Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999)
Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali
When love is pure and unconditional, all one can think is the happiness of the partner- this is the biggest learning from this Bollywood musical drama. Nandini is married to Vanraj but she isn’t happy in this marriage because she is in deep love with Sameer. Nandini and Sameer’s relationship was not granted by Nandini’s father as he wasn’t Indian enough. For Vanraj it was “love at first sight”. But after learning about Nandini’s love for Sameer, he decides to pack bags and leave for Italy searching for Sameer. He wants Nandini to fall in the arms of Sameer and see her happy. But in the end, Nandini understands the depth of love Vanraj has for her. She admires how he respects her choices. And she also understood that it wasn’t anyone’s mistake but a regressive and orthodox culture that was responsible for her doomed love story. That’s what marriage is all about - staying loyal till eternity!

English Vinglish (2012)
Director: Gauri Shinde
This movie addressed a very important issue in marriage apart from its core message that “English isn’t the yardstick of one’s intelligence or personality”. Shashi Godbole runs a small business of laddoos and aachars and is quite famous in her locality for her cooking talent. She knows her husband comes home to her delicious plate of food. But something is missing in her marriage. There isn’t enough friendship, romance, and closeness and she thinks the only thing responsible is her inability to speak fluent English. For the same reason, Shashi is often ridiculed by her teenage daughter. While on her trip to New York, she learns this “Queen’s Language” and delivers a perfect speech in English about “marriage and family” at her niece’s marriage in front of her whole family. Her husband and daughter are stunned. After all these years of insults, crooked remarks, and belittling Shashi, Shashi’s husband is still surprised that she loves him like before. While learning the English language, Shashi learns that self-love is important to stay in love with others. And we also learn that respect and compassion are two important pillars in a marriage.
