Yash Chopra’s tryst with the color yellow
This is something my mother pointed out many years ago and I have keenly observed this trend ever since. In almost all his movies (as director or producer),there would be at least one shot of the lead actress in a gorgeous yellow attire. It is usually incorporated into a song sequence. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but if it is, it’s a rather uncanny one.
Take a look…
