10 Bollywood Movies That Would Make You Fall In Love by mrwiddy(m): 3:19pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
Sadma:

Kamal Haasan and Sridevi’s love didn’t make sense to
you? Yes, for most that was a defected love story. The
hero was more of a babysitter for the adorable, child-
like Sridevi. But the moving, turbulent climax of Sadma
will leave you shaken up. Romantic films don’t do that.
They are mostly froth, hearts and bubbles. Sadma ranks
on the top position for being one of my earliest
memories of understanding why Kamal Haasan cries
when Sridevi can’t recognize him in the end.
Mr and Mrs Iyer:

The woman has in her lap a small baby. The man she
meets on the trip is a Muslim. Stuck in volatile area,
amidst the repercussions from Hindu Muslim riots, they
were two absolutely strangers whose bond don’t even
get close to strings of physical but is volumes more
beautiful than the mundane ones we watch in rom-
coms. Rahul Bose and Konkona Sen Sharma’s subtle
romance is epic and despite the two not living happily
ever after, the story of their love goes beyond the
tapestry of recognized and understood socially stamped
relationships.
Lamhe:

In many ways, this film of Yash Chopra was way more
defining one for his career than Silsila. If Chopra risked
on defying the stereotypes with Silsila , with Lamhe he
furthered it into a dimension so dangerous that
commercial cinema still shirks from matching it.
Wrapped with hues of incest, the story was unusual for
the considerable age gap between the couple in
question but also that the man had been in love with
the mother and then falls for the daughter years later.
Even today Bollywood is not bold enough to try
something like that and hence the beauty of Lamhe
remain just as unaltered.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

In a conversation I had with Karan Johar I had told him
KANK was his best commercial effort till date and the
filmmaker looked bemused. It will be easier to say it
was Kuch Kuch Hota Hai for its success or My Name Is
Khan for its magnanimity but KANK hails for its honesty.
Johar for the first time proved he has a deep
understanding of human characters. It all made sense to
me atleast, how a woman (Rani) can be unhappy despite
having a perfect husband like Abhishek. Love isn’t about
being with someone perfect. It made sense to me when
Rani makes love with SRK so passionately when she was
almost dead in bed with Abhishek. Once again, Abhishek
was very perfect but Rani had not found perfection
with him. I could also fathom why two bitterly negative
people find love with each other. And for me, Rani and
SRK’s romance was more beautiful than any other
candyfloss tale Johar has ever said.
Shuddh Desi Romance:

Jaideep Sahani wrote an exhilarating film which Sushant
Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra performed to perfection.
Apprehensive of commitment, shaky, young
recognizable characters, I love this films for the out of
the blue characters who keep running out on each
other only to fall back into each other’s arms. It refrains
from getting formulaic and maintains its sprightly
energy for most part. Also I like the ease with which it
depicts sexual attraction without making a fuss about it.
Fiesty, ferocious and just as charming.
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu:
Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu Movie Poster
And in a full fledged romantic comedy, comes a climax
so stark that you sit up and check if it is really a
Dharma Romance you are watching. From What
Happens In Vegas , Stays In Vegas story emerges two
people, barely known to each other, married in a
drunken state. The guy falls in love with her over time
and Kareena ensures that she is just perfectly vivacious
to make you believe that. However, when she describes
how all her life she has been into one relationship or
the other, and she needs to give herself a break before
taking a leap into another futile and menaningless
affair, is commendable. The doe-eyed Imran Khan
knows in his heart, sooner or later, it will work out
between them and though the climax didn’t tell us that,
even we knew it would happen for them.
Dedh Ishqiya:
Dedh Ishqiya Movie Poster
I wish they had called the film Lihaaf but definitely
Abhishek Chaubey reminded us of the boisterous Ismat
Chugtai, in the most warm way possible. The romance
of Begum Para and Muniya is delicately done, never
getting over the top and yet when the climax is
revealed, the beauty of their intimacy is awe striking.
Huma Qureshi’s glee when she goes to visit Madhuri
Dixit speaks more than words and with their shadows
merging into one, Naseeruddin Shah’s dumfounded yet
overwhelmed reaction tells us way more beautiful love
story than we had bargained for.
Rockstar:
Rockstar Movie Poster
Ranbir Kapoor’s pining was painful and at one point in
the film his character had claimed that mera dil toota
hai, to which his friend says agar dil toota hota toh tu
yaha baith ke samose nahi kha raha hota. And then
when his heart really broke inch by inch, bit by bit, it’s
painful, beatiful and perhaps cannot be lucidly put to
words.
Barfi!:
Barfi! Movie Poster
Many had criticized Anurag Basu for blatantly lifting
scenes from films. All said and done, there is no
denying that Barfi! was a fantastic movie. And the
reason why it was so precious is Ranbir Kapoor and
Priyanka Chopra’s fantastic chemistry and wonderful
performances. Anurag Basu’s understanding of romance
had always been very unusual as evident from his films
like Life In A Metro and Gangster but Barfi! was
innocent and delightfully decadent.
Cheeni Kum:
Cheeni Kum Movie Poster
When the too old and too young fall for each other. 64
year old Amitabh Bachchan and 34 year old Tabu are
drawn to each other in the uncanniest of ways. Quite a
proclaimed brat that Bachchan was, Tabu in her warm
ways matches up to the much older man with wimpish
perfection. She knows how to put him right and
Bachchan falls for that quality in the woman who finally
after 6 decades of his life knew how to tame him. |
