They say love is that one thing that can’t be learned from books, surroundings, or anything. But it seems it is not entirely right. Movies have time and again delivered some crucial lessons on the art of love, especially when it comes to Bollywood. The Bollywood romantic movies should be blamed for making the audience hopeless romantic. Those romantic songs with imaginary scenarios have injected hopelessly romantic expectation into our head. To celebrate Valentine Day , here we bring you the top 10 romantic Bollywood movies to watch on this day of love with your bae:
1. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: When it comes to romantic movies, DDLJ is our all-time favorite movie. The story of Raj and Simran on how they met on the train and managed to catch another train in order to have a happy life never fails to make our eyes run like a fountain. The charm of the movie is influential in that it made the industry shine on the global stage.
2. Jab They Met: If you are a fan of rom-com movies with a masala of drama then the story of Geet and Aditya is for you. The story of the movie is about how they meet on a train and start a new journey by missing that train. Not just love lessons, the movie also gave us an important lesson on the red flags in a guy.
3. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: This movie should be blamed for convincing us that a guy and a girl can’t be friends. The story of KKHH is about a love triangle between Rahul, Anjali, and Simran. In the film, Shah Rukh Khan’s character Rahul in the Bollywood romantic movie fails to realize that his best friend was, in fact, the girl he loved all along.
4. Veer Zara: Taking on the theme of old-school romance, Veer Zara is one of the most loved cult classics of the industry. This romantic classic is about the love story of Veer and Zara who meets, fall in love, and part away but again meet each other after a long time. The songs of the movie is the key highlight of the movie.
5. Wake Up Sid: This movie is all about the transition to adulthood which is no doubt a difficult affair. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, this film features Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma in the lead. More than talking about the challenges and responsibilities that adulthood teaches, the movie showed us how love can change a person for good.
6. Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani: If you are a movie fan who believes in modern-day love, this movie is for you. YJHD is the adorable love story of a topper studies girl and a flirtish guy. But in the end, they find themselves for them.
7. Kal Ho Na Ho: Shah Rukh Khan = Love. It's Valentine's Day and it would be a crime if we don't talk about the King of Romance and his iconic "diary" scene from the film 'Kal Ho Naa Ho. The scene is considered to be one of the most emotional scenes in the film. For the unversed, in the scene, SRK confessed his feelings to Naina (Preity Zinta), pretending that he was reading out a letter from Saif Ali Khan's diary.
8. Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na: If romantic movies ever had a flagbearer, this movie will be it. Every scene of the movie just made us go aww. But the proposal scene of the movie was straight out of Disney. Jai rushes towards the Mumbai airports on a white horse-like prince charming, fights with police to win over the love of his life Aditi.
9. 2 states: This scene gets to you because of the urgency with which Krish approaches the situation. He enters Ananya’s interview, sits beside her, and tells her that he has to marry her, no one else will do. It’s the emotion in his proposal that makes us cry a little.
10. Anjaana Anjaani: Akash confesses his love to Kiara mid-water and it’s the realization that really gets you. Completed with the dialogue, “Mujhe jeena hai tumhare saath, forever and ever till the day I die,” there’s just something about Ranbir Kapoor proposing. Hai na?
