On Yash Chopra birth anniversary 9 films that prove he wasn't just the king of romance
Wednesday, September 27, 2017 IST
Think of Yash Chopra and what is the first thought that pops in your mind? That he was the King of Romance whose films will have the lead pair romancing, more often than not, on snow-covered Alps in chiffon. His films married tradition and the young love to establish a veritable genre.
Today on Chopra’s birth anniversary, dear Millennials, meet the edgy Chopra who flirted with social dramas and thrillers and even helped establish our angry young man, Amitabh Bachchan, via a path-breaking film called Deewar. Bachchan may have earned the tag after Zanjeer but Dewar remains an integral, and celebrated, part of his journey.
On the dream filmmaker’s 85th birth anniversary on Wednesday, we revisit seven of his films that show us he was so much more than the romances that are a part of every Indians growing-up ritual.
