5 Hindi movies and series on Netflix, Prime Video and Zee5 that redefine finding the one: Laapataa Ladies to Band Baaja Baaraat

Love isn’t only about big gestures or passionate declarations; it’s found in the small moments too. The support, compassion, and understanding are what truly make relationships extraordinary. Whether you believe it’s fate or mere coincidence, Bollywood has depicted some lovely shades of relationships. Here are five films and series that beautifully showcase the journey of finding ‘the one’.

1. Laapataa Ladies

Where to watch: Netflix

Kiran Rao’s film “Laapataa Ladies” is a moving and introspective piece that explores themes of love, decisions, and dedication. Starring Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, and Sparsh Shrivastava, this movie was India’s chosen entry for the Oscars in 2025.

The narrative takes an unforeseen twist as two brides inadvertently swap positions on a train, leading to an emotionally charged yet comical journey. Instead of opting for the simple solution, Deepak Kumar (portrayed by Sparsh Shrivastava) is resolute in tracking down his bride Phool (Nitanshi Goel), all while ensuring that Jaya (played by Pratibha Ranta) makes it back home safely.

The movie Hasee Toh Phasee beautifully illustrates how love can blossom in the most surprising circumstances. This film is the creation of Vinil Mathew, and it focuses on two main characters: Nikhil (played by Sidharth Malhotra), a kind-hearted individual stuck in a one-sided romance, and Meeta (portrayed by Parineeti Chopra), an unconventional yet charming woman.

As Nikhil stands on the brink of marrying Meeta’s sibling, an irresistible affection for Meeta takes hold of him, leading him to abandon his upcoming nuptials in favor of being with her. This demonstrates that love isn’t just about grand gestures, but rather it’s about offering emotional support and understanding.

2016’s heartwarming romantic tragedy, Sanam Teri Kasam, has carved a unique niche in viewers’ hearts. The film, featuring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, has once again graced the big screen, reigniting its powerful emotional impact.

The movie primarily focuses on the dynamic between Inder and Saru, a love that endures through trials, sorrow, and even reunions with long-lost parents. Fundamentally, it portrays a profound truth: authentic love is not contingent upon perfection, but rather upon unyielding support and selflessness.

Band Baaja Baaraat, a film by Maneesh Sharma, beautifully illustrates how the universe may subtly guide us towards our significant others in unique and unexpected manners.

In this movie, Bittoo, portrayed by Ranveer Singh, and Shruti, played by Anushka Sharma, embark on a venture of starting a wedding planning company together. As their professional bond strengthens, it transforms into a profound friendship, eventually blossoming into love. The tale illustrates that the strongest relationships are rooted in mutual admiration, joint aspirations, and the bravery to seize opportunities.

Where to watch: Prime Video

In the movie “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan,” helmed by director Ali Abbas Zafar, we witness a harmonious mix of love and fate. The character Kush (played by Imran Khan) initially intends to find an ideal bride for his brother, but unexpectedly finds himself smitten by her instead.

In this delightful rom-com, Katrina Kaif beautifully embodies the carefree Dimple, while Ali Zafar charms as Luv. Filled with laughter, touching scenes, and a sweet lesson that love occasionally surprises us at unexpected times, it’s an enchanting tale of love and serendipity.
