Check out these Bollywood romantic drama films you can watch and fall in love with the genre all over again.

If there’s one genre that Indian films do best, it is the genre of romantic dramas. So, if you liked

My Best Friend’s Wedding and Notting Hill while growing up, you can also watch a great deal of romantic comedy films back home.

Adding to the list is Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Deverakonda’s latest film Kushi, which witnessed a wonderful opening of ₹16 crore in theatres on Friday, September 1, when it released. The film opened to positive reviews and collected around ₹10 crore each on Saturday and Sunday. The film, which releases in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, is a romantic comedy directed by Shiva Nirvana. Its several romantic numbers like Na Rojaa Nuvve, Aradhya, Yedhaki Oka Gaayam, Osi Pellama and the Kushi title song have impressed the audience and the critics alike.

Watch the trailer here:

It cannot go unnoticed that the film comes after Samantha's film Shaakuntalam and Vijay's Liger failed to rake in numbers at the box office.
