From Yash Chopra to Karan Johar: 6 filmmakers who gave us Bollywood’s most memorable love stories

1.Yash Chopra

Yash Chopra shaped Bollywood romance with heartwarming stories. His masterpiece Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge starring SRK and Kajol remains India’s ultimate love story, still running in theatres after decades.

 

2.Karan Johar

Karan Johar’s debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai changed how youth saw love and friendship. The line “Pyaar dosti hai” from SRK, Kajol, and Rani’s emotional triangle became iconic for every ’90s kid.

 

3.Imtiaz Ali

Imtiaz Ali gave us one of the most feel-good yet meaningful love stories. Jab We Met became a modern cult favourite, so much so that it returned to theatres and got the same love all over again.

 

4.Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao

Sanam Teri Kasam didn’t get noticed during its release but found love later. Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane’s tragic romance got a new life with its re-release and is now a must-watch for heartbreak lovers.

 

5.Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Before grand sets, Bhansali made Khamoshi: The Musical,  a heartfelt love story about music, silence, and soul. Salman Khan and Manisha Koirala’s emotional journey remains one of his finest early works.

 

6.Sooraj Barjatya

Sooraj Barjatya made one of Bollywood’s most innocent and touching love stories with Maine Pyar Kiya. The film launched Salman Khan and captured the hearts of the 90s generation with its message of loyalty, friendship, and first love.
