Epic romances are a thing of the past. Phrases like 'one woman man' and 'one man woman' are better left for another era. Romance today celebrates beauty and attraction in a slightly hatke manner.
Dying for a single person is not today's style. Lately, dating has broken out of its closet and came out with horns blaring. That is what movies are also representing. Many couples out there are choosing their own life partners. However, many more out there are simply choosing a partner in crime. The recently released film Romance in Telugu is a funny take off from reality in the present generation. Boys still want virgins for girlfriends and girls still want a rich guy for a boyfriend. What has changed is the number of times this is happening in a single lifetime.
Here is another story, much like Romance, from Yash Raj Films. Shuddh Desi Romance seems to take the trend forward.
The movie's song 'Tere mere beech mein kya hain' is peppy and full of naughty energy that brings a quick smile every time you hear it. The mood is unapolegetic and khulke. Romance is truly a king when it comes to taking people's attention. It's probably why Wildstone took the romance way to sell their stuff. The recent video for Wildstone soap with Purab shirtless is quite an attention grabber.
He looks hot and the girls are charmed. It is not clear who is having more fun in the song, the boys or the girls. From the girls' perspective, it was interesting to watch an ad for a soap with the theme of a seducing deodorant or even a condom. Celebrating romance? By all means!
