9 Romantic Thrillers You Must Watch On Netflix, Amazon Prime Video And Hotstar

These romantic comedies contain just the right amount of tension to make for an engrossing viewing experience.

While we do like a good thriller with its compelling narrative and twists and turns, throw in a bit of romance and the movie gets an added edge. A romantic suspense film can give you the creeps if it combines the right amounts of intimacy and tension. There have been some real gems produced in this genre, both in Bollywood and Hollywood. Hindi cinema was revolutionized by cult classics like 1997’s Gupt, in which Kajol made history by winning an award for best performance in a negative role, and Abbas Mustan’s Aitraaz, whose plot revolved around the theme of sexual harassment. Vertigo (1958), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is also a masterpiece because of the way it combines psychological suspense with a stylish love story. If you liked this and want more like it, here are some of the best romantic suspense novels.

Ek Hasina Thi (2004)

Ek Hasina Thi, directed by Sriram Raghavan, is regarded as a classic in the genre of romantic thrillers. This was before he made such acclaimed films as Badlapur and Andhadhun. Sarika (Urmila Matondkar) has no idea that she will end up in jail due to Karan’s (Saif Ali Khan) deceitful ways when she falls in love with him. A woman scorned is a woman indeed, and one of the film’s best parts is seeing how Sarika goes from a naive young woman to a vengeful one.
