It doesn’t matter if you’re single, in a relationship, or if it’s complicated. We all want our one life-defining romantic movie moment.
That moment where the violins start playing, everything goes in slow motion, people start cheering and songs are being sung in the background by a mysterious playback singer.
So here are 6 iconic movie proposals the kind of which we all dream.
1. Pretty Woman
“So what happens after he climbs the tower to rescue her?”
2. Jaane Tu Ya jaane Na
If anything that screams Bollywood it would be a white horse, an airport proposal and a classic old song. Jay and Aditi (Genelia D’Souza) are guilty of this proposal when the movie climaxes with Jay (Imaran Khan) running through the airport, getting tackled down by security and then singing “Tera mujhse hai hai pehle ka nata koi…” for his lady love.
3. 10 Things I Hate About You
If someone sang Sinatra’s ‘I Love You Baby’ while the school band backed him up, when I was in school, I’d swoon. This movie has one of the most iconic scenes where in an attempt to apologize and win over Kat’s (Julia Stiles) heart, Pat (Heath Ledger) serenades her. Of course, she says ‘Yes!’
4. Yeh Jawani Hai Dewaani
Ayan Mukherjee (Ranbir Kapoor) made everyone want to pack a bag and explore the globe. His lady love in the movie Naina (Deepika Padukone) and he were portrayed as opposites with differing outlooks on life. However, things change for good when they reunite after years. The reunion of course led to some cliche love realisation for Bunny when he showed up at her doorstep on New Year’s Eve with balloons and a cake, proposing to her with a fake ring.
5. Harry Met Sally
“When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible!”
6. Notting Hill
“I am just as a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her”
