TV/Movies / 10 Bollywood Movies That Would Make You Fall In Love by mrwiddy(m): 3:19pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
Sadma:
Sadma Movie Poster
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:
Mr and Mrs Iyer Movie Poster
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:
Lamhe Movie Poster
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
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna Movie Poster
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:
Shuddh Desi Romance Movie Poster
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. |

Plot
Barbarita Ruiz (Natalia Streignard) is a sweet and
modest young woman who works in a fashion
boutique in Miami. One day, as part of her job as a
seamstress, she goes to the mansion of the rich
widow Ricarda Thompson (Anna Silvetti) to do a
dress fitting for her. There, she meets her older son
Valentino, a single and dishonest man who is used to
always getting what he wants. On seeing Barbarita,
he is captivated by her beauty and plans on
seducing her. But, after spending time with her and
getting to know her good nature, he falls in love
with her, much to the dismay of her mother who is
opposed to the relationship and who goes to great
lengths in order to separate the two. However,
Barbarita and Valentino get married in a simple and
private wedding ceremony.
But on the wedding night, while on their way back
from their honey moon hotel, the newly weds are
involved in a car accident that leads to the
unfortunate death of Valentino while Barbarita
survives with some few bruises. Valentino's powerful
mother blames Barbarita for the death of her son,
and she creates a cruel plan in order to get revenge:
her younger son Antonio Adolfo (Mario Cimarro)
will seduce Barbarita and when she falls in love with
him, he will abandon her.
Antonio plans on following her mother's plan to the
letter. when Barbarita is convinced that she is truly
in love with Antonio, he breaks her heart by
revealing the truth that he was only using her to get
revenge. Antonio later regrets this action when he
discovers that he has fallen madly in love with
Barbarita after witnessing her kindness and sweet
nature. When Barbarita discovers that she is
pregnant with Valentino's child, the two reconcile
and become close, their love growing stronger every
day.
However, things become complicated for the two
when Valentino suddenly reappears back in their
lives. He was not actually dead, but rather, he faked
his death so that it was not discovered that he had
embezzled his family's company fortune. Moreover,
Antonio Adolfo was previously engaged to Alexandra
Montesinos (Lorena Meritano), the spoilt daughter
of a prominent lawyer who is overcome with
jealousy and will do anything to ensure that Antonio
is hers alone.
Valentino comes back with Katiuska Cardona (Mara
Croatto), his former lover who is now posing as his
personal nurse. Valentino tries to rebuild his life with
his wife and new-born son, but the love Barbarita
felt for him has been replaced by the love of his
brother. Katiuska becomes increasingly jealous of
Barbarita, and after Valentino fails to carry out their
scheme of stealing from the Thompson's, he shoots
him and frames Barbarita for the crime.
While in prison, it is discovered that Barbarita is
legitimate daughter of Severo Montesinos (German
Barrios) and Emilia Sulbaran. Emilia's father was
opposed to the relationship she had with Severo,
and when her baby was born, he gave the child to
her nanny who then escaped to the United States
from Caracas with the child. All this time, Caridad
lied to Barbarita that she was her aunt and that her
parents died in a car accident. Also, Emilia has come
to the United States to search for her long-lost
daughter. Severo is devastated when he discovers
that Barbarita is his daughter after he treated her
cruelly while he was the leading Prosecutor in her
murder case. Her life ruined and her son taken away
from her, Barbarita swears revenge against the
Thompson's.
On the day that some of the inmates, including
Barbarita, are being transported to the main State
Prison, a planned escape by some of those inmates
gives her the chance to run away. Barbarita is
pronounced to be dead when her body isn't found
after one of the inmates who was eventually caught
stated that she had jumped into a canal filled with
crocodiles. Her family, and especially Antonio, are
devastated. Actually, Barbarita found solace in the
house of her Criminal Defense lawyer Fernando
Marín where she hides until her case is dismissed
over lack of sufficient evidence.
With her name cleared, Barbarita returns to her
family after almost five years of hiding. With help
from Larry Garcia who has now become a rich man
and the fortune of the Thompsons which was put
under her name through the help of her lawyer
after the Thompson's company became fully
bankrupt, Barbarita transforms herself into a
sophisticated woman and goes to exact her revenge
on the Thompsons who are completely shocked to
see that she is actually alive.
