 | | His highly successful period began in 1989 with Chandni, a huge box-office success, a film with all the hallmarks of what has come to be known as the Yash Chopra style: heroine-oriented, romantic, emotional, depicting the lifestyle of the super elite, with superhit music used in songs pictured in foreign locations. |
 | | 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. |
 | | His first film for Rai, Joshila ('Passionate', 1973), an action-oriented movie fared only averagely at the box office, but his first independently produced film Daag ('The stain' or 'The stigma', 1973), a melodrama about a man with two wives, was a great success. |
