    October: Available on Prime Video, October features Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu in a story that barely raises its voice. It isn’t about grand love confessions, but about care, waiting, and feelings that grow in silence.

    Qarib Qarib Singlle: Streaming on Netflix, this road-trip romance stars Irrfan and Parvathy Thiruvothu. It feels refreshingly adult, a little awkward, and surprisingly warm.

    Tamasha: Streaming on Netflix, Tamasha stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Marketed as a rom-com, it quietly becomes a story about identity, performance, and what it means to love someone without losing yourself.

    Lootera: You can watch Lootera on Prime Video, with Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha leading this aching, slow-burn romance. It moves gently, almost cautiously, letting longing and regret sit in the frame.

    The Lunchbox: Streaming on Netflix, this gentle romance stars Irrfan, Nimrat Kaur, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Built around handwritten letters and missed connections, it unfolds quietly and almost unexpectedly, like something you realise you needed only after it ends.
