Indian films about love. List of the best

Indian films about love have long become a separate and quite popular genre, which has its own characteristics and traditional moments that distinguish it from all others. In addition, the specificity of Indian cinema as a whole has a great influence on the structure of the Indian film.

Indispensable components

The details that are inherent in Indian cinema in general and which necessarily have all the Indian films about love are the following:

- the presence of an additional storyline within the main storyline, retreats and additional stories other than the main storyline;

- the influence of a typical Indian dramatic tradition, making singing and dancing an integral part of the story told;

- rather conditional and implausible plot, which aims to convey to the viewer a very specific idea, and not tell him a consistent story.

"Love" features

At the same time romantic Indian cinema, i.e. Indian films about love, have their own key moments:

- most of Indian paintings about love refers to the genre of melodrama;

- The traditional Indian film has a good end with the reunion of lovers after much suffering;

- in the plot of the Indian film about love, a woman is in a more emancipated position than in other Indian films.

Spiritual orientation

India is considered one of the most spiritual countries in the world, and the spiritual orientation is a generally accepted and unshakable mark of quality, which is enjoyed by all, without exception, Indian films about love. In such pictures, truth, true love and beauty always win. European viewers with a coarsened soul, spoiled and oversaturated with American films, it is difficult to appreciate the offspring of the cinema of India, because you need to be able to see the unforgettable beauty of the surrounding world. For example, almost unceasing songs and dances for the uninitiated seem ridiculous naivety, but it is through them that the billion- people of India feel and convey the emotional background of what is happening in the film.
