with his musical love triangle Chandni (1989). The film was a huge success, with great performances by established heroine Sridevi and action hero Vinod Khanna.

1990

Gulshan Kumar had launched a film titled " Mohabbatien" in the 1990's. This was to be directed by Yash Chopra. The film was eventually shelved.

1991

Then came what critics and Chopra himself considered his best film, Lamhe (1991), a beautiful film about cross-generational love. It couldn't survive the box office, however, due to its incestuous nature.

1993

Tradition (1993), done for an outside producer, was a misfire, but then came the box-office hit and trend setter Darr (1993). Starring the then-débutant Shah Rukh Khan, it showed a sympathetic look at obsessive love and an emotion often overlooked in love--fear--and its success catapulted Khan to super-stardom.

1995

In 1995, Chopra turned to production and Aditya Chopra made his directorial debut with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), which had the longest-running initial release in cinema history.

1997

He directed one more film, Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), a love story set against the theater, which became a huge success and a cult hit, before he retired from directing.

2000

Brother in law Gava produced the film Karobaar in 2000.

2006

Member of jury at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2006.
