''Romance'' (1983) is a colourful, lively story of two teenage lovers of the jet age; Sonia, a half-English girl, and Amar an Indian youth, whose romance blossoms across thousands of miles and crosses all barriers.

==Plot==
British based Mr. and Mrs. Roy are thrilled when their son announces that he is going to marry a Caucasian woman. Soon they are blessed when a daughter, Sonia, is born. Tragically, their son passes away, leaving them heartbroken.

Sonia grows up under her mother's strict control and guidance, and the love of her grandparents, who encourage her to visit India, which she does. When she returns, she announces that she has met her soul-mate in Amar, who she is going to invite to Britain, where they will marry.

Her mother does not approve of this, as she wants Sonia to marry the Caucasian male of her choice, and will not permit any interference from her in-laws, who are asked to leave her house. In the meantime Amar's passport and money are stolen. He manages to board a ship bound for Britain, where he is subsequently apprehended, arrested and turned over for prosecution and possible deportation as an illegal immigrant.

'''''Lovers''''' is a [[Bollywood films of 1983|1983]] Hindi romantic drama film directed by [[Bharathiraja]].

==Plot==
Viju ([[Kumar Gaurav]]) lives near Panji, Goa, with his poor mother ([[Beena Banerjee]]), who teaches music to make a living. Mary ([[Padmini Kohlapure]]), sister of a rich landlord David ([[Danny Denzongpa]]) comes home from Bombay to visit her family during her vacations. The two characters fall in love with each other. On getting to know this, David beats Mary black-and-blue and plans to get her married. During these events, David violates his maid and cleanly gets away with it. But this earns him his wife's ([[Tanuja]]) wrath, and she tries to help Mary unite with Viju against the wishes of David.

David then attempts to kill both Viju and Mary with the help of the villagers, as he feels the only punishment that they deserve for loving each other, is death. Will the lovers ever unite, or will they be constantly torn apart due to the various odds and obstacles of the society, is what forms the rest of the story.
