Hyderabad:Single readers understand that it is possible to be happy and satisfied without a partner. The silver screen has steadily shifted away from antiquated ideas about marriage and children as the only keys to wholeness, and towards images of genuine, content, and satisfied people who happen to be riding alone.
OTT provides a variety of rom-coms that deal with divorces, breakups, and other topics. Whether you're single, self-partnered, or in a troubled relationship, there are films out there that will speak to you. If the idea of meet-cutes and dating make you sigh, look no further. Below are our top flicks that will make you grateful for being singles as a "happy ending" does not always imply being in a relationship, which is why it's pleasant when films celebrate singlehood.
