I don't know much about love, not sure if I understand it enough. Neither am I old nor sage to recognize how it appears but if there's one feeling that has been expressed by saints & sinners alike it's love.

So, what does love really look like? I believe love is like water. It floats & takes the shape of the container it is held in. Let's explore it the filmy way:

- The not-so-conventional love story between Barfi (deaf & mute since birth) & Jhimil (autistic)

- The finding love in old age as seen in Lage Raho Munna Bhai

- The fight for acceptance of your orientation & lover by one's family as shown in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan

- The love that knows to wait & didn't stop even when borders & religion separates them as portrayed in Veer-Zaara.

Movies have defined & redefined love time & again but one of the central aspects among its varied faces is acceptance.

Accepting one's identity for who they are, loving them unconditionally & the struggle around it is not just essential but also difficult.

The movie Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui explores acceptance & struggle effectively. The confusion, difficulty in acceptance & struggle is not just displayed through the lead character Manu but all the characters. It depicts the struggle Maanvi, her parents, relatives & everyone else has but it also gently reminds us that rose & love with any other name would still be the same.

Dum Lage Ke Haisha is another such reminder. The fat shaming that Sandhya faced from her husband acted as a contrast for the comfort & love she had for her own body. The realisation that it doesn't matter what size his wife is & that love doesn't fix itself on a shape knocks Prem's mind & heart towards the end of the movie.

So, what even is love? I don't know but I know that the next time someone worries about log kya kahenge I'll quote Amitabh Bachchan & sing "Mere angane me tumhare kya kaam hai", as an answer to all the people because love is love.

Keep sharing love in little ways!

"The dog you really got to dread

Is the one that howls inside your head

It's him whose howling drives men mad

And a mind to its undoing"
