Printer friendly Godfather of Indian films Author: Karin Bergquist Yash Chopra is the godfather of Indian film-industry
He is the only director of the older brigade of filmmakers who has successfully moved with the times right from his first film Dhool ka Phool (1959) to his latest film Dil to Paagal Hai (1997)
Though Yash Chopra has done films of various sorts, it is when he is tackling love and its various elements that he has been at his best
His picturesque, poetic images often shot in Switzerland with melodious music (He has perhaps the best musical sense of all filmmakers in the Hindi Film Industry today) are charged with rich feeling, and in spite of all the gloss on screen, his films are more about life than lifestyle
With 40 years in the film making industry, Yash Chopra has carved a distinct identity for himself and the films he directs
Chopra of the TV serial 'Mahabharat' fame, Yash Chopra soon started off under his own banner 'Yash Raj Films' in 1970

The filmmaker talks about he future of Indian cinema.
Search the Internet Sites: , Yash Chopra ready to roll The filmmaker's new directorial venture begins August Subhash K Jha Y ash Chopra is perhaps the longest lasting, most successful Hindi filmmaker
Having made an astonishing gallery of films, he has lately steered away from direction to allow his son Aditya Chopra to direct Mohabbatein , the first Yash Chopra production of the new millennium
Now, Chopra is all set to direct his new film
But now I am ready to go on the floors.' For now, Chopra is unwilling to divulge more about his new film except that it will not be a high budget venture
My film will be aesthetic
As a filmmaker it is my duty to provide healthy entertainment to people
I want to make films that the entire family can watch together without flinching.' Yash Chopra has defined quality mainstream moviemaking since the 1950s
He directed socially conscious, pathbreaking films like Dhool Ka Phool and Dharamputra early in his career
Son Aditya helmed the two blockbusters Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Mohabbatein , thus taking the Yash Raj Films banner, founded in 1973 when Yash Chopra broke away from his brother, the illustrious B R Chopra, to a new point

Three major films released that year --- Kaagaz Ke Phool , Guru Dutt's semi-autobiographical work, critically acclaimed but a box-office failure; Apur Sansar , Satyajit Ray's last installment in the Apu trilogy; and Sujata , Bimal Roy's classic melodrama about a love affair between an upper caste Hindu and an untouchable woman
Two years earlier, Mehboob Khan's Mother India was nominated for the best foreign language film Oscar
In 1959, a young assistant director in the Mumbai film industry decided to step out of his elder brother's shadow and establish himself as a filmmaker
His first film, a social melodrama, Dhool Ka Phool , starring evergreen hero Rajendra Kumar with Mala Sinha, Nanda and Ashok Kumar, was a story about an illegitimate child trying to reclaim his history
The film was also a call for communal harmony (one of its hit songs is Mohammed Rafi's Tu hindu banega na Musalman banega ), an issue of great importance to a young nation, which had witnessed its worst-ever religious strife only 12 years before

, 21 March 2003 Author: from Lexington KY Thinking back, I suppose I have now seen many (sometimes good) films that follow the same recipe: One man makes a difference
But this film is an exception in so many ways: 1) It was made in 1982, so it came before many of them
This film does not bother the viewer with an opening montage of scenes of the main character at various ages ("Dragon", I'm looking at you)
This is an amazing film that anyone of any religion, race, or nationality can and should appreciate
Watch this film and see great performances (an obvious oscar went to Ben Kingsly), excellent cinematography, and a wonderful inspiring story, whose essence soars well above the corny, do-gooder mentality of other pitiful efforts of "bio-pics"

I cry when I see poignant films made by other directors.' Born in Jullunder, Punjab Yash Chopra began as an assistant director to I.S
(Wherein the old Muslim man bringing up the boy tells him not to adhere to any religion in the song Na Hindu Banega, Na Musalman Banega, Insaan ki Aulad Hai, Insaan Banega .) The film was a major success and took Mala Sinha to dramatic star status

Mukesh
Information on his songs, film music and history.
The first person to notice Mukesh from the Film Industry was the actor Motilal
Mukesh even did a Hindi Film during this period as hero, Nirdosh (1941) but it flopped miserably
His first real break in films as a singer came in 1945 under the baton of Anil Biswas in the film Pehli Nazar (1945)
The partnership with Raj Kapoor started with Aag (1948) where Raj's feelings of despondency and despair were vividly caught by Mukesh in Ram Ganguly's composition Zinda Hoon Is Tarah , and ended with Ek Din Bik Jaayega in the film Dharam Karam (1975)

I also worked for a while before films happened
So when did the acting bug bite you? It was in the back of mind to be in films since I was a little girl
It was at that time that Vinod Khanna came to London with this competition thing looking for a debutante for his film
I thought to myself that if the movie would take up one year, as the original plan was then I would have enough time to test waters in the film industry
But I must admit that when I came to India to do films, obviously then I began to take in the lifestyle that is very different from what I had been used to
One was that I had come for a film
What was your family's reaction when you announced about your plans to join films
Your next film 'Betaabi' didn't do too well? Ya
According to the contract, I was not allowed to sign any new films until 'Himalayputra', which was a disadvantage of sorts because if I were working on in other films as well, I would have had better experience at choosing good scripts
But in that film, I was freer than Himalayputra
I had a lot of fun in that film

So whatever I am doing I'm not creating a new style of filmmaking
