Clearly, in our culture, self sacrifice, letting go and putting needs of others over oneโs own is called as love. Which is why a momโs love is most revered here. We can see it easily in movies like KKHH, veer zaara, KHNH etc. There is this quality of simplicity and innocence. I think that quality is shown in Harry Potter books and movies as well - loyalty, love..

Western movies lack that kind of build up. They donโt have the nuance that Desis do. Even Pakistani dramas like ZGH & Humsafar are able to show romance with zero physical intimacy.
