🤣

Also I remember seeing interviews of Ranveer and Vaani during Bekifre days and they were talking about how they had to kiss so much for the movie that they stopped caring about how their mouth would smell. They would kiss right after lunch even if they had onions 🤢

Thank god Bollywood romance is dead! I blame them for my high expectations. Went to Switzerland, didn’t find any guy who would bring cowbell for me. Got my first boyfriend, he never said oh oh jane jana dhunde tujhe dewana. Never got that filmy proposal.... I blame you Bollywood

More like toxic masculinity masquerading as romance. I'm not denying it had its moments, though. Songs were pure gold.

No it was raw romance and passion

Not fairytale storybook bs

A few movies did have interesting romance minus the sex or physical intimacy Though the movie itself was not romantic in genre

1. Wake-up Sid.

2. Piku

3. Chichore

4. Zoya Factor

5. Mard ko Dard Nahin Hota.

Romance was quiet realistic, modern and added zing to the story.

However a proper Rom Com is needed. Variety is essential in a thriving industry.

Last good rom coms were

Socha Na Tha

Jaane To y'a Jaane Na

and

Bareily ki Barfi

All very good films except Zoya factor

Contemporary Romance realistic and didn't have physical intimacy either and very watchable.

Yes. The dreamy, romantic era where hero heroines used to sing out their love for eachother from snowy mountain tops, Swiss valleys and other foreign locales is definitely gone.😆 And yes I do terribly miss it. Because it produced so many great melodies that would never get old- and ever since BW decided that "singing around trees" isn't cool anymore, BW music has just not been the same.

While I do understand why the SRK brand of romance fell out of fashion, they definitely still connect better with me than the new crop of romantic films churned out by BW. Like, wtf was LAK2 even 🤢.. Yes, couples have sex and they kiss, but BW has found a way of making intimate scenes so vulgar and flippant, that the sense of romance, or depth is completely lost from them. Someone mentioned Ram Leela and Befikre- films loaded with love scenes and honestly instead of feeling the love/chemistry between the characters it felt like I was watching two animals at zoo openly mating infront of a live audience. 😆😵

Hate me for saying this, but Kabir Singh definitely did the romance part better than the films mentioned above. It also had kiss/love scenes but they were never vulgar, and when Kabir and Preety were together you could feel the chemistry between the couple. The songs obviously helped of course.

Well, I think that's kind of like a reflection of the times we live in. The post-Internet generation is definitely neither innocent nor simple when it comes to love. Love has become increasingly physical for the youth. So yeah, movies are just cashing in on this changing dimension.

Ok Minty answer this for me. Have u ever fallen in love? Remember that fuzzy and mushy feeling in your belly, the butterflies? You know that feeling, when you blush at only the thought of hand holding? And when he is being extremely sweet, you feel like jumping around and prancing like a little girl?

The notion of love might have changed on screen but the emotion is still the same. Kids these days might think love starts after you kiss someone...but when they actually fall in love, they will experience whatever we saw in those romantic films. Coz no amount of kisses and sex can be equal to the emotion and feeling of love. Without amour, anything physical loses its value.

Its kind of sad that films don't show this...it now takes personal experience of some 10 heartbreaks before realisation that the "the adults" (yeah that includes us too now) were right.

And to be honest, movies have changed this dimension, not the other way around. Thats why love was defined very differently for almost 50 or so years, before this change took place.
