Valentine’s Day special: 5 movies that celebrate romance in a different way

If you are in no mood to step out to join the Valentine's Day revelry and have a plan to spend a cosy evening with your beloved at home itself, we have a plan for you! How about a movie marathon? No, we are not suggesting you the same old list of Bollywood's most romantic films, but some recent romantic flicks that celebrate love. Here goes the list:

1. Barfi!
Trust - isn't this emotion bigger than love? Illeana D’Criuz was deeply in love with Ranbir Kapoor, but it was Priyanka Chopra who trusted him for life. That little emotion at the helm of this complex film managed to stand out only because trust is what matters in love at the end of the day.

Watch out for: Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra's silent romance

2. Goliyon Ki Raas Leela: Ram Leela
Who says two fiery souls, who are as much lusting for each other as much they are in love, can't make an exemplary love story? Ram Leela, played by Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone proves yet again that if true love has the power to move mountains, it also has the courage to end itself for the sake of others.

Watch out for: The quirky one-liners of the lead pair

3. 2 States
This one is a must watch if you are dating a girl from a different culture, and are looking forward to marry her too. Trust us, you'll get many ideas to develop the patience required to deal with the differences and stuff that will help you impress the in-laws.

Watch out for: The steamy stuff – it’s equally hot in every culture ;) (wink)

4. Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai
This one is pretty old, but it tells you a very simple lesson of love: Love means acceptance. And the way Twinkle forgives all flaws of Salman Khan and even accepts his illegitimate child is quite moving. It might take a lot of courage but one forgiveness can win you loads of love from your partner.

Watch out for: Amazing songs

5. Lamhe
Directed by late Yash Chopra, this movie was way ahead of its times. All about a young girl falling in love with a man double her age, Lamhe can never age. Age is just a number when you are in love, and that's exactly what the film starring, Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, celebrated.

Watch out for: Sridevi!
