Valentine’s Day is when love is in the air, but so is COVID-19. So this year, consider ditching crowded restaurants and public places, and spend some quality time with bae indoors. Because the vaccine might be here, but the pandemic is far from over, so staying home is our only bet at staying safe. Plus, let’s face it…there’s nothing better than curling up in the arms of the love of your life with some drinks and snakcs. But finding that perfect rom-com to watch is not easy!
We all could list loads of chick flicks for a girls night in, but finding one that does not bore your partner, is a HUGE task! And if you’re struggling to find that perfect film, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of our favourite romantic films to watch this Valentine’s Day while you cuddle with your significant other (S.O.).
1. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
We’ve seen it and we’ve loved it, but there’s no way we can get over chashmish Naina’s bold moves and Bunny who set #TravelGoals for all of us. TBH, we just can’t have enough of Naina and Bunny aka Kabir Thapar’s fun banter and their romance! And we’re absolutely sure this movie will give you those utterly romantic moments when you’ll want to give each other a kiss or maybe more *wink*
2. Jab We Met
Talkative Geet and a heartbroken Aditya made for the perfect couple and we just can’t get enough of them! From main apni favourite hoon to bachpan se hi na, mujhe shaadi karne ka bahut craze hai, by god, this film made us fall in love with the one-liners. And this Bollywood rom-com is a classic case of opposites attract which makes it the perfect Valentine’s Day binge-watch.
3. Band Baaja Baraat
This film tells the story of what happens when you mix business with pleasure but it also strikes an instant chord in your heart. From hilarious twists and turns to an unexpected romance to the drama that ensues, Band Baaja Baraat is a total rom-com package which is perfect for your lazy Valentine’s afternoon with your S.O.
4. 2 States
He’s from North and she’s from South but love knows no boundaries! A love story with loads of drama and the typical North Indian-South Indian banter, this film has it all. It’s pretty much every desi love story after the parents meet. But we know love conquers all. Based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel by the same name, this film captures the true essence of love and makes for the perfect Valentine’s Day watch.
5. Befikre
This film is all about a modern-day romance or rather a fling which eventually turns into a full-blown romance. This Bollywood film celebrates love, passion and heartbreak, all in one package. Your Valentine’s Day movie date night is incomplete without this movie.
6. What Happens In Vegas
We just have to say that this film is our absolute favourite! A trip to Vegas, a thrilling night, a jackpot and a drunken accidental marriage can lead to a lot of drama when a couple has to just stay together for the jackpot. This film is full of drama, chaos and hilarious moments and we promise it will leave you and your bae ROFLing the night away.
7. Friends With Benefits
Yeah, we all know it never works and this film is the proof! This film is about two people who decide to be ‘just friends’ but with some uh *sexy* benefits but it just leads to the inevitable romance and the drama that comes after it.
8. 27 Dresses
This film is about love, heartbreak, clothes and weddings! Jane has been a bridesmaid 27 times but what happens when her younger sister announces her engagement to the man she loves? While at the same time, Jane meets a journalist who has a trick up his sleeve. If you haven’t watched this film yet, Valentine’s Day would be a good time to check it off your list.
9. Crazy Stupid Love
After an unexpected request for divorce from his wife of 20 years, a heartbroken middle-aged man, Cal, forms an unlikely friendship with a man who helps him jump back in the market. With a gripping plot and loads of drama, chaos and romance, this film is totally worth a watch.
10. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days
What if you had to write a column on how to lose a guy in 10 days while you meet a man who has been challenged to woo a girl in 10 days? While Benjamin tries to make Andie fall in love, the lady in question does her best to drive him away but who will succeed?
There’s no beating classics like The Notebook and Titanic, but we all need a dose of laughter on this day of love! So, here’s to hoping ya’ll have a happy Valentine’s Day!
