Karwa Chauth is such a widely celebrated festival that even Bollywood couldn't resist projecting the essence of this festival in many movies. Here we bring to you 7 such Bollywood movies that incorporated the value of Indian tradition, depicting the festival of Karwa Chauth:
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge: Probably, one such movie of Bollywood, which is loved by all, from your elders to the younger generation. A movie which was all about love, that depicted the western and Indian culture so beautifully, and so gave us the cutest karva chauth scene too.
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam: This love triangle gave us the most memorable Karwa Chauth song, "Chaand chhupa badal mein." The movie is one of those movies which is still listed as one of the favourites of many Bollywood fans.
Baghban: This movie has the magic to bring tears to everyone's eyes. The Karwa Chauth sequence between Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini is heartbreakingly beautiful, with the song 'Main Yahan Tu Wahan.'
Thank You: A comedy movie like this, under the amazing direction of Aneez Bazmee, depicts the scene of Karva Chauth followed by a hilarious chase involving the leading men.
Biwi No.1: Another iconic Salman Khan movie depicts the memorable Karva Chauth scene. The scene is memorable because of its importance in the plot exposing Salman’character who is cheating on his wife played by Karishma Kapoor, with Sushmita Sen’s character.
Zeher: A thriller movie like Zeher, featured Emraan Hashmi and Shamita Shetty. The Karwa Chauth scene in this movie became even more interesting with its song ‘Agar Tum Mil Jao’.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham: A movie that gave us almost every emotion, surely can't miss the festival which is widely celebrated in our country. A typical Karan Johar movie, which is incomplete without a grand celebration, celebrated the Karva Chauth festival too on a grand scale.
