Filmmakers pick fav romantic scenes

Ravi Chopra
New film: Baghban.
Directed by: Ravi Chopra.
Enacted by: Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini.
Scene: There is so much romance in the scene when Amitabh meets Hema at the railway station after the long separation. The longing in their eyes is to be seen to believe it.

Aaditya Dutt
New Film: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.

Karan Johar
New film: Dil To Pagal Hai.
Directed by: Yash Chopra.

Anant Mahadevan
New film: Black.
Directed by: Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Enacted by: Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee.
Scene: This might shock you but I found Rani telling Bachchan to kiss her, very romantic. A disciple telling her guru to kiss her is so off-beat I think, however, some sections of the public found it scandalous.

Soham Shah
New film: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
Directed by: Aditya Chopra.
Enacted by: Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

Pooja Bhatt
New film: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
Directed by: Aditya Chopra.
Enacted by: Shah Rukh Khan.
Scene: SRK's expressions when he sings that song Ho gaya hai tujhko to Pyar Sajna — that was magic of Hindi cinema at its best.

Govind Menon
New film: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
Directed by: Aditya Chopra.
Enacted by: Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

Kalpana Lajmi
New film: Mr and Mrs Iyer
Directed by: Aparna Sen.

Kunal Kohli
New film: Kabhie Kabhie.
Directed by: Yash Chopra.
Enacted by: Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan.
Scene: Shashi telling Amitabh that if he was in his place in college, he would have definitely fallen in love with Pooja (Rakhee). A man talking to his wife's ex-boyfriend depicts romance at its best. One needs to understand it.

Apoorva Lakhia
New film: Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
Directed by: Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Enacted by: Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai.
Scene: Aishwarya looking for Salman Khan while Ajay, hopelessly in love with her, is willing to sacrifice all that for the sake of her love and happiness. Ajay's expressions emote pain as well as love, very beautifully.

Enacted by: Rahul Bose and Konkona Sen Sharma.
Scene: The scene in the end where Rahul comes to Konkona, takes out the film roll from the camera and eventually gives it back to her.
