BrchopraBollywood legend B.R. Chopra has passed on today. We get the scoop from the sombre necro caves of Yahoo:

Veteran Indian filmmaker B.R. Chopra, whose Bollywood career spanned five decades, died at home on Wednesday. He was 94. Ailments relating to old age caused Chopra’s death, said Monika Bhattacharya, a spokeswoman for movie studio Yash Raj Films, run by his younger brother.

Chopra was known for tackling socially relevant themes in Hindi language films.

I am not familiar with the work of his man, but some of you may be. Bollywood has legions of fans and for those of you that are mourning the loss of this legend; we offer our condolences.
