It should be mandatory for all Bollywood hits to have an Epilogue or at least a reference in the director's next movie about what the characters from the previous movie are upto years after the events of the movie.
Like I wanna know how Aditya Kashyap and Geet are doing 15 years into their marriage and if they ended up buying a house in the hills. I wanna know how Prem and Jenny from Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani are doing and if Prem made her VP of the Happy Club. I wanna know if Aisha and Sid from Wake Up Sid! ended up marrying and if she published her own book with his photography on its cover. If Aditi and Jai from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na have kids who they teach the steps of Pappu Can't Dance? If Kavya and Humpty Sharma moved to the US eventually and opened their own wedding gown/lehenga shop. What country Naina and Bunny from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani are currently in. Did Om Kapoor end up marrying Sandy after Om Shanti Om? Or does he visit the burned site to meet Shanti everyday? So many questions.

It just feels like Bollywood isn't even trying to make heartfelt romantic drama movies anymore like the ones with poetic dialogues and life changing trips and soulmatism and having the Desi elements but also the modern context we live in and the dissection of human relationships and emotions like!!!!!!!!
I feel like it's been years since I've watched something like that maybe that's why so many of us gravitate towards kdramas instead.
BOLLYWOOD YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!!!

Genre: Thriller, Crime, Biographical
Plot: Indian Revolutionary Udham Singh wants to avenge those lost in Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.
Starring: Vicky Kaushal, Banita Sandhu, Amol Parashar, Kristy Averton, Shaun Scott.
Notes from me: The acting done by Vicky Kaushal as the titular character is absolutely phenomenal and just tugs at your heartstrings, also the last 40 minutes are absolutely tear jerking.
2. Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na
Length: 2h 35 minutes
Genre: Rom-Com, Slice-of-life
Plot: BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS!!! Two bestfriends Jai and Aditi are obliviously in love with each other until they start dating other people.

3. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

3. Haider
Length: 2h 40 minutes
Genre: Drama, Thriller, Action
Plot: An adaptation of the Shakespearean play Hamlet set in modern day Jammu & Kashmir. Haider returns to Jammu & Kashmir to find closure for his father’s death, but the states’ politics situation overpower him.
Starring: Shahid Kapoor, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon, Irrfan Khan
Note: A great movie which does not just portray Kashmir as this “beautiful picturesque scenery” but the harsh political reality of this fractured state, which is not easy to portray. This, in my opinion is one of the best acting performance of Shahid Kapoor’s career. Tabu as always SHINES (she should be stored in a gold vault istg), Kay Kay Menon steals the show with his perfectly sinister portrayal of Haider’s Uncle.
4. Kapoor & Sons
Length: 2h 12 minutes
Genre: Drama, Slice-Of-Life
Plot: Two brothers Arjun and Rahul return home to Conoor to visit their ailing Grandfather. During this stay the entire family discovers just how dysfunctional and fractured their relationships are.
Starring: Fawad Khan, Sidarth Malhotra, Rishi Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shah, Rajat Kapoor
Note: Albeit a slow 20 minutes in the start, the movie really engages you and makes you uncover the aspects of the Kapoor family with them and makes you realise just how broken and tired of the façade of happiness they truly are.
6. Guzaarish
Length: 2 hours
Genre: Drama, Romance
Plot: Former renowned magician Ethan Mascarenhas is quadriplegic and expresses his guzaarish (request) for euthanasia.
Starring: Hritik Roshan, Aishwariya Rai, Aditya Roy Kapur

Note: TABU!!! Her portrayal of Simi, the wife of the film actor is so good and entrancing. Ayushmann in the film’s climax shines. The plot twists are chefs kiss.
