Remembering #YashChopra, the legendary filmmaker, on his 12th death anniversary (21/10/12).

Yash Raj Chopra (27 September 1932 – 21 October 2012) was a distinguished Indian film director and producer in Hindi cinema. He was the visionary founder and chairman of the film production and distribution powerhouse Yash Raj Films. His illustrious career earned him numerous accolades, including 6 National Film Awards and 8 Filmfare Awards, marking him as one of the paramount filmmakers in Hindi cinema, especially revered for his romantic narratives with compelling female protagonists. His remarkable contributions to the film industry were recognized by the Government of India with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001 and the Padma Bhushan in 2005. Further, in 2006, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts gave him a lifetime membership, a first for an Indian.

Chopra's cinematic journey commenced as an assistant director to I. S. Johar and his elder brother, B.R. Chopra. He debuted as a director with Dhool Ka Phool in 1959, a melodrama exploring illegitimacy, followed by the social drama Dharmputra (1961). His directorial finesse gained prominence with the critically and commercially acclaimed family drama Waqt (1965), which introduced the trend of ensemble casts in Bollywood. In 1970, he launched his own production entity, Yash Raj Films, with its maiden venture being Daag: A Poem of Love (1973), a melodrama delving into polygamy, which garnered success. His winning streak continued through the seventies with iconic films like the action-thriller Deewaar (1975), which catapulted Amitabh Bachchan to stardom; the musical romantic drama Kabhi Kabhie (1976), and the ensemble family drama Trishul (1978). Chopra crafted two of his magnum opuses with Sridevi: the romantic musical Chandni (1989), which played a pivotal role in veering Bollywood away from violent themes towards romantic musicals, and Lamhe (1991), an intergenerational romantic drama, which, despite underperforming domestically, enjoyed overseas success.

Following the critically lacking Parampara (1993), he helmed the musical psychological thriller Darr (1993), marking the onset of his collaborative journey with Shahrukh Khan. This partnership flourished with romantic hits like Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004), and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012). Although he announced his retirement in 2012, his dedication saw him working until his demise during the production of Jab Tak Hai Jaan due to dengue fever. Yash Raj Chopra's directorial legacy, embodied in his extensive work, cements his position as one of Bollywood's timeless directors.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan, 2012

Liked this one better the second time around, though I still think it has a lot of problems. The worst being SRK has zero chemistry with either of the female leads.

Enjoyed SRK's take on a bomb disposal expert, but I feel like this is the third or fourth movie I've seen him hit by cars. His characters really need to watch where they are going.

★ Top Laxmi Pooja Day Box Office: Salman Khan looks to do the unthinkable with Tiger 3; Eyes Diwali Day record!

Nov 5, 2023

The Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-led Tiger 3 is set to be the first event spectacle in the last 10 years to see a theatrical release on the day of Diwali. The decision has been strategically taken by YRF with the hope of getting a strong word of mouth in place before getting into the extended holiday period from Monday. Historically, Diwali Day has proved to be a weak day for the box office with Laxmi Pooja impacting the business prospects after the noon shows in North India.

Tiger 3 is ready to set a new record on Diwali Day

The record of the biggest collection on Laxmi Pooja to date stands with the Hrithik Roshan-led Krrish 3 (2013), which clocked Rs 15 crore on Diwali day. One must note that Krrish 3 was a pre-Diwali Friday release with Laxmi Pooja on Sunday and has held the record for 10 long years, showing its hype back in the day. Several other films have faced Diwali through its weekend right from Ra. One to Housefull 4, Jab Tak Hai, Son of Sardaar, Shivaay, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. 2012 saw a box office clash between Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son Of Sardaar and the two films put together clocked Rs 22 crore on Diwali Day, which is a record aggregate number for the day. Come 2023, and Tiger 3 team has taken the bold decision of a Sunday release, and the early trends indicate that the decision will reap big returns by the day of release. It also proves that the YRF team has made a well-informed decision, knowing better than most others of what's the best for their product.

While a record Laxmi Pooja Day was always expected, Tiger 3 is headed to score new benchmarks on the day, and probably score a Diwali Day number that could stand tall in the history of record books for a while now. Salmania has started to grip the nation as the tickets are selling at a quick pace across the board – be it single screens or the national multiplex chains. India's leading national chain, PVRInox has sold almost 37,000 tickets for the opening day alone in less than 21 hours (as off 3 PM on Sunday), and there is already a movement in ticket sales for Monday & Tuesday. What’s encouraging is the fact that there are sales in evening and night shows too for Sunday, which is the earliest signal of something special happening on Sunday, though we are still a long way away. The strong markets of Salman Khan often come on board a feature film in big numbers on Sunday and expectedly so, these areas are showing great early signs.

The exhibitors from single screens are saying that the mass on-ground fan following of Salman Khan alongside the craze of Tiger Franchise & Spy Universe could eclipse the Diwali Impact to a certain extent, however, the biggest numbers will come in from Monday, when the holiday impact seeps in. The advance booking trend has indicated the arrival of a hot film during the Diwali period, which conventionally in the 90s and 2000s was the OG period of the film business, and what better than the OG Spy Tiger to bring back the light in the glorious festive period.

If everything goes as per the expectations, the advance booking of Tiger 3 for the Laxmi Pooja Day should be a record in itself as far as the film business on Laxmi Pooja is concerned.

"this is not a story of courage. it's not a story of miracles. it's just a simple story of love.

undying love that a man had for a woman, unflinching love that a woman had for a man and unending faith that god had on their love. i ended up discovering love. love that breaks you but still keeps you together. love that creates distances but still brings you closer. love that is true and forever. i learnt that if you have the power to love like that, then god makes sure that your love finds its way. all you have to do is just hang in there and wait, wait for your time."

Bollywood, the vibrant and prolific film industry of India, has always been fascinated with diverse and picturesque locations for its film shoots. One such breathtaking destination that has captured the imagination of filmmakers is Ladakh, a region known for its stunning landscapes, high mountain passes, and unique Monasteries In Ladakh.

In this exploration, we delve into the world of Bollywood movies shot in Ladakh, showcasing the cinematic marvels that have brought this Himalayan region to the forefront of Indian cinema.

Dil Se (1998)

Director: Mani Ratnam

Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Manisha Koirala, Preity Zinta

Synopsis: "Dil Se" is a romantic thriller that explores love against the backdrop of socio-political unrest. The film's gripping narrative takes the characters to various locations, including Ladakh, where the harsh beauty of the landscape mirrors the intensity of the emotions portrayed on screen.

Ladakh Highlights:

Magnetic Hill: The film features sequences shot at the famous Magnetic Hill, incorporating Ladakh's unique geographical features into the storyline.

Ladakh's Impact: The vast and desolate landscapes of Ladakh mirror the emotional isolation and self-discovery experienced by the film's lead character. Ladakh serves as both a physical and metaphorical terrain for the protagonist to confront her fears and find solace, adding depth to the storytelling.

Challenges of Shooting in Ladakh:

While Ladakh's stunning landscapes contribute to the cinematic brilliance of these films, filming in this region comes with its own set of challenges. The high altitude, unpredictable weather, and rugged terrain require meticulous planning and execution.

Altitude Challenges: The reduced oxygen levels at high altitudes can pose health risks to the cast and crew. Filmmakers often need to acclimatize themselves and implement safety measures to ensure the well-being of everyone involved.

Weather Variability: Ladakh experiences extreme weather conditions, from freezing temperatures to sudden snowstorms. This variability necessitates flexibility in shooting schedules and the use of appropriate equipment to capture the desired visuals.

Logistical Issues: The remote location of Ladakh presents logistical challenges for film productions. Transporting equipment, crew, and resources to such a distant and challenging terrain requires meticulous planning and coordination.

Despite these challenges, filmmakers are drawn to Ladakh for the unparalleled beauty it adds to their projects, making the extra effort and preparation worthwhile.

Ladakh Connection: Ladakh serves as the backdrop for the song "Heer," a poignant and visually captivating sequence that showcases the region's natural beauty. The song, set against the backdrop of the Pangong Lake, features the lead characters expressing their emotions in Ladakh's awe-inspiring landscapes.

Impact: Despite mixed reviews, "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" was a commercial success. The Ladakh sequences, particularly the "Heer" song, received praise for their visual grandeur, contributing to the film's overall appeal.
