From Katrina Kaif-Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Baar Baar Dekho to Ranbir Kapoor-Anushka Sharma-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Sonakshi Sinha-starrer Noor, most of the upcoming big-budget films involve love triangles.

Love triangles have been out of fashion in Bollywood for more than decade. It was in the 90s and 80s that we saw Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna fight over a Rakhee (Muqaddar Ka Sikander) or Akshay Kumar and Suneil Shetty struggle for Shilpa Shetty’s affection (Dhadkan) onscreen. The trend is back in vogue.
