It is said that the late filmmaker visited the country for his honeymoon and was smitten with it, going on to shoot many of his films there. So, as Smriti Mundhra’s docu-series The Romantics — that celebrates his movies — drops online today, Jungfrau Railways of Switzerland has paid a tribute to the legend.

Remo Kaser, sales director, Jungfrau Railways, reveals, “Yash Chopra has presented the beauty of Switzerland, especially the Jungfrau region, to Indians across the world for generations. Indians who come to Jungfraujoch have spoken to us about how his romantic films have pushed them to visit the region.” Throughout the month, the Swiss authorities will celebrate the filmmaker’s legacy across the locations where he shot his films, including Chandni (1989) and Darr (1993). Besides the ice sculpture, the authorities will host screenings of the Netflix docu-series, and play his films’ trailers at these venues.
