The death of Mr. Yash Chopra The Emperor of £ove and Romance of Indian Cinemas, was definitely the end of an era of romance in Bollywood but the magic lives on in his movies that will always remain timeless classics....
Here are some of his films...which have been moi very favorites...
Daag: A Poem of Love is a 1973 Bollywood film produced and directed by Yash Chopra in his debut as a producer, which laid the foundation of Yash Raj Films. It is an adaptation of the novel The Mayor of Casterbridge.
The film stars Sharmila Tagore, Rajesh Khanna, Raakhee (who won her first Filmfare award), Madan Puri, Kader Khan, Prem Chopra and A.K. Hangal.
The film was made at the height of the Rajesh Khanna craze and became a "super hit" at the box office.The music by Laxmikant Pyarelal dominated the charts for the year
Deewaar: is a 1975 Indian crime-drama film directed by Yash Chopra, written by Salim-Javed, and starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor. Reflective of "the tumultuous politics of the early 70s" in India, Deewaar tells the story of two impoverished brothers who, after their family is betrayed by the misplaced idealism of their father, struggle to survive on the streets of Mumbai.
Deewaar was a ground-breaking work. It was one of a few films which established Bachchan as the "angry young man" of Bollywood cinema and Parveen Babi as the "new Bollywood woman"whose character Anita is "a liberated working girl, smoking, drinking and sleeping with her lover, defying every Hindi film heroine rule."This movie cemented the success of the writing duo Salim-Javed, who went on to write many more blockbuster films, and made them one of the most memorable writers in Hindi cinema. It is said that after the success of this film, the value of film writers skyrocketed, thanks to Salim-Javed, and they soon were being paid as high as some of the actors at the time
The period from late seventies to 1989 marked a professional setback in Chopra's career; several films he produced or directed in that period failed to leave a mark at the Indian box office, notably Doosra Aadmi (1977), Mashaal (1984), Faasle (1985) and Vijay (1988). In 1989, Chopra directed the commercially and critically successful cult film Chandni, which became instrumental in ending the era of violent films in Bollywood and returning musicals.
Kabhie Kabhi (1976) - The film's complex storyline that spans two generations and includes a number of characters is narrated with utmost simplicity. It is the story of a poet, Amitabh Bachchan and his love interest Rakhi who are forced to part away after Rakhi's arranged marriage. They move on in their lives only to be reunited by fate
साहिर लुधियानवी साहिब की पूरी ग़ज़ल जो गीत बना....कम्पोज़ किया ख्खयाम जी ने और गाया मुकेश जी ने [Composer : Khayyam; Singer : Mukesh]
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है
कि ज़िन्दगी तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों की नर्म छाँव में
गुज़रने पाती तो शादाब हो भी सकती थी
ये तीरगी जो मेरी ज़ीस्त का मुक़द्दर है
तेरी नज़र की शुआओं में खो भी सकती थी
अजब न था के मैं बेगाना-ए-अलम रह कर
तेरे जमाल की रानाईयों में खो रहता
तेरा गुदाज़ बदन तेरी नीमबाज़ आँखें
इन्हीं हसीन फ़सानों में महव हो रहता
पुकारतीं मुझे जब तल्ख़ियाँ ज़माने की
तेरे लबों से हलावट के घूँट पी लेता
हयात चीखती फिरती बरहना-सर, और मैं
घनेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों के साये में छुप के जी लेता
मगर ये हो न सका और अब ये आलम है
के तू नहीं, तेरा ग़म, तेरी जुस्तजू भी नहीं
गुज़र रही है कुछ इस तरह ज़िन्दगी जैसे
इसे किसी के सहारे की आरज़ू भी नहीं
ज़माने भर के दुखों को लगा चुका हूँ गले
गुज़र रहा हूँ कुछ अनजानी रह्गुज़ारों से
महीब साये मेरी सम्त बढ़ते आते हैं
हयात-ओ-मौत के पुरहौल ख़ारज़ारों से
न कोई जादह-ए-मंज़िल न रौशनी का सुराग़
भटक रही है ख़लाओं में ज़िन्दगी मेरी
इन्हीं ख़लाओं में रह जाऊँगा कभी खोकर
मैं जानता हूँ मेरी हमनफ़स मगर फिर भी
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है
=========================
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख्याल आता है
कि जैसे तुझको बनाया गया है मेरे लिए
तू अबसे पहले सितारों में बस रही थी कहीं
तुझे ज़मीन पे बुलाया गया है मेरे लिए |
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है
कि ये बदन ये निगाहें मेरी अमानत हैं
ये गेसुओं की घनी छाँव है मेरी खातिर
ये होंठ और ये बाहें मेरी अमानत हैं |
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है
कि जैसे बजती है शहनाइयां सी राहों में
सुहागरात है घूंघट उठा रहा हूँ मैं
सिमट रही है तू शरमा अपनी बाहों में |
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है .
कि जैसे तू मुझे चाहेगी उम्र भर यूँ ही
उठेगी मेरी तरफ प्यार की नज़र यूँ ही
मैं जानता हूँ कि तू गैर है मगर यूँ ही
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख़याल आता है |
[आखिरी लाइन में "यूँ ही" का अर्थ शुरू की दो लाइनों से अलग है. पहले तो साहिर इसका इस्तेमाल अपने ख़ूबसूरत हालात(ख़यालात) की निरंतरता के लिए करते हैं, परन्तु फिर उनकी हकीकत उन पर तारी हो जाती है . वो ख्यालों की दुनिया से वापस आ जाते है और इन ख्यालों की निरर्थकता के लिए वो एक बार फिर "यूँ ही" शब्द का इस्तेमाल करते हैं . "यूँ ही" शब्द का ये अद्भुत इस्तेमाल पढने, सुनने वाले पर एक जादू सा असर छोड़ता है, जो साहिर जैसों के बस का ही कमाल है]

Jab Tak Hai Jaan is a 2012 Indian romantic drama film directed by Yash Chopra and written and produced by Aditya Chopra under their production banner, Yash Raj Films. It features Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in lead roles; this is the first collaboration between Khan and Kaif, and the second between Khan and Sharma (they previously featured in the 2008 film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi). Yash Chopra returned to directing eight years after Veer-Zaara and it was his final film before his death on 21 October 2012. The background score and soundtrack was composed by A.R. Rahman, while the lyrics were written by Gulzar.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan tells the story of Akira Rai (Sharma), a curious Discovery Channel intern, who finds the diary of a bomb-disposal expert, Samar Anand (Khan), which recounts his days as a struggling immigrant in London, and his romance with Meera Thapar (Kaif). The film was released during the six-day Diwali weekend beginning on 13 November 2012. It received positive-to-mixed reviews from critics in India and positive reviews abroad. It opened well at the box office, and Box Office India declared the film a "hit" in India and a "blockbuster" overseas. Jab Tak Hai Jaan emerged as the fifth-highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time overseas, after Dhoom 3 (2013), 3 Idiots (2009), My Name Is Khan (2010) and Chennai Express (2013)
The film was praised for its direction, cinematography and the chemistry between the lead actors; Khan and Sharma were appreciated for their performances, although the predictable plot was criticised. At the end of its theatrical run Jab Tak Hai Jaan received a number of awards, including four Filmfare Awards, which included trophies for Best Supporting Actress (Sharma) and Best Lyrics for Gulzar
Veer Zara (2004) - Only yash Chopra can manage to recreate a profound love story of sacrifice and pathos that is the likes of Romeo and Juliet, Heer Ranjha. A love story of an Indian boy and Pakistani girl, it questions man made boundaries and demarcations
