Yash Chopra is no more! :( He just completed 80 years and his last movie 'Jab tak hain jaan' is releasing on Nov 13th. Oh, the irony of it all! Sigh!
Being a Veer-Zaara fanatic that I am, I thought I will write a post.
Who can forget his romantic masterpieces - Silsila, Kabhi Kabhi, Lamhe (yes, i loved that movie), DTPH and more recently Veer-Zaara! I won't talk about Deewar, Daag etc. as they don't fit into the romance genre. His approach to romance, sometimes ahead of his times (Lamhe), sometimes portraying the complexities in relationships (kabhi kabhi, silsila) in such a dignified way is truly marvelous. The women, esp, are strongly etched characters, confident and free-willed too. (rekha, jaya, waheeda, sridevi).
One thing that comes to my mind now is this song - Ek dooje ke vaaste, from DTPH. Check out this lovely song. The theme is so sweet; the diff couples and diff portrayal of love make it a very feel-good kind of a song. :) Posting this song for 1 more reason, for Yash Chopra's cameo! Can you spot him?
