Akansha Rukhaiyar
DDLJ has become a point of reference for romance films that have come after it. Singles even today are in search of their Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) or Simran (Kajol). DDLJ reminds us that we do not have to be perfect to get love.
The love triangle is stronger than ever, the bad-boy-meets-good-girl trope is thriving, and the main character is named *drum roll*, Raj (Abhishek Bachchan). Watch suave and sophisticated Raj fall in love with Namrata's (Aishwarya Rai) charm.
This is the story of Karan (Saif Ali Khan), and Rhea (Rani Mukerji); two individuals who could not be more different in their approaches to life. Hum Tum transcends female stereotypes and shows accountability in relationships, all with a banging sound track.
Veer Zaara is a love story about two individuals who belong to different countries, but they may as well have been from different worlds. This film binds themes like sacrifice, patriotism, and prejudice to create a compelling saga of love that knows no bounds.
Live-in relationships were a hush-hush topic in 2005. And then Salaam Namaste came out. The film is a manifestation of the modern adult relationship covering tropes like enemies-to-lovers, live-in relationships, and the situationship generation's nightmare: commitment.
Karan Johar's film deftly portrays infidelity while also showing that " Khudgarzi ki kya sazaa hai?" is a question no one wants to spend their life answering, but we would go on that quest for love.
RRKPK is an ode to the nostalgia of the 2000s era of Bollywood romance. Rani (Alia Bhatt) is feisty and smart, Rocky (Ranveer Singh) is loud and all heart, and together, they help their families embark on a journey of growth and acceptance, with lots of references to iconic Hindi films.
