- Taqdeerein badal jaati hai, zamana badal jaata hai, mulkon ki tarikh badal jaati hai, Shahenshah badal jaate hai … magar is badalti hui duniya mein mohabbat jis insaan ka daaman thaam leti hai … woh insaan nahi badalta – Mughal-e-Azam
This lovely quote, sigh.
And just for the moment- this:
- Aap ke paon dekhey… bahut haseen hain, inhen zameen par mat utariyega, maile ho jayengey. – Pakeezah
Makes you swooooon.
And just for the memory, this:
- Tumhara naam maine sirf apne jism par hi nahi… apne dil, apne dimag aur apni aatma par bhi gaad diya hai. – Aashiqui (1990)
Intense… but works, right?
And because we cannot remember a Bhatt camp movie without remembering the music that remains in hearts forever, this:
- Tum hansti ho to main hansta hoon, tum roti ho toh main rota hoon aur jab pyaar hota hai na toh dil ko chot pahunchti hai. – Maine Pyaar Kiya
Exactly how it should be! No?
And no matter how archaic notions this movie propagated- right from ‘ek ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahi ho sakte’ to ‘dosti mein no sorry, no thank you,’ we kinda love the Rajshree feels- coz yeh pagla hai, samjhaane se samjhe na..
- Agar tum mujhe yun hi dekhte rahoge … to mujhe tumse pyar ho jayega phir se! Aur tumhe nahi hoga phir se.. – Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
This heart breaking kind of love.
- Woh baat joh lafzo mein ada ho jaye … woh baat hi kya hui. – Veer Zaara
This wordless kind of love.
And then again, the same love that speaks simply… and says ‘sarhad paar ek aisa shaqs hai jo aapke liye apni jaan bhi de sakta hai…’ <melt>
- Pyar dosti hai. Agar wo meri sabse achi dost nahin ban sakti toh main use kabhi pyar kar hi nahin sakta. – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

This friendship wala pyaar!
Now c’mon admit it already- we all fell for it when SRK said it…pyaar dosti hai…
- Pyar hum dono ne kiya … magar tadapna sirf mere naseeb mein aaya. – Naseeb
Ah, we’ve all experienced this one. Coz we can’t help but ask our stars what the fault is, okay? Okay? Okay. Okay..
- Main tumhe bhool jaoon yeh ho nahin sakta aur tum mujhe bhool jao yeh main hone nahi doonga. – Dhadkan
That unforgetful kind of pyaar.
- Maana ki tu ek insaan hai sari duniya ke liye … magar sari duniya hai kisi ek insaan ke liye – Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Sathiyo
When in love, your world shrinks into that one person your heart beats for!

- Main jab bhi aap ko dekhta hoon mujhe Rab dikhta hai. Rab ke samne matha tekta hoon toh dil ko sukoon milta hai. Aap ko hanste hue dekhta hoon toh dil ko aur bhi sukoon milta hai. Toh main toh aapko Rab se bhi zyada pyar karta hoon – Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
No wonder we all fell in love..

Yeh pyaar sabkuch hota hai, Raj..sabkuch..
