Synopsis
With a career that spanned five decades and more than 45 films to his credit, the late Yash Chopra defined the language of Hindi movies as we know them today. His achievements as both director and producer are staggering. Chopra was the undisputed leader of Hindi cinema and a leading voice in the booming Indian film industry; he is the only filmmaker who won India’s National Award six times. For the past 40 years, a new Yash Chopra film was always the most anticipated event of India’s film calendar. Sadly, Chopra passed away just weeks before the release of ‘Till I Breathe This Life’, his final directorial effort. The film features superstars Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in a story by Aditya Chopra, and marks Chopra’s return to the director’s chair after eight years. ‘Till There Is Life’ is classic Bollywood at its lavish best and a fitting farewell to an overwhelmingly illustrious career.
