It’s Valentine’s Day, the perfect excuse for a romantic movie marathon. Here are some of the best lovey-dovey Bollywood flicks available for streaming on Netflix.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)
I could write an entire post about Shahrukh Khan romances on Netflix, given his fondness for the genre. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a more recent SRK romantic-comedy than Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, but it’s hard to resist watching him woo Kajol in a true classic. My review
Veer-Zaara (2004)
If you’re in the mood for a more somber SRK romance, watch him love and lose Preity Zinta in Veer-Zaara. Rani Mukerji plays a lawyer who tries to reunite the lovers across borders.
Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011)
As for romances starring actors other than SRK, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is a light-hearted rom-com. Imran Khan plays matchmaker for his brother, Ali Zafar, only to fall in love with Katrina Kaif, the woman he’s chosen to be his brother’s bride. Fun dance numbers and sweet characters make this a really enjoyable film. My review
Band Baaja Baaraat (2010)
If you’re looking for flashy dance numbers, then Band Baaja Baaraat is where it’s at. For two wedding planners — played by Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh — getting down is part of the job. The relationship drama ramps up in the second half, but overall, this movie is a lot of fun. My review
Shuddh Desi Romance (2013)
Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra, and Vaani Kapoor find themselves in a love triangle in Shuddh Desi Romance, a funny, clever film about modern romance in India. My review
Kismat Konnection (2008)
Vidya Balan and Shahid Kapoor are lauded these days for their gripping dramatic performances, but back in 2008, they made a romantic comedy together. It’s worth checking out these seasoned thespians in some lighter fare from earlier in their careers. My review
How about 2 States and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai getting an Honorable Mention?
Good suggestions, Mike. It’s a bummer that they aren’t available for streaming on Netflix.
Silsila, Dil to Pagal Hai?
Good choices, too, but this list only contains movies presently available for streaming on Netflix in the U.S. Did I miss any good ones in the current Netflix catalog?

I think these are pretty decent choices too: Dostana, I Hate Luv Storys, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Jab We Met
Chandni, Jab We Met, Rab ne bana di jodi!
