We run to Bollywood for every sort of inspiration, don’t we? With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we thought of taking cues from our favourite romantic movies for date night ideas…take a look. Get inspired: 

The 5-minute date: 

Even though the scene itself is borrowed from American hit series ‘How I Met Your Mother’, the 5-minute date sequence sure makes for an adorable date idea. Especially if you’re asking out someone for the first time. You don’t have to go all out in the expenditure department as a simple, yet striking date can make all the difference. 

Arjun Kapoor’s witty proposal: 

This would work, especially in India where families have more say in our life partners. Just like Krish Malhotra from 2 States who says ‘Main Ab Sab Se Shaadi Karna Chahta Hoon’ to Ananya aka Alia Bhatt’s family, you can try this one out on your lover’s family if you’re planning to take the plunge. Even otherwise, it’s a witty way to ask for their permission for a date if your lover is from a conservative family. When they say yes, go to the nearest beach just like the duo and indulge in some yummy street food! 

Ranveer Singh’s confession: 

If you’re not a typical romantic type, but want to confess your love and take the love of your life out on a date, pull off Ranveer aka Bitto’s monologue from his debut flick Band Baaja Baraat. What another way to show your genuine love than mixing emotions and passion in it? You should follow it up with a haveli-style dinner just like the movie. 

A Vivah-style walk: 

If you and your partner is entering into an arranged marriage, we suggest that you take them out on a Vivah-style walk date where you get to know each other. You can take inspiration from Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao on acing the date like soulmates-in-the-making. 

SRK’s romantic gesture in OSO: 

Trust Shah Rukh Khan to melt a woman’s heart with sweet gestures. As a simpleton in Om Shanti Om, he woos the reigning queen of Bollywood Shanti Priya aka Deepika Padukone with a cinemascope-type date. Is it any wonder that the song ‘Tumko Paaya Hai’ and the glass figurine from the scene are bonafide V-Day delights? 

How are you planning to woo your love? Let us know!
