Tomorrow is
legendary filmmaker BRChopra’s birthday and I remember the first time I met him
at his home for an interview. Chopra had done his masters in English literature
and worked as a journalist in the undivided India before partition. He was very
proud of his beginnings and always shared it with all the journalists he met in
his career.
Later we were
together in a committee and needed to meet frequently at his residence which is
how I was introduced to his daughter-in-law Renu Chopra.
When his son
Ravi Chopra was coming back from television to the big screen aftera long
hiatus the banner had organized a Retrospective of BRFilms and I was the
moderator for all the interactions following the screening of these films.
BR Chopra was
a pathbreaking filmmaker and superstars were proud of being associated to his
banner. So many years have passed but we still remember Dhool Ka Phool, Naya Daur, Waqt, Ittefaq and other significant
films.
