Sholay - Amitabh and Jaya

Does not fit the definition of romantic movie as per the instructions of @zen and @Mariyam

 

I got yelled at by them and so should you: 

 

Sholay's main point was finish off Gabbar and save the people from his wrath. The romance was just a sideshow. You must pick movies where the romance itself is the main show. Like Chupke Chupke.

the simmering tension, followed by heartbreak, barely a word spoken between them, then acknowleged finally by amithabh when moments from death - romantic masterpiece

Tere Ghar Ke Samne (1963)

 

An interesting and entertaining romantic comedy directed by Goldie and starring Dev Anand and Nutan. 

 

 

Who can forget this beautiful song shot inside Qutub Minar, lyrics, music, Dev Sahab and the naughty sweet adaayein of Nutan

The vulnerabiitiy of a mafia don who is used to dominating others around him, and to lose out to sensuous interactions with  a nubile nurse who takes care of him when he's injured. 


Agneepath - Amitabh and Madhavi .  Does that qualify @BacktoCricaddict?

Dr Sahab, I don't have a definition of love/romatic movie.

 

To define something is to limit it.

 

I "yelled' at you for asking a definition.

 

Sorry :((

You have grown up reading Filmfare, it is quite evident.

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

Kubrick made Lolita (1962) too. Yeah, not the film that I would like to watch (unless to see something for a change). 
 

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.

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.
