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.

@bold..... 100% agree with u. I felt Kabir Singh captured the romantic first love beautifully. Except fir tge slapping scene, which was problamatic for me, I loved the rest of the movie.

I haven't watched other movies like LAK2 , Ram leela and others , so I can't comment on the potrayal of love and sex in the recent films. Infact, I stopped watching romantic movies fir their unreal, childish love stories and the corny, cheesy dialogues. The only recent ones I watched were ADHM and Kabir...... And ADHM was crap🤢

Its not about premarital sex or extra marital affair or a same sex relationship....I don't think anyone cares for all that anymore.....its about seeing the act onscreen is that which puts me off..😆..even if its between a married couple....a suggestion/hint is OK ...maybe a couple of mins of the act is OK...but beyond that it becomes eww worthy for me....I never watch such movies in the theater....at home...fast forward is the option😆 but that is just me....I know some might like it so the films need to make it enjoyable for everyone...just don't over do it..

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.

on the other hand, i think movies in the 90s that show love at first sight n all r more about lust .If u r falling for someone after first meet it is lust bcz their physical appearance is what your feelings r based on. Love takes time and knowing each other. movies like Wake up sid or yjhd do a much better job imo. Love is such a complex thing.Feelings take time to manifest.

also i feel bw as a whole never explores how flawed the concept of 'the one' is.Its more like how monica in friends said, u gotta keep working hard at the relationship. and somedays u work extra hard. in the end love aint effortless,atleast relationships are not

hai tere khayaalo main khoya rahoonga

tere liye har dard sahoonga

mere liye tujhe bheja hai rab ne

saare jamaane se main yeh kahoonga

When your young you dream of love like this. But it’s never like this. I wanted to serenade my wife w this song once and she’s like no you’ll jus embarrass everyone 😆 I did it anyway

Ofcourse the first butterflies wali feeling r always gonna be the same. Its a beautiful feeling. But so is getting intimate with that person for the first time. You are trusting that person ,the vulnerability,the desire,its all very beautiful if shown realistically.

@bold: I think u missed my point. Being intimate or pre-marital sex is fine, to each their own. But love and physical intimacy are two different things. Put them together, its beautiful. But a relationship based on physical elements only (like we see these days) won't be endgame. After all, intimacy is a way to show love...but its not the only form of love.

Another Form of love is flowers and Ferrero Rocher chocolates 😆
