Bollywood films aren't complete without a melodramatic or sad climax, as well as a plot twist that no one saw coming. Not every film has a happy ending; some films challenge the viewer's perception of what a happy ending could be like. One will cry while smiling, and these movie endings tend to stay with us and make us think deeply about what ‘Love’ is and how its meaning has evolved through time.
From shooting each other with zero fear in their eyes to consuming poison to die in each other's arms, these Bollywood films define the true meaning of love and sacrifice, only to unite in a different world.
