6. Movie Marriage Proposal from Jannat

He broke the glass between Zoya and a diamond ring from a jewellery shop for her. He climbed up his balcony like Spiderman to gift her that exact ring and made numerous purchases to help her meet her work's monthly targets, but nothing can beat Arjun to impress her with a grand gesture. Not only did he purchase a car to impress her, he followed her cab, sang one of the most romantic songs, 'Zara Sa' for her, blocked her cab's path, bent down on his knees and spread his arms like SRK to finally convince her to go out with him.

7. Cute Marriage Proposal from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi

With an endless comedy of errors, when all that Sameer wanted to do was impress Rani, everything finally aligned in sync for him when he jumped on the cricket field of a packed stadium, took the mic and spoke his heart out. He apologised for his short-tempered nature and expressed "I Love You" to her ever since he saw her for the first time. He asked Rani's father for forgiveness, and they all live on national TV in the presence of Kapil Dev. He proposed to her for marriage by repeatedly saying "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi", and when Rani's father forgave him, Kapil Dev and the audience encouraged her to say Yes!, she ran on that pitch. She told him "Malhotra Naam Mujhe Bahot Pasand Hai.".

8. Best marriage proposal movie scenes from Wake Up Sid

9. The Marriage Proposal Movie  - Dil Chahta Hai

Asking your girlfriend to marry you while partying in a nightclub> or a family party at home in front of everyone will sweep her off her feet! However, this particular movie marriage proposal scene will only work if the two of you are dating and ready for the next step, unlike the flirty Akash character from the movie who asks her to marry him while she is going to get married to someone else, but what timing! Celebrate your love amidst close friends, take the mic and announce your engagement to the world!

 10. Saif Ali Khan's Marriage Proposal from Kal Ho Na Ho   

If you're a fan of OTT expressions of love, Karan Johar style, try asking your lady to marry you like this movie marriage proposal scene! Red roses, romantic music in the background, perfect lights, and give her a diamond ring sitting on one knee...do the whole shebang! She wouldn't be able to say 'no' to that! Not if she is an authentic blue desi with a special part of her heart kept for KJo.

11. Marriage Proposal Movie Scene from Band Baja Baraat

When in the final scene, Bittoo realises his love for Shruti and says those words, "Tere bina kisi cheez me mauj nahi hai...na chai me na chowmein me", we can't stop gushing (especially the street food lover in us)! That's exactly what every girl wants to hear! Using honest words. Take notes from this cute movie marriage proposal scene and say it, right Dil see! Keep it raw, keep your friendship alive and make it as frank and fun as possible. No flowery words, no sugarcoating the love you feel for her.

Didn't we all feel that flutter in our hearts in the climax of YJHD when Bunny returns from the airport with a fake ring and says, "Naina, shaadi karegi much?" Probably the whole theatre screamed yes 1000 times over, and if your beloved has that Bollywood keeda in her that screamed YES too, then suit up and walk into your Naina's house with a bottle of wine and, nope, not a fake ring, please! Pick the solitaire right already.

When you finally choose your favourite movie marriage proposal scene to take inspiration from, don't forget to set the "stage" right. Play some beautiful proposal songs in the background. Keep all your props ready, like flowers, candles, lights and champagne. Pick the perfect engagement ring to back up your whole proposal story.
