Hello guys, how are you doing and trust you all had a great week? In my post today, I'll be talking about a topic that everyone can relate to. At one point or the other we have all seen one or two movies either an action, comedy, or romance. Also, it could be an American movie, popularly known as Hollywood movies, or Indian movies, known as Bollywood. There are a lot of differences in the way these three movie industries portray Love and Romance in their movies.

In Hollywood movies, Love and Romance is often portrayed in a realistic way, in the sense that the actors act their roles out just like it is in a normal real life. Lovers and couples in Hollywood movies share intense emotions, kisses, sex, go on dates, breakups and so on, in its rawest form. For example, you see a team of two people, a man and a woman who just completed a mission engage in kissing and cuddling as they enter their bedroom. Sometimes, the whole sex scene is shown or in some other movies it is cut off as soon as the foreplay is completed.

While in Bollywood, the actors portray their romance in a somewhat unrealistic way, in the sense that they avoid physical touches, no kisses, little or no hugs, no sex at all. You see a man and woman practically practicing social distancing and they were supposed to be lovers. Well, their romantic relationship is often expressed by who the best dancer and singer is. One sweet thing about their songs is that it's poetic and could make you feel in the character already, you wish love is as perfect as it is shown.
