Yash Chopra

Yash Chopra made his directorial debut with 'Dhool Ka Phool' (1959).

He admitted that it was not easy to start Yash Raj Films, his production house that has been delivering blockbuster hits, in 1971.

Yet, Chopra was one of the few directors to make two superhit films simultaneously - action drama 'Deewar' (1975) and cross-generational romance 'Kabhi Kabhie' (1976) - both proved his versatility and his hold on the pulse of audiences.

But, like all legendary directors, no one or two films can sum up Chopra's achievements.
