Aditya's Chopra's Mohabattein in its final edited version is reportedly a three-hour-forty-minute long extravaganza.

The cineplexes were willing to give 50 per cent of the net revenue in the first week to Chopra, 45 per cent in the second week, 40 per cent in the third and 30 per cent in the fourth and subsequent weeks.
But the Chopras were not willing to settle for anything less than 50 per cent in the first two weeks, 45 per cent in the third and 40 per cent in the fourth week onwards.
The Chopra scion’s reasoning is that a lot of effort goes into the making of their films and they need to be suitably compensated for that.

Aditya Chopra's company holds the all-India distribution rights of the historical directed by Ketan Mehta and is also the distributor of the Hindi and English versions in part of the Overseas circuit (USA and UK).

Aditya Chopra’s spectacular debut as writer-director (‘DDLJ’ is the biggest among the massive hits of the Yashraj Films banner) came about by a series of chances.
Aditya says that the focus on the cultural crisis of the NRI and his family came in as a dramatic element and was not deliberately thrust in the film.
First, Aditya’s (and now Shah Rukh’s and Kajol’s) buddy Karan Johar who was to later give the star-pair the mega-hit ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ generally assisted Aditya on the film and also was seen as one of Shah Rukh’s cronies in the film.

Chopra has terrific help from cameraman Anil Mehta who beautifies the rugged rural landscape without making it appear fairytale-like in proportion.
The use of spatial harmony in the haunting climactic song "Tere liye" is a measure of Chopra's power and skills of narration.

I was watching Aditya Chopra’s Mohabbatein again (on television) only because I loved the clashes between the two titans, one an icon of the millennium, Amitabh Bachchan, and the other, the saving grace and the leading light of the new generation, Shah Rukh Khan.

In 1959 Yash Chopra directed his first film Dhool Ka Phool ('Blossom of dust, love child'), a story of a woman betrayed by her lover and the subsequent fate of their illegitimate child.
Yash Chopra's own favourite film, Lamhe ('Moments', 1991), divided the audience on a class basis: it was hugely popular with metropolitan elites and the overseas market, which allowed it to break even, but it had a poor box-office response (largely lower class, especially the repeat audience) because of its supposed incest theme.
