The romance was just a sideshow. You must pick movies where the romance itself is the main show. Like Chupke Chupke. zen and coffee_rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can forget this beautiful song shot inside Qutub Minar, lyrics, music, Dev Sahab and the naughty sweet adaayein of Nutan zen and Mariyam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agneepath - Amitabh and Madhavi . Does that qualify @BacktoCricaddict? Edited June 7 by coffee_rules BacktoCricaddict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To define something is to limit it. I "yelled' at you for asking a definition. Sorry BacktoCricaddict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 2 hours ago, goose said: Nishabd - Amitabh and Jiah Khan Dil Chahta Hai - Akshaye Khanna and Dimple DCH yes. Nishabd was a creepy copy of Jeremy Irons’s Lolita which itself was a disturbing movie. RGV has no skill or nuance to make it for Indian audiences. Bad movie overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS And I have no idea what Nishabd is! (Maybe forgotten about that film now). I am not sure if I would want to know about it if it is based on Lolita.

zen Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Btw, talking about love stories in films that are not necessarily seen as romantic ones, I like the Shammi-Asha love story in Teesri Manzil (1966), which is considered mostly as a mystery film, for its entertainment value including songs. In a way, it is Hitchcockian where it blends various elements including romance and comedy in a mystery set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
