Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002)



This movie revolves around the childhood friendship between three best friends played by; Pooja (Rani Mukherjee), Tina (Kareena Kapoor) and Raj (Hrithik Roshan). When Raj leaves to England he tells Tina that he will keep in touch with her. Once he gets there, he starts to write emails to her and once Tina reads the first one she isn't interested in them and asks Pooja to reply to them. While replying to these emails, she signs them with Tina's email. Raj isn't aware that Tina isn't the one replying to his emails and this love between Pooja and Raj grows over the 15 years. Once he comes back from England, he decides to tell her how he feels but he is unaware that his other friend Pooja is the one who has true feelings for him. After when he comes back is where the plot all comes together and there is another twist to it, a new character is added as well. 

The music was one of the best in this movie, the medley played in this movie was beyond amazing and had the best classical songs in it, with a touch of modern music. This movie shows the value of friendship, how these childhood friends have been friends for the longest time and not much has changed between them. This movie is a must watch for the music, story of friendship and how love and friendship can sometimes go together in relationships. The movie also shows the respect one should have for their elders, shows morals and values. Also, it shows how the families allow their children the freedom of choice which is needed in terms of marriage. Once again, this is a must watch movie and is for any audience either it be comedy, romantic or drama movies. 



Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)



The movie starrs Sharukh Khan and Anushka Sharma as the main characters, they also had amazing chemistry as well. This movie is about a middle aged man, the role played by Sharukh and how he lost his love. He wants to regain this love by creating a new identity to bring back the spark in his marriage. This new identity comes upon when he sees a poster for a dance reality show called 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', his wife, Anushka, wants to participate in the how but she thinks that her husbands friends will make fun of her and she thinks her husband won't let her enter it. This is where her husband, Sharukh, decides to get a makeover done completely and participate in the dance reality show to bring back the spark into his dull and unromantic marriage.

The music and cinematography is amazing and mind blowing to watch and songs are very soulful too. The romantic song titled 'Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai' is sung by Roop Kumar Rathod, it is one soulful and romantic song which I'm sure all you bollywood movie lovers will love. In my opinion, this movie is one of the best recent romantic movies with added comedy into it. The rating I would give this movie is a 7.5/10, this movie was amazing, has a good message to it and best songs as well. The message this movie gives is how being ordinary is 'cool' as well and you do not need to change your self but at times to rekindle that love in your marriage, you might need to show a different side and see how it goes.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani (2015)




The movie 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' has Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi and Rajkumar Rao as the few main characters. The main love story is between Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi. This love story between the two is based on love story of the producer Mahesh Bhatt's parents Nanabhai Bhatt, Shirin Mohammed Ali and his stepmother. As you will learn while watching and after the movie ends, it is about an incomplete love story, hence the title of this movie -'Hamari Adhuri Kahani'. In a basic summary, this movie starts after the five year disappearance of Vasudha's (Vidya's) husband, then she becomes romantically involved with another man who is a hotel magnate. Then both the lovers solve the issues from Vasudha's past, when it comes to haunt her.

This movie did at first seem like one of those cliche movies but it has a whole different story to it than other recent love stories we have seen in bollywood movies. The rating I would give this movie is an 8 out of 10, because I believe that even though it did lack in a few areas but the performances by Emran mainly was beyond amazing and he fit the role amazingly. The music was a hit as well, the title song and the song titled 'Humnava' is another amazing and soulful song in this movie. Overall, this movie was amazing, had a good story to it but the beginning of this movie could have been little better in my opinion and less dark. I would say it is still a movie that should be watched and given a chance because of the astounding performances by Vidya and Emran.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

 

In this movie, the story follows along Sharukh and Kajol, playing the roles of Simran and Raj. Simran is the eldest daughter of Amrish Puri, she lives in a strict and Indian traditional family. On the other hand, Raj lives with his widowed father who is a very rich man living in UK. These two meet on a European tour, after a few misadventures they fall for one another. When Simran goes home, she tells her mother about her romance in Europe and her mother knows her father will never say yes to a love marriage. Simran's father is sure of marrying his daughter to his best friends son, Kuljeet, since the two friends made this promise when Simran was born. When Raj finds out about whats happening with Simran, he follows her to Punjab and assures her somehow their marriage will happen. The plot twist that happens after can be found out by watching the movie. 

This movie is one of the classics, since it has the best love story between the best on-screen couple Sharukh and Kajol. Also this movie was the second highest grosser after the other big hit movie Hum Apke Hain Kaun. It also recently celebrated its 1,000 weeks uninterrupted at the theater Maratha Mandir in Mumbai. This is another movie that can be watched whenever and many times since this story never gets old and who could not love the chemistry between these two! This movie in my opinion receives 10/10 since it hits everything on point like the chemistry between these two, amazing performances by all including Sharukh, Kajol, Amrish Puri, Anupam Kher to list a few and the music which makes you fall in love once again. Also, the music is mind blowing and you will fall in love with them since the class couple of Sharukh and Kajol as usual shows their love in the most beautiful way in these amazing songs. 



Ek Villain (2014)

 


The movie 'Ek Villain' has Siddharth Malhotra, Shradhaa Kapoor and Ritesh Deshmukh as the main characters. This isn't the typical bollywood which have the hero and heroine as the main characters, in this movie since the love story in this movie follows a villain not the hero. This story follows around the villain, Guru who is a ruthless and tough boy who works for a politician. Since he has a dark past it doesn't let him sleep at night. After he meets Aisha, she changes his life and slowly he falls in love with her. Their love story continues until someone attacks Aisha and this is when the real plot kicks in. The question in everyone's mind is- why would someone attack her? who is the killer? This is where the plot thickens and true colours come out once again of the villain, Guru. Also to find out how the mystery unveils, you have to watch the movie.

The music is also another thing to look forward to in this movie, especially the song title Galliyan which not in the movie but there is an unplugged version sung by Shraddha which can be found above. I would give this movie an 8.5/10, it hit all the things you look for in a movie good chemistry between the lovers, amazing story, amazing performances by all main characters, soothing music and the ending is something you will love. The message teaches us more about love and sometimes the unexpected events or people we may meet along the way can mean more to us than we think. This is a movie you cannot miss, or you will regret it!

Kal Ho Na Ho (2003)

 

The movie 'Kal Ho Na Ho' has Preity Zinta, Sharukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan as the major actors. The movie is narrated by the main character Naina who is played by Preity. The story is around Preity's family who plays the role of Naina in the movie. Naina is seen as an introverted, serious girl, who is living a serious life. Her serious and introverted life is turned around when someone by the name of Aman (Sharukh) comes into her and her family's life. Aman changes her family from arguing to getting along, mainly helping Naina's mother and grandmother who argue the most. He makes Naina see life in a more positive and less negative light, she also starts to smile again. Another important person in this story is Rohit (Saif) who is Naina's best friend and he also changes with the help of Aman. Rohit falls in love with someone he thought he would never see in that way. But there is one thing which Aman is hiding from everyone and this secret can be found out by watching the movie!

The message or lesson this movie gives is that we need to live our life to the fullest because as the movie states 'Kal Ho Na Ho', meaning tomorrow may not come. This movie is also directed and produced by Karan Johar, he has done an amazing job once again. He has placed all the right actors together and they all have good chemistry especially Preity and Sharukh. I would give this movie a rating of 8.5/10. It was almost perfect, one thing I would change is a few scenes which I think were not needed and some of the dialogues should be cut out since they were unnecessary. After Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and KKKG this is my favourite movie after those two, these types of movies are ones you can watch on those rainy and gloomy days. Also, one of those movies which will never get old and I'm sure future generations to come will love it too.
