I cannot think of anything after Jab We Met was the apt classic. Jaane Tu was a sweet movie, but it didn't had that cult feeling which JWM had. But post 2010, I am struggling to find a proper romantic track, BBB was good, but it never touched me as a romantic track. While I enjoyed few like 2States and HTP, (I am sure I am forgetting few more), but non-satisfied me like JWM. Aashiqi2 had great album but story while still a much better movie than one, wasn't all that great. I really wanted LAK to explore more of Harleen-Veer track than the Meera-Jai track. It had potential for its simplicity but more was imbalanced because of the modern track.
JHMS disappointed big time while I had no hope from Fitoor, and they came out with flying success in respect to my expectations.
So IF which is the last great romatic track Bollywood had? Note I don't consider Lootera or October romantic tracks

There nothing fresh about STK, while it had great songs especially Tera Chehra, but the movie was not upto mark.

Personal preferences aside, Raanjhana and Ram leela did extremely well as love stories. Probably even Barfi too.

For me it was the lunchbox.
But don't think you will consider it "romantic".

Aashiqui 2 then. Though I didn't like the film myself.

I feel nobody wants to make a pure "romantic" film anymore because romance as the core content just doesn't work these days.
Most importantly, Bollywood doesn't have good scripts for romantic films.

So the makers add another tadka be it comedy, tragedy, drama, thrill or anything else in their films and romance takes a back seat.

For e.g.

RK's Rockstar was a romantic film at its core but it had had "drama" as tadka. Same goes for Barfi, Lootera etc.

Raanjhna worked because of its rural backdrop. YJHD worked because of its commercial aspects.

All these films had romance at their core, but they worked because they had descent story lines.

Good music can only help once in a while, like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Aashiqui 2 etc.


Some notable "romance" failures are since JWM are:

Main aur Mrs Khanna (2009)
Anjana Anjani (2010)
Kites (2011)
Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)
Katti Batti (2015)
Sanam Re (2016)
Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017)
Jagga Jasoos
