Salaam Namaste

The first-ever Bollywood movie to be based entirely on the live-in relationship, Salaam Namaste did manage to get quite a few eyeballs and some flak but all went through smoothly. Saif Ali Khan movies in with Preity Zinta and all is well in the hood till the latter gets pregnant and ended up giving him cold feet. However, by the movie’s end, the two got back together and lived happily ever after. Many satellite TV channels have premiered it on television, do catch it up!

Pyaar ka Punchnama

The movie hilariously amplified the sad plight of men after moving in a relationship where the entire idea primarily was to not get into the responsibilities. As the movie progressed, Karthik Aryan started missing on his days with the boys and Nusrat Barucha got increasingly possessive. However, the two just parted ways eventually making sure that it’s easy to come out of a live-in than a wedlock. Incase you missed catching up on this movie, keep looking for the slot it would be played on satellite TV channels in India.

Shudh Desi Romance

Gayatri and Raghu move into live-in and spend some great times together but separate later on their wedding day only to be reunited after a few years. Realizing they still are crazy for each other, the two get back together in a live-in. This is a hard-to-miss movie based on live-in relationships to catch up on direct to home satellite TV channels.

Befikre

The couple gets into a practical arrangement of living in together to see if it’s just casual or there’s any substance to it! The two just inform their families in a passing tone and move in only to realize later that they’re not cut out for each other. This was the movie where live-in relationships felt more of a breather than a burden. Satellite TV channels like Sony Tv has premiered this movie on many occasions, make sure you catch it the next time!
