Are you spending Valentine's Day at home with your loved one?
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may have lessened, but one still worries about stepping out for a date.
Well, the OTT platforms have got your covered!
Joginder Tuteja lists 10 romantic movies playing on OTT that you can watch with your date.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Where to watch: Netflix
Love, drama, music, locations, visuals, moments, performances and a lot of romance.
Everything looks perfect in this Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone love story that had a record run at the box office.
The film stays on to be hugely popular on the small screen too as audiences can't get enough of this Ayan Muherji directorial.
Bajirao Mastani
Where to watch: EROS Now
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic love story was a hit on the big screen and went on to find eyeballs on the small screen as well.
The film starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, is stacked with emotions and deserves a watch.
Tanu Weds Manu Returns
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
One of the most entertaining romantic films to have come out of Bollywood, Director Aanand L Rai's Tanu Weds Manu Returns is among the most popular.
If R Madhavan brought in his characteristic charm, two Kangana Ranauts ensured double the fun.
Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
Before they came together in Bajirao Mastani, Ranveer and Deepika were terrific in the tragic love story, Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela.
The film had the right mix of traditional styling in a contemporary set-up, something only Sanjay Leela Bhansali could have done.
The chartbuster music enhanced it further.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
The Channa Mereya song can bring tears to one's eyes even now.
At the time of its release, this Karan Johar film had clashed with Ajay Devgn's Shivaay, as a result of which the business was divided.
Over a period of time, this Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma starrer has found its due.
2 States
Where to watch: Disney + Hotstar
One of the most beautiful romantic dramas set in contemporary India with a campus set up, 2 States is relatable on many levels.
Many can also identify with the inter-state love story.
Performances by Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt and music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are top notch.
Pati Patni Aur Woh
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
A romantic comedy which has a 'pati' (Kartik Aaryan) having a loving 'patni' (Bhumi Pednekar) at home and still falling for a 'woh' (Ananya Panday), this Mudassar Aziz directed film makes for a breezy watch.
The music is peppy and the overall narrative is charming enough to make sure that you have the smiles on.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
A Shah Rukh Khan starrer that deserves a lot more love than what it has got since its release a decade ago, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi boasts of an interesting plot that must have been quite a task to pull off.
Still, Director Aditya Chopra had conviction in the film's story and Khan pulled it off with Anushka Sharma.
De De Pyaar De
Where to watch: Disney + Hotstar
<
What happens when the girl you fall in love with is half your age?
Well, Yash Chopra tried that with Lamhe, but first-time director Akiv Ali told the story in a funny, and yet not frivolous, way.
Ajay Devgn, Rakul Preet Singh and Tabu are fun to watch in De De Pyaar De.
Kabir Singh
Where to watch: Netflix
The highest grossing romantic entertainer ever is playing on Netflix.
The kind of love story that was seen in this Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer wasn't seen in a Bollywood film before, and a lot of audiences did not agree with it.
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga made sure that the chartbuster music complimented the romance and heartbreak on screen.
