Priyanka Chopra: "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge tops the list of my favourite romantic films, followed closely by Maine Pyar Kiya, Casablanca and Love Story (the Ryan On-Neal-Ali MacGraw starrer).Dino Morea: Casablanca & Gone With The Wind—"I like both equally …not much of a choice between the two. They both exude an old-world romance superbly. The acting is uniformly charming, Notting Hill: "Love the idea of a fan following in love with a star. Wish it happened with me."
Anari, Chandni, Sangam—"Love the first for the Raj Kapoor-Nutan chemisty, and Chandni for Mr Yash Chopra's intense romanticism. Sangam was so passionate. No one understood love and passion better than Mr Raj Kapoor…Among recent romantic films Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge tops the list.
Irffan Khan: "Satyajit Ray's Apur Sansar for its supreme story-telling……The Russian film Cranes Are Flying for its treatment, Kadal in Tamil for its songs, casting and direction. Autograph in Tamil for its narrative simplicity.
In Hindi my favourite romantic films are Amar Prem and Kati Patang for the oh-so-charming Mr Rajesh Khanna,, Pakeezah for its songs scale and Meena Kumari, Devdas for Dilip Kumar, Guide for its excellent song picturizations and performances… and Maqbool for subjective reasons.
Urmila Matondkar: Gone With The Wind for its passion, drama, pain and triumph. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ) for its innocence and the sheer magic of falling in love.
Amrita Rao: DDLJ for that whole concept of destined soul mates…Shah Rukh Khan coming over to India to win over Kajol when she was getting married, was so cute…and their onscreen chemistry rocked!....
Rangeela, the roadside romeo Munna's love for the wannabe star Mili was enchanting….Maine Pyar Kiya is one of the most romantic films I've ever seen..the whole idea of Suman (Bhagyashree) coming to live in Prem (Salman)'s house was so touching, innocent and pure…
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam because it said sometimes we fall in love but the screenplay of destiny has some other plans. Finally, Ishq Vishq….for personal reason (smiles).
Sammir Dattani: Titanic—"I sang the theme song 'My heart will go on' to my first girlfriend over and over again, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam: "Sanjay Bhansali is my most favourite director and this films tells you love isn't about self-fulfilment but sacrifice…and of course Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge: "I can watch Shah Rukh-Kajol's chemistry forever, and a day."
Sanjay Gupta: "Girl Meets Boy & Overcomes Hurdles never appealed to me. I think the true test of love begins post-marriage or post your 30s. My choice of romantic films isn't your typical love stories. But to me they're all about love…Pyaasa, Guide, Tere Mere Sapne, Abhimaan, Arth and of course my all-time favourite Aandhi.
Amrita Arora: Maine Pyar Kiya, and only Maine Pyar Kiya. Saw it 18-20 times. Still cry whenever I watch it.
Arshad Warsi: "My favourite romantic film is DDLJ. It was fun but not frivolous. I loved the relationship shared between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. I felt their emotions touch me and wanted them to be together."
