15 Bollywood Romantic Comedies To Watch This Cuffing Season

The latest Ranveer Singh- and Alia Bhatt-starrer was either absolutely loved by folks, or vehemently questioned. But what did stay constant is that everyone left the theatres with a smile on their face thanks to the fact that Karan Johar managed to recreate what he's best known for — a typical Bollywood romantic-comedy. The plot follows a Bengali journalist Rani who falls in love with a flamboyant Punjabi boy Rocky, despite their obvious differences. After facing opposition from their family they decide to live with each other's family for three months before getting married, with hilarious, and often dramatic and heart-warming consequences.   

Apart from being known for the super catchy title track, this movie is all about the lives of Jay and Simran. Jay is known to hate everything about love while Simran would rather live in Disney Land. Soon, Simran falls for Jay and makes it quite evident, forcing him to deal, and come to terms with his feelings even when he's hesitant to convey them. 

YJHD is a movie that is embedded in a whole generation's minds and souls. A cult favourite, this movie follows the life of Bunny and Naina who find love, lose it, and then find it again — in each other. Naina — played by Deepika Padukone — is a studious, nerdy girl who just wants to have fun. Later, a chance meeting with her friend Aditi leads to a trip she'll remember forever and also where she meets Bunny, a boy she absolutely falls in love with — but Bunny decides not to reciprocate. Drama, romance and bits of comedy, this isn't your typical rom-com, but it will always rank high for us. 

This Ratna Pathak- and Vicky Kaushal-starrer, follows the plot of Karina and Sanjay who are in a marriage of convenience because they want to purchase their first home. What ends up happening is that they gain more than they bargained for. It's a cute, quick and fun watch. 

A classic rom-com movie that will always bring a smile to our faces. Band Baaja Baaraat follows the lives of Delhi-based youngsters Shruti and Bitto, who start a wedding-planning business. However, things get weird when Shruti falls in love with Bitto. It's heartwarming and Ranveer Singh's first movie, what's not to like?

Arguably one of Sonam Kapoor's best movies. But what we love most about this movie is how Sonam Kapoor basically plays herself as Aisha. Abhay Deol wins all our hearts with those dimples, while the soundtrack of the movie is played at every single bonfire till date! The movie follows the life of Aisha, a rich south Delhi brat and her friends, who go through life in high heels, finding love, falling out of it and everything else in between. 

One of Ayushmann Khurrana's earlier movies, Dum Laga Ke Haisha follows the lives of Prem, a school dropout who hesitantly marries an educated girl Sandhya (played by Bhumi Padnekar), and how they eventually find love in each other when Prem decides to participate in a race where he has to carry Sandhya on his back. It's cute, wholesome, and will leave you all warm and smiling. 

Icon Irrfan Khan's movie, Qarib Qarib Singlle follows the lives of Yogi and Jaya, two people with super contrasting personalities who meet via a dating app. They rediscover themselves while they also set out to revisit their past, which eventually ends up in a crazy, strange and eventful trip, involving missing trains, endless taxi rides, and several ups and downs.

This one remains one of our favourite movies of all time. This Saif Ali Khan- and Rani Mukherjee-starrer traces the lives and journey of Karan and Rhea, who meet on a flight only to begin hating each other. They continue to run into each other over the course of several years and at different stages in life. Eventually, their relationship with each other evolves and they fall in love. 

Chances are you've already seen it umpteen number of times. If you haven't, watch it now! You can't possibly give this Imtiaz Ali blockbuster a miss. Aditya, a depressed business tycoon, boards a train in an attempt to run away from life, meets the super chirpy and full-of-life Punjabi kudi Geet and gets dragged into a crazy roller coaster ride thanks to the latter, who believes in living life on her own terms.

Another slice-of-life romcom that you just can't miss. It's the story of best friends Jai and Aditi, played by Imran Khan and Genelia D'souza, who are made for each other but don't know it themselves. They refuse to get into a romantic relationship and start dating other people, only to realise that they're in love with each other. The film has several moments that'll make you laugh and cry.

Possibly our favourite R Balki film, Cheeni Kum revolves around Buddhadev Gupta, a 64-year-old chef played by Amitabh Bachchan, who falls in love with Nina (Tabu), a software engineer 30 years younger than him. The performances and simple moments in the film will warm your heart and leave you with happy tears.

Wake Up Sid, directed by Ayan Mukherjee, revolves around a rich, spoilt college-going brat named Siddharth Mehra, and an independent and responsible aspiring writer Aisha, who meet each other at a party and hit it off instantly. Siddharth (Ranbir Kapoor) learns to become more responsible thanks to his ambitious friend, played efforlessly by Konkona Sen Sharma.
