If you want to know what my most favorite romantic scene is...

[dangermousie]

Then it's most likely the famous 'gazebo' scene in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, a Bollywood movie starring the super-couple Shahrukh Khan and Kajol. (It alterntates between that and the scene in the fields in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, also starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol).

And I found it on youtube!

For those who are not familiar with KKHH, the couple in the gazebo are Anjali (Kajol) and Rahul (SRK). They have been best friends since college and she's loved him all this time but he never saw her as more than a friend. In fact he married someone else, but is now a widower (and has been for eight or so years). But then they meet again, and sparks fly, but now she is engaged to someone else. Anyway, this is an amazing scene...

The way Shahrukh Khan looks at her makes my insides turn into all sorts of butter. Guh. Like nothing else exists. Grrrr, make more movies Shahrukh! Come on, you are my favorite Bolly actor, now work work work ;) And the way Kajol looks at him? As if it's everything she's ever wanted? *dies*

I can usually narrow it down really well. And they usually involve Shahrukh Khan ;)

i think it's because my biggest OTPs in any medium tend to not always have a huge amount of romantic moments...Damo's an exception, but if i start, i'll never stop...

Oh yes, this scene and the picturization of Suraj Hua Maddham from Kabhi Khushie Kabhie Gham are my favourite romantic moments. Oh and the mustard field scene from DDLJ.

Oh GUH icon. Yes, it usually is a four way tie between those and the making out scene in Parineeta. Though generally the mustard field scene and the gazebo are tied. I just realized I have no SRK icons. Must remedy ASAP.

I just posted Suraj Hua Maddam btw :)

Bad dangermousie Though I have t admit I have cut down on my SRK icons to make room for more Kimura ones LOL

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeee. I went through a giant icon purge and replaced all of my icons with drama ones. Now I'll need to go back :)

That is absolutely the sexiest, most romantic scene in any movie, ever. I remember when I first saw it, and my heart nearly stopped. The longing, the tension, the sensuality, I was just blown away. I think every director should be forced to watch KKHH to see what romance really looks like before they ever attempt to make their own.

Watching that makes me feel like I'm in the first, exciting, throes of love again, which is what a movie like that is supposed to do. Thank you for reminding me of it.

I so agree. I don't know how it became so perfect, but it is...
