I've got a new list of requirements to meet.
1. Modern Clothes or Halfway Traditional Everyday Clothes 2. Traditional Clothes at Festivals, Religious Ceremonies and Weddings. It also might be fun to see a crossover wedding. White wedding meets Traditional wedding 3. Catchy Songs in the soundtrack is important. I also like songs that open with the sound of anklets or bracelets chiming together. 4. No Remakes or Originals of my favourite Bollywood Films. And definitely not the same or based on the same story with most of the same cast! I haven't watched Hum Aapke Hain Koun fully yet but I had a little look and I already don't like the look of it. It just spoils everything. 5. I don't care where it's set anymore 6. I like Romantic Comedies, Historical Romance/or drama, Performing Arts (like Aaja Nachle), Family and I don't mind a bit of crime (like Market). 7. I like Item Girl dances 8. I'd prefer to see films between 2000 - 2015. 9. I don't mind finding similar stories to my favourites. My Favourite films are Jab We Met, Aladin, Aaja Nachle, Devdas, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Veer-Zaara, My Name is Khan, Kites, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Tezaab, Parineeta, Bewafaa, Monsoon Wedding, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Umrao Jaan (Remake), Namastey London and English Vinglish. 10. My favourite actresses are Aishwarya Rai, Kareena Kapoor, Ayesha Dharker, Shefali Shetty, Neha Dubey, Karishma Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Sonali Bendre and Manisha Koirala - I'm open to watching others too. I just wanna play safe and stick with the ones I know. 11. My favourite actors are Saif Ali Khan, SRK, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan and Ben Kingsley. But I'm open to watching others too. 12. Scratch the kissing thing. I don't want to watch anything risque. Siblings films are still great though.
The films don't have to fit all of my requirements. Feel free to just pick a few.

I've got a new list of requirements to meet. 8. I'd like to see at least one film with Shilpa Shetty in. Because in 2007 she was on Celebrity Big Brother. I didn't know who she was but being a Bollywood Star got me hooked instantly (I actually hate Big Brother so that was a one off for me). Afterwards I intended to watch one of her films but never did. Until now....I hope.
If you're looking for a Shilpa Shetty movie I would definitely recommend Life in a Metro or Phil Milenge. I had first seen her in Life in a Metro and I enjoyed her performance but I didn't like the ending of her story (Life in a Metro is 4 inter-related stories) and then I saw her in Phil Milenge and she completely blew my mind - she was so good! Shilpa was also the item girl in Dostana; I thought I would mention it, even though Shilpa doesn't play in the movie, 'cause I like Dostana (warts and all).

Yay, I like Aladin (the Riteish/Jacqueline/Amitabh one, right?) as well! The best Shilpa Shetty performance I personally have seen is Dhadkan (2000), a romance from the director of Bewafaa. If you like stories like English Vinglish, Queen is similar; I wasn't wild about it but most people enjoyed it. It does have some risque or off-color material, about the very conservative heroine traveling around Paris and Amsterdam and being a bit shocked or clueless about what she encounters. For funny siblings+family stuff+modern romance, I recommend Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Gori Teri Pyaar Mein and Aisha don't have the siblings, but are kind of in the same style. Kissing onscreen is something you're only going to find in a few very modern romances, usually with up and coming stars, some artistic movies, and grindhouse thrillers/action movies with a lot of risque content.

Right. I have modified my list. I don't do risque! I'd rather stay far far away from it as I can (Bollywood-wise).

You've seen Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, right? Hmmmm. You've seen a lot of the movies from this millennium so I'm having a hard time finding new ones for you there. How about Luck By Chance? It's got a ton of familiar faces. There's a movie called Deewana from 1992 with SRK in his film debut alongside Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti. It's not for everybody, but the music is catchy and the costumes are nice, plus there's an ENTIRE song about anklets ( "Payaliya") so that item on your list about anklets clinking together reminded me of it! Also, Raja Hindustani from 1996 has slowly grown on me as a movie. It's got Karishma Kapoor and Aamir Khan in the lead roles. Really great soundtrack. I know you crossed it off your list, but it's got a kissing scene that made some noise when it first came out. Nothing terribly risque though, if I recall correctly.

The films don't have to fit all of my requirements. Feel free to just pick a few.The followig movies deal with the theme of marriage : Queen (2014) *ing Kangna Ranaut, Dolly Ki Dolly (2015) *ing Sonam Kapoor Just Married (2007) *ing Fardeen Khan & Esha Deol Tanu Weds Manu (2011) *ing Kangna Ranaut, Madhavan & Jimmy Shergill Vivaah (2006) *ing Shahid Kapoor & Amrita Rao If you liked Parineeta, you may also like Eklavya: The Royal Guard (2007) as there are Saif and Vidya in it too. If you haven't seen Paheli (2005), I'd recommend it. It stars Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee & Juhi Chawla. If you liked Kites with Hrithik, you may also like Bang Bang (2014) *ing Hrithik Roshan & Katrina Kaif ; Ek Tha Tiger *ing Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif Hrithik and Aishwarya starred in the period movie Jodhaa Akbar (2008) I have yet to see Market, but I think the movie Chandni Bar (2001) *ing Tabu might be similar. The movie Ek Hasina Thi *ing Saif Ali Khan & Urmila deals with a woman seeking revenge after being betrayed. Romantic Comedies : Khoobsurat *ing Sonam Kapoor & Fawad Khan I Hate Luv Storys *ing Sonam Kapoor & Imran Khan Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na *ing Imran Khan & Genelia D'Sousa Cocktail *ing Saif Ali Khan & Deepika Padukone Love Aaj Kal *ing Saif Ali Khan & Deepika Padukone Jaan-E-Mann *ing Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar & Preiry Zinta Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani *ing Ranbir Kapoor & Katrina Kaif

The films I've chosen to watch are Queen, Paheli, Fanaa, Lucky by Chance and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. I also found one on my own which looks great! It's called Shaadi Ke Side Effects.
And look at those trailers yourself before giving me any other examples. What you see in those trailers is what I'm after.

Simply by looking on Youtube. I don't think I'm going to find another historical like film as good as Umrao Jaan and Devdas in costumes, dancing and quality acting. As you can probably tell by now, I'm a girl power kind of girl. Meaning I love female everything - dancing, costumes, big parts in plots and different personalities.

You'll love Queen, then. Girl power to the max there.
It's way outside your era parameters, but you'll eventually have to see Mother India. Incredibly powerful female-centric film, and Nargis' performance is breathtaking. A woman rising up against all obstacles to protect not only her family but her community. Such a great film.

I came across it a few years ago. But I haven't seen it yet. Definitely on my list.
