As Valentine’s Day is approaching for lovers to celebrate, why not celebrate it in Bollywood style? What better way to commemorate this genre’s drama, passion, and magic than with a fresh red rose bouquet for your lover?
Bollywood is well-known for delivering huge romance, sensational melodies, and extraordinary gestures of love that could be used for Valentine’s Day. Your ultimate V-Day 2024 guide: Bollywood-style suggestions are mentioned below.
So what are you waiting for, hold the hand of your beloved and dive into the cinematic symbol of love!
Dress to Impress
Glamour is a significant part of Bollywood, and attention should be paid to dressing up as a whole to have the complete experience.
Therefore, ladies should pick beautiful sarees and eye-catching Anarkali suits and style them with accessories.
A little spice of glitz and glamour goes a long way in adding extra flavor, which is much needed for romantic couples.
FUN TIP For couples who love adventure, plan a surprise camping trip in a secluded location, create a bonfire, and enjoy singing Bollywood hit songs like, ‘mere haath mein, tera haath ho’.
Set the Mood with Music
Make a compilation of top love songs that are your beloved’s favorite. Nowadays, various remix options can transform even a car into the most romantic place.
The music takes you from the classic to evergreen, just before starting the ambiance of the romantic night.
Movie Marathon
What’s B-town without its films? Organize a film screening with timeless, old-school romances or new romantic blockbusters.
Bollywood provides several films that can make you fall in love, including the eternal love story of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Devdas.
Propose on a Train
Take a local train early in the day on V-Day, and you might search for inspiration from the movie Saathiya ‘s scene where Vivek Oberoi proposes.
Take advantage of the rhythmic movement of the train and the world flying by as you proclaim your wish to live together forever. Carry with you a bunch of bright red flowers to capture this chapter in the history of your romance.
In a relationship with your partner, you shall go through the same experience as the train goes on its journey. It will give a hint of the beautiful adventure to come.
Sing A Beautiful Song
Similarly, you will go out of your comfort zone to sing things that have never been sung before as you convey your love to a loved one, as Imran Khan did in the film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na to Genelia D’Souza.
Prepare yourself because it could be difficult as it can cause you to stir different emotions or lead someone to request silence with their tender voice.
However, is it possible that there could be anything more enthralling than going into the unknown in pursuit of the enchantment of your lover to make her feel loved indeed on every exceptional occasion?
The graph below shows the most popular V-Day gifts given in 2022. These are special for every occasion and every year, as they can be easily personalized.
Dance the Night Away
Any party would only be complete with dancing! Woo your partner using iconic Bollywood dance songs.
Feel free to bring the energy of dance sequences, from energetic beats to romantic sway to your night out or date night.
Movie Night Under the Stars
Consider going for a picnic with your love celebration, assuming the weather is good enough. Arrange an outside screening with fairy lights and cushions under the moonlight.
The two of you can also watch a romantic Bollywood film while it is being projected on a screen and, at the same time, get involved in the magic of movies.
Plan a Surprise Flash Mob
Have a Bollywood-styled flash mob as a little surprise. Arrange for friends and relatives to choreograph a dance to a medley mix of love songs.
This is a bright and festive way to express love as a surprise, much like how impromptu dance in Hindi films.
GIFT TIP Sustainable gifts are the best for every occasion as they are cost-effective as well as harmless to the environment.
Personalized Bollywood-Inspired Gifts
Surprise your sweetheart with the most beautiful Valentine’s Day gift in Hollywood.
It could be personalized merchandise from their favorite movie or a loving gesture from a favorite scene they can remember.
Imagine having a personalized jewelry piece in the style of a B-town actor or a handwritten love letter like in the movies.
Romantic Getaway
Couples who want a magic change could make V-Day memorable by listening to good music and touring for hours in sweetheart company.
Enjoy a cozy private weekend getaway set against the quiet ambiance of a mountain range, along the calming beach, or even somewhere special and intimate near your loved ones’ hearts.
Surprise your better half with travel to the place they have dreamed of, and turn this Valentine’s into a surprising and memorable present for them.
Capture the Moments
Finally, take photos and record a video of your Bollywood-inspired love affair. Enjoy experiences that will last a lifetime. Take snapshots of all those little things imprinted on you: dressing up, dancing, cooking together—capture it all, capture an imprint on you.
Celebrating Valentine’s Day in India adds to your romantic adventure. Experience the world of Bollywood. Dress like a star, dance to your favorite hits, and relive your memories from your favorite movies. However, Bollywood always shows us love is about a beautiful, exquisite, and grand journey!
