Cinematic love doesn’t seem real, does it? I mean who waits for a girl to look back and decide that she is in love or who travels miles to stop the arranged marriage of a girl who even didn’t accept that she is in love. In case you haven’t guessed it already, they were hints from DDLJ. So the point is that love in reel life and real life is entirely different.
However, not all the romantic movies are unrealistic. Some them actually have some real concept of love and that’s what makes then the all-time romantic movies. These movies do not twist your concept of love and give you false expectations but they do make you realize that true love finds its way when you least expect it.
So here are some real romantic movies that you should watch while you are young and have a chance to be hit by Cupid’s bow.
1. Dil Chahta Hai
Actually, this movie has 3 love stories and you can totally relate to them. A guy who falls in love with an older woman, another who is a player and finds love in a simple woman and third one who never believed in love but ultimately fell for a friend’s fiance.
2. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
If you can afford that life, it is not at all unreal. You could be Abhay who never was sure to get married to his present girlfriend. You could be Farhan who was looking for his father’s love he never received or you could be Hrithik, who was love struck at a time when he wasn’t even looking for it.
3. Hum Tum
You might hate the war between two genders but you have got to love the story. It actually makes us believe that love can happen at any age.
4. Love Aaj Kal
This one was Bollywood’s one of the most real love stories ever. Sometimes when you lose someone, you realize how incomplete you are without them. It’s so real in our lives. We have become so materialistic that we have lost the importance of relationships.
5. Barfi
Okay so the concept of love in this movie is inspired by some Hollywood romantic movie but we can’t just overlook the fact that it teaches that love is all about standing by each other. You need to accept people just the way they are.
6. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
This one is a classic. Two people who knew that there is a spark that is stronger than anything but they part their ways to make it big in life only to meet after and realize that they just can’t live without each other.
7. Socha Na Tha
One of Imtiaz Ali’s best. Two people who met for an arranged marriage decided not to do it because the boy was in love with another girl. They become friends and realize that they have fallen in love with each other.
8. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Jai and Aditi are the epitome of best friends and soulmates. We bet you can’t watch this one just once.
9. 10 Things I Hate About You
Moving on to Hollywood category. A guy who pretends to be a girl’s boyfriend and finally they find love in each other.
10. Silver Linings Playbook
Two broken hearts can either destroy or create something heavenly. In this movie, the later one happens.
11. La La Land
Do we even need to tell how amazing this movie was? It has one of the most heart touching 20 last minutes and we bet you will cry your heart out after watching La La Land.
If you haven’t watched all of them already then you are missing out some major art created by the movie industry. These all-time favorite movies are a must watch.
