Sanam Teri Kasam [2016]

"Inder log saath saath isliye nahi rehte kyuki voh bhul jate hai log saath isliye rehte hai kyuki voh maaf kar dete hai." — Saru Sanam teri kasam.
Inder people don't stay together because they forget; people stay together because they forgive.

I've always been a huge fan of Sanam Teri Kasam. Not only is it a beautifully executed film, but it has also earned a special place in my heart for its deeply emotional storyline. The chemistry between Saru and Inder is nothing short of spectacular, and their love story, though tragic, is one that resonates. Each time I watch the film, I find myself shedding a few tears, captivated by their journey and the heartfelt message that forgiveness is key in any relationship. Despite its overwhelming sadness, I wish more people would give this masterpiece a chance. The performance by the lead actors, the compelling script, and the poignant music all contribute to an unforgettable experience.

Aashiqui 2 [2013]

Main aaine mai apna chehra bhul sakta hu tumhara kabhi nahi. — Rahul Jaykar Aashiqui 2.
I can forget my face in a mirror, but never yours.

When I first watched Aashiqui 2, my initial impression was of a sweet love story. However, life came with unexpected twists, and watching their heart-crushing love story took me on an emotional rollercoaster. Despite the tragic ending, I still hold a deep affection for the characters and the storyline. While the ending left me feeling deeply moved, it is understandable why some viewers might find it difficult to revisit. The powerful performances and emotive narrative make it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a strong emotional connection.

Me Before You [2016]

William Traynor Me before you.
Though I couldn't finish this movie, I regret stopping it halfway. Me Before You is a marvelously crafted film that tells a beautiful but tragic love story. The premise of a love-by-proxy is fascinating, and the film’s exploration of love, loss, and compassion is profoundly moving. I wish I could finish the movie and fully appreciate its nuances, but the ending I discovered on Instagram did leave me with a sense of closure without the need to re-watch the entire story. The performances, particularly Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke, are top-notch, and the storyline is rich with emotional depth.

If you're in the mood to cry, any of the above movies will undoubtedly hit the spot and provide a bittersweet experience. They are perfect for a rainy day or when you're seeking solace in the depths of human emotion.
