What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than indulge in a classic Bollywood romantic movie? Twenty-eight years later, with the exception of a few necessary flaws pointed out, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge still exudes charm.
This Rani Mukerji-Vivek Oberoi-starrer revolves around the blues of young love. Suhani and Aditya fall in love and elope when it’s clear that their parents don’t approve of their union.
Late director Pradeep Sarkar’s debut film introduced Vidya Balan to the world, bringing her on-screen as the sensual and melancholic Lalita. Lalita is the love of Shekhar’s (Saif Ali Khan) life but Sarkar opens the film with the festivities of Shekhar’s marriage with someone else.
Is a list of filmy love stories ever complete without Imtiaz Ali’s era-defining Jab We Met? The film, which recently pulled crowds to theatres owing to its re-release on Valentine’s Day, remains one of the most loved romantic comedies in Hindi cinema.
Apart from the fact that this film gifted the world Ranveer Singh, Band Baaja Baarat has all the charm of a Hindi romantic comedy done right – a genre we haven’t seen enough of over the last decade.
