Bollywood has thrived on romantic scenes that hold the burden of making films successful. Arguably the best of the lot, 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' showed a couple that was matched oh-so-perfectly that the film is running till date. But that was two decades ago and if romance hasn't changed since then, there is a reason to worry. While the judgment of talent is inevitably left on box office results, hitlist reminds you of the times you yawned in the cinemas this year during romantic scenes that was hardly impressive by any yardstick.

'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania'
In a nutshell: After all the PR noise about Varun Dhawan dating Alia Bhatt, the makers decided to get to the romantic scenes really fast after the story began. Kavya and Humpty share a kiss after a night of clubbing that he takes very Seriously: he becomes her Man Friday. Friendship leads to "loveship" and that ship drowns in the deep waters of the audience's imagination.
