I hate this plot with a passion. Also that time heroines were so so passive. They wont break off the marriege engagement ( not marriage, that era women didnt break marriages. LOL. once mangal sutra was tied, that it. that was their noose :-P somehow in all these movies it was ok for the hero to hit on a girl who was engaged to some other guy, or if she has a boyfriend , no qualms about that , but thats a topic for another blog).
So Anyway, these women- our soft pure bubbly sweet heroine, is engaged to someone else. Hero comes along, they look at the hero with wistful eyes, they flirt with all their heart, They preach the importance of true love to the guy. They are some one who is so passionate about love but they never break their engagements on their own even tho they dont love their fiancé, Not even until the wedding day. They break off - only once they find alternative option. WTF? The option comes up on wedding day - Our hero comes to the wedding altar and stops the wedding and Yo Lady is ready to run off at the drop of a hat, but BUT she was totally ready to get married to this other guy ( some times abusive and asshole as well) minutes before. No ethics or what? Why? They were shown as educated and having careers but absolutely no agency. And as if its 1960s where women dont have life without marriage. This is the case in so many movies, even progressive ones like 3 idiots, dil chata hai and even Jab we met ( but that is somewhat excusable because geet was stupid) Kannada movies - Godhi mai banna for one...
Also like sometimes the fiance is a decent and good human. These ladies are so inconsiderate and self centred - tumhara hona ho uska ho izzat hai :D Its not romantic, it is abusive immature and really those ladies are bad persons.
its a pity we were brought up on a heavy dose of such bad characters as leads :-(
