Best Bollywood Travel Movies of All Time

#1 zindagi na milegi dobara (2011).

This one’s my all-time favorite. I’ve watched it like 10 times or more (actually I’ve lost count). I never get tired of it. It’s that amazing. So we will have to begin our list of Best Indian travel movies with this film.

3 best friends. 1 EPIC road trip. All things awesome!

ZNMD is about three friends who set on a bachelor’s trip to Spain (which they had planned during their college) to overcome their fears. They inspire the viewers to plan a Spanish vacation as they road-tripped from Barcelona to Costa Brava to Seville to Buñol to Pamplona enjoying the famous La Tomatina Festival and taking on adventures like deep-sea diving, skydiving, and a bull run along the way.

I added the ultimate road trip through Spain to my Europe bucket list before even the movie was finished. The movie has all the ingredients to revive the traveler in you. This is one of the inviting Bollywood road trip movies that will want you to pack your bags and head off.

There are a few movies that make you fall in love with your life, and ZNMD is one of those!

#2 Queen (2013)

Queen inspires all the girls out there to drop their fears, take a call, and travel solo at least once in their lifetime. The movie is about a girl who embarks on a solo trip to Paris which was supposed to be her honeymoon trip.

Rani, the main protagonist falls in love with herself while wandering around the gorgeous streets of Paris and Amsterdam . The movie beautifully redefined the concept of solo travel. The journeys we take by ourselves are the journeys we take into ourselves, indeed.

tour movie bollywood

#3 Dil Chahta Hai (2001)

This is the movie that I watched with my best friends and yes we were living the movie while watching it. This for sure remains one of the best travel movies in Bollywood. Any youngster who watches this movie can’t help but crave to take a road trip to Goa with friends. With a beautiful storyline of how three friends discover the beauty of their friendship and life while on a trip to Goa, the movie set a record.

Dil Chahta Hai features quaint beach towns, golden-sand beaches, palm-fringed coastlines, back-country spice farms, quintessential churches and forts, and mouth-watering Goa Cuisine. This movie has contributed a lot to tourism in Goa. The movie also showcases the iconic city of Sydney, Australia .

tour movie bollywood

#4 Swades (2004)

All the NRI (Non-Resident Indians) would be able to relate to the movie Swades which will make them teary-eyed. It is a movie about an NRI played by Shahrukh Khan, who works in NASA and comes to India to discover his roots. He wants to take his nanny to the US along with him.

He takes on the journey on a luxury caravan that he rides and takes through rustic rural India and shows the warmth of people. It showcases the beautiful and vibrant culture of India and the value system that we believe in.

This movie would surely be nostalgic for many living far away from their homeland and remaining in the dilemma of returning back.

tour movie bollywood

#5 Highway (2014)

Imtiaz Ali never fails to charm his viewers. The Highway is a film about a girl who’s kidnapped and put in a truck that travels to Kashmir via Delhi , Punjab , Haryana , Rajasthan , and Himachal Pradesh . The movie beautifully brings out the beauty of freedom through this Bollywood road trip movie.

The snow-clad mountains, crystal-clear rivers, lush green landscape, tiny hamlets of Pahalgam , Aru Valley , Spiti , and the highways of North India – the movie captures the essence of travel in India.

tour movie bollywood

#6 Tamasha (2015)

Another gem from Imtiaz Ali. Tamasha transports you to the beautiful French island of Corsica .

From Turquoise blue waters and stunning bays, to rugged peaks, gorgeous landscapes, medieval charm, and everything in between, the movie captures Corsica in a way that this breathtaking island becomes your bucket list destination.

The trip changed their lives forever.

tour movie bollywood

#8 Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

DDLJ, a directorial debut by Aditya Chopra, made me fall in love with the Swiss Alps and has been a dream destination that I wish to visit with my husband.

The story revolves around the love story of a boy and girl, both NRI living in London who meet on a vacation in Europe with their friends. They both travel on the Eurostar with their friends to exotic locations of Zweissimen , Gstaad , Jungfrau , and Interlaken .

This is one film that even lists 1001 movies that you must watch before you die. Can you believe the movie ran in a theater in Maharashtra for more than 20 years?

So how can this movie not be a part of the Best Bollywood travel movies?

tour movie bollywood

#9 Dil Dhadakne Do (2015)

This movie made me fall in love with cruise trips. Ayesha plans a 10-day cruise sailing through Turkey , Tunisia , Egypt , Spain , Italy , and France to celebrate her parent’s anniversary and the trip connects the dysfunctional family through a series of experiences.

It’s so exciting to see the characters exploring a new country every day! Being on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean can be insanely gorgeous and intensely cathartic. The visuals are inspiring and capture the essence of each country – the vibe and the culture.

tour movie bollywood

#10 Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

The movie charms its viewers with the adorable characters of Naina and Bunny, the breathtaking landscapes of Kashmir , and the royal vibe of Rajasthan .

The first half of the movie showcases the characters enjoying hiking the snow-covered Himalayas and the second half takes you through the magnificent forts and palaces of Rajasthan.

It gives some serious destination wedding goals. They can be so much fun. The movie has that feel-good factor. It beautifully motivates people to take time to travel and spend time with friends.

These Hindi movies on travel are here to give you some serious travel goals.

tour movie bollywood

#11 Jab We Met (2007)

This is another movie I never get tired of watching. With an engaging storyline, incredible actors, and a mind-boggling and life-changing journey through various cities and towns ( Ratlam , Kota , Bhatinda , Manali , and Shimla ) in India by different modes like a train, bus, rickshaw, cycle, jeep, and even truck, Jab We Met is a delight for eyes as well as the soul.

I took a trip to Rohtang Pass after seeing the snowy landscapes and a narrow road with snowy walls on either side of Rohtang Pass in Jab We Met. Such road trip movies in Bollywood do inspire you to add them to your bucket list. The two protagonists, Geet and Aditya look so adorable together that you can’t get enough of them.

I realized that trips that don’t have a plan and are spontaneous can be so much fun(risky though but hey life’s all about taking risks). Sometimes, it’s good to have no plan 🙂

tour movie bollywood

#12 Piku (2015)

With a tale of a complicated yet beautiful father-daughter relationship, Piku touches hearts. The movie is set in the capital city of India. The road trip from Delhi to Kolkata en route to the spiritual city of Varanasi is the soul of the movie.

The trip brings out the differences between the lead actors (father and daughter) eventually bonding them by the end of the journey.

The quaint charm of Varanasi and the old-world charm of Kolkata will tickle the traveler in you.

This coming-of-age movie is set in West Bengal’s picturesque hill station of Darjeeling . You are sure to be charmed by the heartfelt story and stunning locations as Barfi, the protagonist cycles through Darjeeling’s charming streets featuring rolling tea estates, lush green forests, and mist-covered peaks.

The Clock Tower, Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, and Glenary’s Cafe are some of the most famous landmarks of Darjeeling featured in the movie. In the second half of the movie, the city of Joy – Kolkata and its colonial charm make your heart flutter.

Chalo Dilli is about two contrasting characters who travel together on a road trip from Mumbai to Delhi to explore the colors and cultures of India’s rural and urban towns.

3 Idiots played a vital role in making Leh Ladakh a popular destination. The climax of the movie features an unusually beautiful Himalayan lake – Pangong Tso that stretches between India and China. The lake instantly became a hot destination after the release of the movie. Otherwise, the offbeat location turned into one of the most touristy places in India. These are the after-effects of the best Indian travel movies.

The local eateries, restaurants, hotels, camps, and lodges mushroomed along the banks of the lake and amusingly most of them are named after the movie or its characters’ names.

Some of the parts of the movie are shot in Druk White Lotus School in Leh which is now also known as ‘Rancho School.’ Rancho is the name of the main protagonist in the movie.

The awe-inspiring landscapes of South India will urge you to travel to this beautiful part of India.

In a light-hearted movie, Hum Tum travels to the amazing destinations of Delhi , Amsterdam , USA , Paris , and Mumbai as the two main characters, Karan and Rhea (unknowingly and unwantedly) bump into each other at different intervals in their lives.

#23 Rang De Basanti (2006)

The movie is based on a rebellious concept that tastefully blends the elements of history, patriotism, sacrifice, and politics. It’s primarily set in Delhi but also features the famous attractions in Jaipur and Punjab .

Remember that song ‘Masti Ki Pathshala’ from the movie? It was shot at the baoli in Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur . The beautiful mustard fields of Punjab make your heart crave to run through those fields of yellow mustard flowers. The famous Golden Temple of Amritsar , the Hola Mohalla Festival of Anandpur Sahib, and the famed Durga Sarai Fort of Ludhiana make RDB a must-watch for the right dose of wanderlust.

tour movie bollywood

#24 PK (2014)

Apart from the unusual tale of an alien stuck on the earth, what caught my attention was the picture book city of Bruges in Belgium which served as a perfect setting for the love story in the first half of the movie.

The gorgeous canals, charming cobbled streets, and medieval buildings made me fall in love with Bruges . Did you know PK is the first Bollywood movie shot in Bruges?

The movie also takes you through some of the most intriguing sites in Delhi like Agrasen ki Baoli , Chandni Chowk , Connaught Place , and the colorful countryside town of Rajasthan , Mandwa . You’ll get a taste of the rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan.

tour movie bollywood

#27 Love Aaj Kal (2009)

A pinch of romance, a dash of comedy, a sprinkle of drama, and a lot of places – Love Aaj Kal gracefully portrays the complications of long-distance relationships.

The story takes you on a jaunt through London , Delhi , Kolkata , Punjab , and San Francisco . With beautiful visuals from the quaint villages of Punjab , narrow streets of Old Delhi , colorful locales of London , the oldest neighborhoods of Kolkata , and a sight of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco , Love Aaj Kal pushes you to leave the comforts of home and explore the world.

Its sequel, Love Aaj Kal 2 perfectly showcases the beauty of the untouched and quaint village of Chitkul in Himachal Pradesh at the Indo-Tibetan border aka The Last Village of India .

This is what I love about Imitiaz Ali. His every movie takes you to bucket-list-worthy destinations with his characters and casts a spell of travel on its audience. His movies Breathe, Dream, and Live Travel.

tour movie bollywood

#28 Lootera (2013)

Lootera is a story set in the ’50s. The daughter of an aristocrat falls in love with a visiting archeologist from West Bengal without knowing a secret his life holds. It’s shot in quaint and laid-back locations in India – Khajjiar , Dalhousie , and Manikpur, West Bengal .

A traveler in you will also love its sequel, Tiger Zinda Hai which features beautiful locations across five different countries – Abu Dhabi , Austria , Greece , Morocco , and India .

With exotic destinations charming viewers, Bollywood movies about travel are rising.

tour movie bollywood

#30 English Vinglish (2012)

One of the last movies of my all-time favorite actress, Sridevi – English Vinglish is a heartfelt story of a woman named Shashi who’s made to feel insecure and inferior just because she doesn’t speak English by her husband and daughter.

The film touches your soul as Shashi sets on a transformational solo journey to the Big Apple (NYC) to attend the wedding of her sister’s daughter. You can enjoy iconic sights and attractions in New York from Central Park, and Times Square to Brooklyn Bridge, and Fifth Avenue. One of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, New York City makes her feel as if she belongs here.

The song Manhattan is so powerful that you end up planning a trip to New York before even the movie ends.

Options for Bollywood Tours in Mumbai

Take a Bollywood Tour or Be a Bollywood Exrtra

tour movie bollywood

Mumbai is the center of India's booming "Bollywood" film industry. Over 100 films are produced each year there. It's possible to take a Bollywood tour to the heart of the action in Film City. If you'd rather be a Bollywood extra in a movie than simply see the set of one, that's possible too. Here's how​

Overview of Film City in Mumbai

Film City was built by the Maharashtra state government in 1978 to help the Bollywood film industry and provide facilities for it to flourish. The sprawling complex covers nearly 350 acres and comes fully equipped with almost 20 indoor studios, as well as outdoor settings for filming. Film City is located in the western Mumbai suburb of Goregaon -- in the vicinity of the secluded and lush Aarey Colony on the outskirts of Sanjay Gandhi National Park . It's easily accessible from the Western Expressway. Unfortunately, Mumbai Film City isn't open for public admission unless special prior approval is obtained. However, it is possible to take a guided tour there.

Options for Guided Tours

The official tour of Film City is a two hour guided bus tour, operated by Mumbai Film City Tours in conjunction with the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation. The tour visits various locations in Film City. If you're keen on seeing a live shooting, you could be disappointed though. You may be lucky to get a glimpse from the bus if there's one happening. (You're not allowed to get off the bus, which is a drawback). There are six tours per day, as follows: 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., 12.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m., 2.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., and 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. The cost is 599 rupees per person for Indians and $49 per person for foreigners.

Mumbai Film City Tours also conducts a Live Show Tour that focuses on the live shooting of a TV serial and visits the set. You'll be able to see the actors working on the set and have your picture taken with them. The tour runs daily from 4 p.m. to 5.30.p.m. The cost is 1,600 rupees per person for Indians and $49 for foreigners.

There are a few private tour operators that provide dedicated Bollywood tours. These are comprehensive tours that cater predominately to foreigners.

One of the best is Bollywood Tours , which was established in 2003. Their full-day Film City and Bollywood Tour also includes a drive past Bollywood stars' homes and a visit to a shooting studio (as well as the two-hour Film City bus tour mentioned above). The company also offers full-day Bollywood Tours and half-day Bollywood Tours that visit shooting studios, a dubbing studio, and include a Bollywood dance show and drive past stars' homes. The Bollywood Tours can be combined with Dharavi slum or city sightseeing. 

No Footprints also offers this fun half-day Mumbai Dream Tour that incorporates Bollywood dance workshop, short screening of a Bollywood movie, a visit to a film studio to see a live shoot, and a visit to a sound recording studio.

Film Cities in Other Locations

Film cities can also be found in Noida (not far from Delhi), Hyderabad, and Chennai. Noida Film City has over 25 acres of indoor and is used mostly for making TV serials, news, and current affairs programs. Chennai Film City is home to the Tamil movie industry. The public can enter for a small fee, and there's an amusement park to keep the kids entertained. Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City is a huge tourist destination spread over 2,500 acres. It boasts of being the world's largest production complex and it's possible to take a special tour.

How to Be a Bollywood Extra

If you'd rather be in a Bollywood movie than simply see the set of one, that's possible too. Foreigners are always in demand to be extras in Bollywood movies. The easiest way to make it happen is to hang around Colaba Causeway in Mumbai, particularly in the area around Leopold's Cafe, and you're sure to be approached to be an extra. If that fails, and you really must be an extra, try contacting casting agent Imran Giles of Casting Planet on 98199-46742 (cell) or imran.giles@gmail.com 

Expect long hours and lots of waiting.

The 10 Best Bollywood Travel Movies to Spark Your Wanderlust

India - Bollywood

Last Updated on: 19th June 2023, 06:40 pm

I love the idea of watching a Bollywood travel movie, but I don’t know where to start!

After Bride & Prejudice  (and its luscious scenes from Goa and London) I’m at a loss for where to go next! (And does that move even count as Bollywood)?

So I asked Mayuri from Canada Crossroads , an Indian-Canadian travel expert, to help point me in the right direction! These are her recommendations for the best Bollywood travel movies. 

Can’t read now? Pin for later!

The Best Bollywood Travel Films

Growing up Bollywood movies were my jam.

Full of fiction, yet stunning cinematography from the Swiss Alps to streets in London and night lights in New York, these best travel movies Bollywood editions to inspire wanderlust!

Bollywood films are long, typically 2 to 3 hours, and are filled with romance, dramatic locations, and scenery.

They are a perfect dose of travel and entertainment from the comfort of your living room! 

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a beautiful story about three friends  Kabir (Abhay Deol), Arjun (Hrithik Roshan), and Imraan (Farhan Akhtar), who head out on a ‘bachelor’ trip before Kabir gets married.

The movie features stunning locations in Spain: Barcelona, Costa Brava, Seville Bunol, and more.

The movie has comedy, drama, wanderlust-ing moments, and a message to live in the moment, rather than running after life goals (where Arjun wants to retire at 40).

The trip turns into an opportunity to mend fences, heal wounds, fall in love with life, and combat their worst fears.

The characters travel from Barcelona to Seville, Buñol, and various parts in Andalucia, road tripping.

The movie showcases La Tomatina Festival, bullfighting, tapas hopping, and a Bollywood version of flamenco!

Watch the trailer:

This is the Indian Queen, based on the movie’s main protagonist, Rani.

Rani literally means Queen, in Hindi. Rani (portrayed by Kangana Ranaut) decides to venture on her honeymoon alone after her fiance calls off the wedding.

Rani explores Paris, followed by Amsterdam on her solo travel journey.

She lived a sheltered life in Delhi, and the movie captures her naive side – from ‘almost’ getting her bag stolen, eating nonvegetarian food, being nervous in a co-ed/mixed hostel to meeting a friend in the Red Light District in Amsterdam.

The movie is filled with light comedy scenes, yet it opens up the difficulties of new travels, solo travels, and culture shock.

Watch the Trailer: 

Rang de Basanti

A movie that reminds me so much of my time in New Delhi, where I studied history at the university – the vibrant college life and a passion to make a difference.

The movie is based on six college friends, whose life completely changes when a British documentary maker, Sue, approaches them to make a movie, based on her grandfather’s diary, highlighting the story of Indian revolutionaries.

Her grandfather served in the British Indian Army, and in the movie, she inspires them to rebel for a good cause, when Flight Lieutenant Ajay Rathod dies in an unfortunate flight mishap. 

The movie highlights various parts of Delhi, including a road trip to Rajasthan; more than the locations the movie celebrates the free-spiritedness of the 6 young people, and their emotional and mental process turns them into rebels for a cause.

Watch the Trailer:

Chennai Express

A movie by Indian superstar Shahrukh Khan with Deepika Padukone, Chennai Express showcases the best scenes from southern India.

Chennai Express is a love story between a southern belle, whose father is a gangster and an average Delhi boy.

This movie is not one of Shahrukh Khan’s best, but the locations in the south along with the train journeys give you a sneak peek into the travels in this part of India.

It is a comedy-drama, filled with tons of dance and music!

The foot-tapping dance number, ‘Kashmir Tu, Main Kanyakumari,’ has been extensively shot at the Munnar Tea Plantation in Kerala, bringing it to the travel limelight.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

A love story, a story of friendships, and a story of a wanderer, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani  is a wanderlust movie, coupled with a relationship twist, the loneliness associated with travel, and finally settling down in life (in a ‘normal’ definition).

Although I do not believe in the traditional definition of “settling down”, where you drop your travels and live a routine, average life, the film beautifully brings out Bunny’s (the main protagonist Ranbir Kapoor ) zest for travel.

His room is filled with wanderlust from posters on the wall, a travel journal, and his passion for photography. He goes on to become a successful travel creator globetrotting the world.

After a few years, he misses his friends and his love Naina (Deepika Padukone), and returns to make amends.

The movie showcases amazing scenes from Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan (in India), and Paris.

Highway , directed by Imtiaz Ali, is one of the most stunningly shot Bollywood travel movies in India.

The movie stars Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda, who road trips in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent.

Highway throws the spotlight to northern India’s rugged, untouched beauty.

While London, Paris, and New York are still popular bucket list destinations, this movie adds a few more Indian gems to that list.

The movie captures the beauty of landscapes in Spiti (Himachal Pradesh), Aru Valley (Jammu and Kashmir), and various locations in Punjab.

The road trip is one of self-discovery for the female lead, who led a lavish style prior to the journey and discovers freedom after being kidnapped and trapped.

Dil Chahta Hai

Dil Chahta Hai is a story of 3 best friends Akash (Aamir Khan), Sameer (Saif Ali Khan), and Siddharth (Akshaye Khanna), and their growing relationship and discovery of life after University/college studies.

The movie is shot in India and Australia. It showcases carefree moments in Goa (India) and travels to Australia where Akash immigrates after a fallout with his friends.

Dil Chahta Hai showcases the love and relationships of various characters and their perusal of the same.

Happy Ending

Happy Ending is a movie about Yudi (Saif Ali Khan), who is suffering from writer’s block.  He embarks on a journey in search of inspiration for his next story and ends up falling in love with a best-selling author who doesn’t believe in love.

The movie was entirely shot in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California.

The song “Tu Mere Jaisa” from the movie showcases the romantic side of the beautiful city of San Francisco from the views of the stunning Bay area, crooked street and winding streets, including Palace of Fine Arts, Ghirardelli Square, Golden Gate Bridge, and downtown area.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is a romantic comedy set in Las Vegas, Nevada. The story revolves around Rahul, who has lost his job and ends up befriending a free-spirited hairstylist – Riana.

They have a crazy night, Vegas-style,  get married, become friends whilst waiting for an annulment, and travel to India for a much-needed break.

The movie captures the beauty of Las Vegas at night, its architectural marvels and things to do, outside of gambling!

Namastey London

Namastey London, as the name suggests, is centered around London, so you can expect tons of beautiful scenes from the city. The movie is based on a true story.

It depicts the clash of cultures when an Indian farmer marries a girl from London and highlights their different lifestyles and perspectives.

5 Things to Pack for Your Trip to India

Greece - Crete - Stephanie Luggage

The   Lonely Planet India   guidebook. It can be kind of a pain to find the major guidebooks once you land, or you’ll find them overpriced. I always like to pick mine up ahead of time.

An Unlocked  Cell Phone   so that you can use a local sim card while here to help navigate public transportation and when you’re on the road. 

Backup Charging Bank  for your cell phone since you’ll be using it as a camera, GPS system, and general travel genie.

A Camera  since India is super photogenic. I use a mix of my  Nikon D810  and my   Samsung8  smartphone these days.

A Great Day Bag   so you can carry what you need with you (like your camera, snacks, water, sunscreen, cash, etc).

My current favorite is the  Pacsafe Citysafe , which is especially great for India because it has many anti-theft features designed to deter pickpockets. 

Don’t Forget About Travel Insurance!

Before you leave for India make sure you have a valid  Travel  Insurance Policy  because accidents happen on the road.

I pay for  World Nomads,  and I happily recommend them. It’s especially important to get travel insurance if you’ll be hanging out in cities like New Dehli and Mumbai where tourists can easily become the targets of pickpockets.

I have been a paying customer of  World Nomads  for travel insurance for three years, and I happily recommend them.  If you get sick, injured, or have your stuff stolen, you’ll be happy to have the ability to pay for your medical bills or replace what’s stolen or broken.

tour movie bollywood

Image Source: Wikipedia.org

Jab We Met gave us an ultimate roadtrip song- ' hum jo chalane lage, chalane lage hain yeh raaste ...' This romantic comedy starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapur was shot across north India. It made us all fall in love with Ratlam ki galiyaan, it made us want to eat ganna in Bhatinda and the way Manali was depicted in the movie, it made us fall in love with the idea of love itself.

I was 8 years old when I saw this movie. The idea of going on a roadtrip across Europe with my gang of girls fascinated me so much that it became my life mission. I did fulfil this wish 18 years later but I did not end up falling in love with a handsome stranger the way Simran did! DDLJ took us on a romantic trip across Europe and Punjab.

4. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani - Best of bollywood travel movies

Naina and Bunny took us through some fascinating locales in the movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. From the snow capped Himalayas to the picturesque alleys of Europe to the lavish palaces of Udaipur, the movie was shot beautifully.

5. Bombay To Goa - All time favorite travel film

tour movie bollywood

A bus journey from Bombay to Goa, a movie plot full of thrills, twists and turns and a talented cast equals one of the best travel movies of all times.  

6. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara - Movie that inspire you to travel

tour movie bollywood

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara took us on a breathtaking journey across Spain. The complexities of the characters, the demons they are fighting and the way they discover themselves on their Spanish escapade form the crux of the movie. After watching the movie, I was completely inspired by Laila (Katrina Kaif’s character). This woman is independent, speaks her mind and lives life to the fullest.  It is one of the best hindi movies that inspire you to travel!

7. Queen - Movie that make you want to travel

tour movie bollywood

The movie Queen is a personal favourite. I watched it during a time in my life when my confidence level was at an all time low. Through the romantic avenues of Paris and wacky and quirky streets of Amsterdam, the journey of Rani’s metamorphosis from a naive girl to an independent woman is tear-jerkingly inspiring. So girls, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and go on an all girls trip!

8. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - An inspiring tale

tour movie bollywood

Bajrangi Bhaijaan did what very few films could achieve- it brought India and Pakistan closer. It gave an insider’s perspective of Pakistan along with showing us the beauty of the nation. When Bajrangi sets off on a journey from Delhi to drop a mute Munni at her village in Pakistan, we all wondered how he would be able to do it. And when he does succeed, we all cried and clapped in joy.   

9. Anjaana Anjaani - Journey across the world

tour movie bollywood

A charming movie, the protagonists (played by Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor) in Anjaana Anjaani decide to end their lives on the last day of the year. Before doing so however, they intend on fulfilling all their dreams and this leads to an epic journey across Las Vegas, New York, San Francisco, Thailand and Malaysia. If you haven’t watched it, do check it out, the traveller in you will love it.

10. Nau Do Gyarah - Best travel movie of all time

Released in 1957, Nau Do Gyarah is a romantic comedy drama movie starring Dev Anand and Kalpana Kartik. A man travelling from his town to Bombay, a rickety truck, a runaway bride disguised as a Sikh boy- the movie has all the components of a perfect entertainer.

11. Tamasha - Romance on a vacation

tour movie bollywood

If the idea of finding romance on a vacation intrigues you, you have to watch Tamasha. Filmed across Corsica, the movie will make you fall in love with this French island.  

12. Chalo Dilli - For the Fun of travelling

14. London Paris New York - Beautiful bollywood travel movie

tour movie bollywood

London Paris New York is a love story spread across 3 nations. The movie takes you on a journey through three of the most beautiful cities in the world- London, Paris and New York. The essence of each of the city is so beautifully captured by the director that you can’t help but pack your bags and leave on a romantic escapade to one or all of these locations!

15. Piku - Must watch road trip movie

tour movie bollywood

A comedy drama film, Piku explored the nuances of a father-daughter relationship during a roadtrip from Delhi to Kolkata when Bhashkor (Amitabh Bachchan’s character) refuses to travel by rail or air. The beautiful way in which Kolkata is depicted in the movie when Bhashkor explores it on a bicycle will make you want to visit the City of Joy as soon as possible.

Every time I watch a well made movie, it inspires me- to travel, to discover myself, to take a journey of a lifetime. I recently watched Mr. and Mrs. Iyer again. It is such a beautiful movie having a heart warming storyline with the backdrop of travel. Which bollywood movies on travelling did you watch that inspired you to go on a journey of a lifetime?

7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch!

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! by Shravan K Acharya

What is going on in 2020? I had made so many travel plans for this year. But now, I find myself stuck at home with restrictions on travel making me dump all my plans. Since I cannot go outside freely, I have been watching movies, especially travel movies to keep myself hooked to the plans. Maybe, I can keep up with them once this pandemic comes to a standstill.

Well, who isn’t a fan of Hollywood travel movies like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty , Into the Wild and The Motorcycle Diaries ? There are quite a few that will multiply your love for travel. For people in India, good news is that more and more movies based on travel are being made lately and I feel Hindi movies connect with us better.

So, I thought I’ll share few of the best Bollywood movies based on travel that I absolutely adored watching. Few of these have been my all time favourites, mainly because of my love for travel. I am pretty sure that these movies will inspire you to make more travel plans.

Moreover, I happen to be a filmmaking enthusiast, so when I do watch movies, I look at them from a filmmaker's perspective, mainly aspects like storytelling and cinematography. That’s why you’ll see me praising these movies on similar points as you read on. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to not give out any spoilers.

To make it easier for you, I have included links of where you can watch these movies at the end of the post.

1. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)

IMDB Rating : 8.1/10

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! 1/7 by Shravan K Acharya

First of all, let me tell you I have no count of the number of times I have watched this movie. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , also known as ZNMD in short is a must watch for all you travel buffs. The story revolves around a road trip plan of three close friends.

Childhood friends Kabir , Imraan and Arjun played respectively by Abhay Deol , Farhan Akhtar and Hritik Roshan , make a plan to visit Spain in their younger days, but life happens. With everyone dealing with their own things, the plan never happened until it turns into Arjun’s bachelor trip.

3 close friends. A beautiful foreign country. Lots of fun. Innumerable memories. Yes, this movie is all of that.

The movie’s director, Zoya Akhtar takes you on a compelling visual journey that features the ravishing city of Barcelona , scuba and skydiving in Costa Brava , the famous La Tomatina festival in Bunol and Bull racing in Pamplona .

The movie is well complemented with its songs. Khaabon Ke Parinday is my personal favourite, with the visuals of the song being so pleasing to the eye. The shot of horses running along during the road trip excites me every time I watch the music video.

Must Read: women travel groups

As the movie progresses, it picks up the theme of discovering one’s self and overcoming one’s fears, which is what travel is really about. At the end of the movie, you’ll find yourselves craving for a Spanish holiday with your best friends.

2. Tamasha (2015)

IMDB Rating : 7.3/10

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! 2/7 by Shravan K Acharya

Imtiaz Ali , the director of this complex, yet beautiful film is probably a travel fanatic himself. I’ll tell you why I am making this assumption. Almost all his films have the characters going on some sort of trip.

The movie sets off with the meeting of the leading characters - Ved , played by Ranbir Kapoor and Tara , played by Deepika Padukone . Two very distinct characters, yet make a charming couple.

The first half of the movie features Corsica , a French Island which I never heard of before watching the film. Corsica has got quite popular with this movie being made. The stunning island features blue waters, captivating landscapes of bays and craggy peaks. “What happens in Corsica, stays in Corsica!” is what the lead characters go by as they make a pact of not telling their actual names and not falling for each other and instead decide to make fun memories during their time at the island. But, that doesn’t go as planned.

The male lead’s character, Ved is quite complex which adds to the beauty of the movie. He takes you on his own journey of fighting the cage of emotions and hardships that we all might connect on a personal level.

Another reason why I absolutely love this movie is because of its unique storytelling. Imtiaz Ali adopts a non linear screenplay, which is quite rare in Bollywood movies.

The second half of the movie also features scenes from India, Hauz Khas Village in Delhi and few shots from Shimla .

The music album is composed by AR Rahman , with Agar Tum Saath Ho being the standout pick of music lovers. The song makes you feel a lot of emotions at once, I personally never get tired of listening to it. Rest of the songs in the album are truly underrated, you’ll know as you watch this exciting movie.

3. Dil Chahta Hai (2001)

IMDB : 8.1/10

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! 3/7 by Shravan K Acharya

A movie that was made in the starting of this century, Dil Chahta Hai made quite a revolution in two fields - Indian Cinema and India’s travel scene. Another movie about 3 friends going on a road trip, but this time to the party capital of India - Goa . Apparently Goa started getting huge amounts of tourist traffic after this movie was released, such was its impact!

Aamir Khan , Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna play the leading male roles while Preity Zinta plays the female lead role. The 3 friends discover the beauty of their friendship as they travel across various beach towns that showcases golden sand beaches, tropical coastlines, ancient forts and churches, delicious Goan cuisine. Moreover, Chapora Fort which features in the movie, is now popularly known as the ‘ Dil Chahta Hai fort ’. This rustic charm of Goa in the movie certainly proves the statement - Goa is not just a party destination.

In the later half, the movie carries the viewers to Sydney , Australia with glimpses into the Sydney Opera house . I’m pretty sure we all know about the Sydney Opera House but quite a few saw videos of the opera performance. You’ll witness that in the movie, very fascinating indeed.

The Dil Chahta Hai cast is what makes the film more special, with all the leads doing a phenomenal job in the portrayal of 3 different personalities.

The director of the film, Farhan Akhtar certainly set a benchmark in Hindi cinema during a time when movies on topics like travel were barely made. The movie has been a big inspiration to the younger generations to plan a trip to Goa . Let’s admit it, we all have made plans to go to Goa with friends, but only a few manage to make this plan happen successfully.

4. Karwaan (2018)

IMDB Rating : 7.5/10

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! 4/7 by Shravan K Acharya

Another road trip movie, but quite different in terms of context and storyline. Avinash , played by Dulquer Salman (his debut Hindi movie) is stuck in a boring and unfulfilling 9-5 job. Suddenly strikes the news of his father’s death in a road accident. With this new already causing a stir in his mind, Avinash has more in his plate of bad luck as he discovers that his dad’s body has been replaced by another body of an old lady.

To sort out the misunderstanding and return this old lady’s body, Avinash along with his friend Shaukat , played by late Irrfan Khan take a road trip to Kochi from Bangalore . Enroute Kochi , they make a pitstop to pick up the old lady’s granddaughter, played by Mithila Palkar . You all know Mithila Palkar right? She grew to fame after playing the female lead in the well loved Indian web series - Little Things .

The movie has a light hearted story complimented well with aesthetic lush green frames. The story turns into a journey of self discovery, 3 very different personalities of the leads come together to understand each other and connect on common grounds.

This is one of the very few travel movies that is shot in South India , featuring places like Ooty , Coimbatore , Thrissur and Kochi . After all, South India is no less than North India when it comes to touristy places.

The storyline of the film has unexpected turns and hurdles, which is what life is all about. Sometimes you end up in situations with any plans and you just have to glide past these moments and come out with beautiful memories. Though the movie has a story that leans a bit towards a serious note, Irrfan Khan’s character - Shaukat , brings in the right amount of humour to make the storytelling even more captivating.

Songs from the movie is something that needs to be talked about. The music is very soothing. New age sensation, Prateek Kuhad also makes his Bollywood debut with 2 songs in his name - Kadam and Saansein . Overall, its one of those rare movies that really hits the right notes in your mind, while most of the scenes warms up your heart!

5. Queen (2013)

IMDB Rating : 8.2/10

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! 5/7 by Shravan K Acharya

Queen , directed by Vikas Bahl is a movie that broke a few stereotypes in the country. Rani , played by Kangana Ranaut is from a conservative family and is ditched by her husband soon after their wedding. So, she decides to go on their honeymoon alone.

She goes on an exciting trip to Europe , mainly cities like Paris and Amsterdam . Rani finds herself alone and confused in this whole new world to her. In Paris, she meets Vijayalakshmi , an Indo-French girl played by Lisa Haydon who teaches her about love, lust and life. Later, Rani finds herself travelling to Amsterdam where she shares a hostel room with three other men who become good friends with her and they start hanging out as a group.

Kangana is the star performer of the movie as she takes us all on a journey of discovering one’s own identity and making a strong statement - “ You don’t necessarily need a partner to travel. ” It’s quite the film that will inspire us, especially girls to take up solo travelling. The music album by Amit Trivedi and Rupesh Kumar Ram has some decent songs. I really appreciate the work Vikas Bahl has put into, his first standalone movie as a director. The movie has a lot of exciting scenes and overall its a feel good movie that you shouldn’t miss.

6. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

IMDB Rating : 7.1/10

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! 6/7 by Shravan K Acharya

In short know as YJHD , this movie sets off with a group of friends going on a backpacking trip to Manali . This is where the movie’s leads Naina and Kabir (aka Bunny in the movie) meet, played respectively by Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor . Bunny is accompanied by 2 friends, Aditi played by Kalki Koechlin and Avi played by Aditya Roy Kapur . In the starting half, the movie features the trekking adventures along the snowy peaks at Gulmarg, Kashmir , which in the movie is shown as Manali . With the beautiful visuals of the Himalayas , the movie is shot quite well adding value to the interesting script. During this trip, Naina discovers that she has fallen for Bunny but refrains from letting him know about it.

You will absolutely love Bunny in this film. His passion for travel and exploring the world is made clear with his job as a travel journalist. The movie later transports you to scenes from Europe , mainly Paris as you see Bunny’s exciting work life. The song Ilahi from the movie is all about Bunny enjoying the time of his life while doing what he loves, something that we all crave for.

Fast forward a bit and we are back in India , this time living the royal vibe of Rajasthan . The friends re-unite at Aditi’s royal wedding in the beautiful city of Udaipur . Here, you get glimpses of the Oberoi Udaivilas , one of the most stunning hotels in India. Most of you will definitely crave for a big fat Indian wedding in this stunning location as you watch the movie.

The Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani cast is what makes the movie exciting. Ranbir and Deepika’s chemistry on screen is phenomenal while Kalki and Aditya Roy Kapur do enough justice to their supporting characters. On screen, Bunny, Aditi and Avi are major friendship goals. I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing this movie in place of these actors.

The story is quite fresh with the visuals well complementing the script. The director of the movie, Ayan Mukherji has done a good job in making this movie something that people will keep watching and love it every single time. The music album is pretty good with songs for every occasion. Moreover, all the songs have been a major hit. The movie has a lot to offer, as the movie progresses you’ll find yourself wanting to catch up with your long lost school buddies and planning a trip with them.

7. Jab we met (2007)

IMDB Rating : 7.9/10

Photo of 7 Bollywood Travel Movies that every travel lover must watch! 7/7 by Shravan K Acharya

Last in the list is this movie I have watched numerous times and in fact it is my favourite rom-com from Bollywood. The movie starts off with a train journey where the lead characters meet in quite a unique way. Aditya , played by Shahid Kapoor is quite depressed with his dad’s death and his breakup. Geet , played by Kareena Kapoor , meets him on her train journey back to her hometown as she finds him sitting on her seat. What follows next is a rollercoaster of a ride, that makes up the later part of the movie.

The story takes a journey through various towns of Ratlam, Kota, Bhatinda, Manali and involves all sorts of mode of transportation like train, bus, rickshaw, jeep, cycle and even a truck. In the later half of the movie, it features the snowy landscapes and narrow roads of Rohtang Pass . It also features the popular Naggar Castle in one of the songs. Most of the movie was shot in North India and each city acts as a step over for both the lead characters.

Geet is one of the most loved characters in Hindi cinema. With her bubbly attitude and a mouth that never stops talking, she adds warmth to Aditya’s life who is depressed in the first half of the movie and soon starts opening up to her. Shahid and Kareena who happened to be a couple back then, gave the movie one of the best seen on screen chemistry, which makes you love the movie with all your heart.

Sometimes the trips that are spontaneous, without any sort of plan, happen to be the best trips. The movie is about this - how a single trip can be life changing with a lot of good memories to take from. It will certainly inspire you to sometimes letting go off the planning mentality and going with the flow.

That’s all folks! These are the 7 movies that you shouldn’t miss if you are a travel lover . If you happened to be on LinkedIn, let’s connect on the common love for movies and travel.

Here are the links, where you can watch the movies (Netflix and Amazon Prime) : Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , Tamasha , Dil Chahta Hai , Karwaan , Queen , Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani , Jab we met .

15 Bollywood Movies That Inspired Travel

15 Bollywood Movies That Inspired Travel

Bollywood movies have always been our perfect escape from the mundane daily routine! The three hours that we spend in the air-conditioned confines of a theatre strangely liberate us and transport us into a world of glamour, fantasy and entertainment. A joy that can perhaps only be matched to packing your bags and setting off to explore new destinations that transport you to a world of leisure, relaxation and new experiences!

Well, Bollywood movies do more than just entertain! How many times have you seen movies and not been enthralled by the enchanting locations and picture-perfect landscapes that they are shot in? Sometimes, it’s not the story, not even the actors or the entertainment on the screen that we find ourselves falling in love with but the beautiful locales and destinations that we dream of travelling to, at least once in our lifetime.

Here is a list of 15 Bollywood movies that will surely inspire and encourage you to travel, explore and celebrate life at the destinations, they have been filmed in:

1. Dil Chahta Hai (2001)

Dil Chahta Hai

A movie that set benchmarks and inspired a whole new generation to travel to Goa! Anyone who watched this incredible movie released in 2001, wanted to pack their bags and head off for a road trip to Goa with their friends. This destination, with its superb beaches, palm-fringed coastlines, heavenly Goan cuisine, friendly locals, iconic churches and relaxed beach towns became the favourite spot for youngsters and continues to remain so, even today. Along with Goa, the movie also featured the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia and probably gave many of us their very first glimpse of the Sydney Opera House and the fascinating ‘Opera’ performance. This beautifully shot movie, not only featured some iconic scenes of Goa and Sydney but also explored the beautiful relation of friendship! Also, who can forget that iconic pose of Akash, Sameer and Sid at Chapora Fort?

2. Hum Tum (2004)

Hum Tum

‘Yeh Zindagi Bahot Lambi Hai Aur Hamare Pass Waqt Bahot Kam’! A dialogue from the movie, Hum Tum that Karan (Saif Ali Khan) uses to assure Rhea (Rani Mukherjee) that they will definitely cross paths in their lifetime. If you think about it, this dialogue could also be your inspiration to travel! This movie travels along with its characters to the amazing destinations of Amsterdam, USA, Paris, Delhi and Mumbai. The characters keep meeting at different intervals in their lives and their interactions further spark off their unique chemistry and shape their story. In the very first meeting, they travel around the wonderful city of Amsterdam. Their next meeting happens in Delhi where they develop an amicable friendship. Paris proves to be a turning point for them as they discover each other better and form a healthy bond. In Mumbai, they finally realize their love for each other and every time the city they are in, plays an important role in defining or developing their relationship. This wonderful movie, inspired from the Hollywood film, ‘When Harry Met Sally’ is definitely watch-worthy and one that will urge you to travel to Paris & Amsterdam!

3. Rang De Basanti (2006)

Rang De Basanti

This movie was an awakening in itself! A revolutionary concept that highlighted patriotism, sacrifice, history and politics, in a whole new light. Apart from the brilliant performances and riveting storyline, the movie is also remembered for its honest and sublime portrayal of Delhi and Punjab. The film is primarily set in Delhi with all its characters belonging to the esteemed Delhi University.  All of us wanted to be part of DJ and his gang, as they rode off into the sunset on their bikes and gave heartfelt tributes at the India Gate while taking a victory lap around it! Who could ever forget their unique hideout where they discussed life and swayed to the beat of ‘Masti ki Paathshala’? This famed location was the ‘Nahargarh Fort’ in Jaipur, where the gang enjoyed the occasional free fall into the lake below. Punjab was prominently picturised in the movie with stunning glimpses of the Golden Temple, the Hola Mohalla festival of Anandpur Sahib and the legendary Durga Sarai Fort of Ludhiana, which even came to be known as the ‘RDB (Rang De Basanti) Fort’.

4. Jab We Met (2007)

Jab We Met

Train journeys have never been this interesting! This movie traces the path of its two main characters, Geet & Aditya, who meet on a train in Mumbai and then embark on a journey that changes their lives forever. After an epic introduction in Mumbai, they make pit-stops at Ratlam, Kota, Bhatinda, Manali and Shimla, each time encountering amusing situations that leave us in splits. As they go about these small cities and towns, they travel by different vehicles such as bus, rickshaw, truck, cycle, jeep etc. and they make you realize the sheer fun and excitement you can experience while travelling on road. The movie also introduced us to the amazing ‘Rohtang Pass’! The song, ‘Ye Ishq Hay’ was shot in the snowy landscapes of Rohtang Pass with white icy walls on either side. The song also featured the ‘Naggar Castle’, a popular tourist spot in the Kullu district. So, grab the Geet’s and Aditya’s in your life and embark on an epic journey right away…

5. Love Aaj Kal (2009)

Love Aaj Kal

Love sure travelled a lot of places in this one! The quirky romantic dramedy (drama-comedy) takes you on a whirlwind ride through London, Delhi, Kolkata, Punjab and even, San Francisco. The movie portrays its lead actors grappling with modern day commitment issues as they keep travelling and living far away from each other for the most part of the movie. It also has another flashback storyline which takes you to the villages of Punjab, the streets of Purani Dilli and gives you a glimpse of Kolkata. The modern-day characters fall in love with each other at London but amicably break up when careers take priority over everything else. One moves to Delhi while the other eventually move to San Francisco, but their connection remains strong as ever! With beautiful locales of London, charming streets of Delhi and the glorious sights of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, this movie definitely gives some serious travel goals to explore the world.

6. 3 Idiots (2009)

3 Idiots

Which pristine location comes to mind when you think of 3 Idiots? That’s right! The one & only, Leh Ladakh. This movie played an important role in popularizing the tourism of Leh Ladakh. The final climax of the movie, where Pia (Kareena Kapoor) finally meets Rancho (Aamir Khan) takes place on the banks of the Pangong Lake – a stunning Himalayan Lake that stretches between the expanses of two countries, India and China. The lake is well-known for its ever-changing shades of vibrant blue waters and the surrounding scenic landscapes that result in some unbelievable photographs. The movie made Pangong Lake so famous that most of the local eateries, small restaurants, hotels, lodges, camp stay along the banks are named after the movie title ‘3 Idiots’. The lake also features movie memorabilia where travellers can pose and get their pictures clicked, for e.g. the eco-friendly yellow scooter or the funny chair from the popular song, ‘Aal is Well’. Some scenes from the movie were also shot in Druk White Lotus School which is also popularly known as the ‘Rancho School’ now!

7. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

3 friends, 1 trip, 1 EPIC journey! This movie about 3 friends going on a bachelor trip, strengthening their friendship along the way and gradually overcoming their fears, introduced us to the stunning country of Spain. Their journey from Barcelona to Costa Brava to Buñol en route Seville and finally to Pamplona featured some of the best locations and scenic landscapes, seen in recent times. Their adventures of deep-sea diving, skydiving and the exhilarating ‘Bull Run’ and ‘ La Tomatina’ festival gave travellers some serious adventure goals to experience in Spain. ‘Seize the day my friend! Pehle Is Din Ko Poori Tarah Jiyo, Phir Chalis Ke Bare Mein Sochna’. One of the many inspiring dialogues from this movie perfectly described the need to live life to the fullest every day! So, what are you waiting for? Plan your Spanish holiday today and make your travel dream come true…

8. Barfi (2012)

Barfi

This movie is like a beautiful song that plays smoothly and makes a place in your heart with its stellar performances and breathtaking visuals! Barfi is a deaf and mute boy whose life is set in the picturesque hill station of Darjeeling. The mist-clad mountains, quaint landscapes, lush tea estates, emerald green forests, fenced pathways and charming villages play an important role in narrating the coming-of-age story of Barfi. The movie later takes place in Kolkata and showcases the colonial charm of the city along with the mature nuances that develop in Barfi’s character. The movie presents the hill station of Darjeeling in the best way possible as it features some of the most famous landmarks of the town - the Clock Tower, Glenary's Cafe and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. A treat for the eyes with its stunning locations and a treat for the heart with its touching story, Barfi is definitely a journey worth experiencing!

9. Chennai Express (2013)

Chennai Express

‘Kashmir Main…Tu Kanyakumari!’ North meets South in this quirky movie that takes you on an epic journey from Mumbai to Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu. On this amazing train journey, you get a chance to witness the breathtaking Dudhsagar Falls of Goa and the rolling lush green tea estates of Munnar. The movie also gives us a glimpse of the picturesque Devikulam hill station in Kerala, Pollachi town in Coimbatore and the Vattamalai Murugan Temple in Tamil Nadu, where Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) carries Meenamma (Deepika Padukone) up a long flight of stairs. The famous Pamban Bridge is also featured in the movie, which is India’s first sea bridge that connects the town of Rameshwaram on Pamban Island to mainland India. The movie is what you would call a perfect ‘Bollywood Masala’ movie with action, adventure, drama, romance, music, entertainment and makes for a fun-filled 3-hour cinematic ride where you get to experience the best of South Indian landscapes! If you ever needed a reason to visit the beautiful region of South India, then this is it…

10. Highway (2014)

Highway

The movie ‘Highway’ released a couple of years ago and stood out from mainstream cinema due to a lot of reasons. The story of Veera and Bhati is fondly remembered today for its unconventional story, ground-breaking performances from the lead actors, but most importantly for its picturizations of the beautiful locales of Kashmir and Himachal. The movie featured beautiful locales of Pahalgam, Aru Valley, Spiti and many such hidden gems situated around the hilly regions of the North. Highway would not have been the movie we know today, if not for the snow-clad mountains, the hills and valleys of Pahalgam, the wide highways of the North, the trundling noisy trucks, the ever-flowing icy-cold rivers and the lush greenery of the beautiful Aru valley, which had a story to tell of its own. When was the last time we escaped from the hum-drum of our city life to just sit back, relax and take in the natural beauty around us? Too long… isn’t it? It’s time now to kick off all our worries and take a journey through mountains like ‘Veera’ from Highway…

11. Queen (2014)

Queen

This movie redefined solo travel and gave many solo women travellers, the much-needed boost they were waiting for! ‘Queen’ showed us that it is okay to travel solo and how your experiences can build you as a better person while you discover yourself. Queen narrates the story of Rani (beautifully portrayed by Kangna Ranaut) who is abandoned by her fiancée, a day before the wedding; however, instead of wallowing in self-pity, she takes the bold decision of going on her honeymoon trip alone. She travels to Paris & Amsterdam and as she falls in love with these glorious cities, she also learns to fall in love with herself! The same ‘Eiffel Tower’ that scares her at first and brings about unsavoury memories, later enchants her and overwhelms her, as she admires its splendid spectacle by night. Taking us through the beautiful lanes of Paris, Amsterdam and even Delhi, this movie taught us that sometimes the journeys we take by ourselves are some of the best experiences of our lives.

12. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2014)

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Admit it! You watch this movie every time it comes on TV and you probably even know the dialogues by heart, as you mime them along with Naina and Bunny. Such is the beautiful charm and nostalgia of this wonderful movie that it brings along a breath of fresh (mountain) air, very much like the snowy hill stations featured in the movie. The first half of the movie took us through breathtaking landscapes of Gulmarg, Kashmir (portrayed as Manali in the movie) and urged the traveller in us to go hiking and trekking through the snowy hills of the Himalayas. The second half charmed us with royal palaces, magnificent forts of Rajasthan and managed to give us some serious destination wedding goals. The movie also inspired many of us to take up travel journalism and live a wanderlust life like Bunny! Capturing Srinagar, Gulmarg, Manali, Rajasthan and France like never before with an engaging storyline and amazing actor line-up, ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’ is an absolute feel-good movie that inspires us to catch up with long-lost school buddies and just travel…

13. PK (2014)

PK

Sure enough, the movie scores brownie points for Aamir Khan who perfectly portrayed an alien trying to make his way back home; but what we also loved about the movie is the picture-perfect city of Bruges, Belgium which served as the setting for a beautiful love story between the characters of Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput. PK created a milestone as it proved to be the first Bollywood movie that was shot here! The splendid canals, beautiful landscapes, colonial buildings and cobbled streets, made us fall in love with this city instantly. We even imagined cycling through the charming streets of Bruges, as we wished for our own love story to blossom in these picturesque landscapes. The movie also took us through the lanes and by-lanes of Delhi featuring some very popular and interesting sights such as Agrasen ki Baoli, Chandi Chowk, Connaught Place etc. The first few scenes of the movie, where PK (Aamir Khan) lands on Earth and begins exploring the place, has been filmed in the colourful and rustic town of Mandawa. A gem of a location that beautifully showcases the rich culture of Rajasthan, Mandawa is slowly becoming a popular tourist destination.

14. Tamasha (2015)

undefined

What happens in Corsica, stays in Corsica! This movie showcased the picture-perfect landscapes of Corsica and India fell in love! The beautiful locations and mesmerizing views were enough to make this beautiful island in France, a part of our travel list. We couldn’t believe an island could be so perfect; turquoise blue waters, glittering bays, stunning landscapes, lush greenery, craggy peaks but most of all, a unique culture bursting with local flavour and medieval charm. It seemed like the perfect getaway for the main characters of the movie and it seemed like the perfect vacation spot for everyone who watched this movie! The movie also featured the cultural hotspot of Delhi, Hauz Khas village which was featured in a heartfelt song. Interestingly enough, the female lead character’s inspiration to visit Corsica came from the famous comic book, Asterix in Corsica. Now, it’s time to make ‘Tamasha’ your inspiration and visit the breath-taking island of Corsica!

15. Piku (2015)

Piku

Piku touched hearts, in a way which we did not know was possible! It explored a turbulent yet beautiful father-daughter relationship set against the backdrop of modern, fast-paced Delhi and the quaint yet beautiful, Kolkata city. Rarely has a movie ticked all the right boxes when it comes to an engaging story, great chemistry between its actors and beautiful picturizations which slowly transcend into the story and become the soul of the movie. The road trip from Delhi to Kolkata tests the patience of the lead characters and yet manages to bring them together, by the end of the journey. The pit-stop in between at Varanasi not only explores the quiet charm of the spiritual city but also serves as the perfect setting for a heart-to-heart chat between the lead characters. Finally, the city of Kolkata, replete with its old world colonial charm manages to take our breath away and we have Piku, the movie, to thank us for that!

With so many amazing destinations and movie inspirations that encourage us to travel, it is difficult to sit still and settle down in one place! Someone has rightly said, “ If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet. ” If you are waiting for that one day when you can set off to explore the world, these Bollywood movies will surely give you the push that you need to travel and explore the world!

Rasika Wakankar

Years of writing school essays, descriptive theories for college papers and elaborate recipes for my hotel management practicals, made me realize one thing - I did not mind the writing, in fact, I loved it! Probably the reason why my blogs tend to exceed the word limit, as I pour my heart out and just keep on doing what I love to do... Write! There... I exceeded my word limit yet again! So, in 1 line only... An amateur blogger and enthusiastic traveller with dreams of writing my own book someday :)

Life Stories by Veena Patil

‘Exchange a coin and you make no difference but exchange a thought and you can change the world.’ Hi! I’m Veena Patil... Fortunate enough to have answered my calling some 35 years ago and content enough to be in this business of delivering happiness almost all my life. Tourism indeed moulds you into a minimalist... Memories are probably our only possession. And memories are all about sharing experiences, ideas and thoughts. Life is simple, but it becomes easy when we share. Places and people are two things that interest me the most. While places have taken care of themselves, here’s my podcast, which I consider to be a great platform, through which I can share some interesting stories I live and love on a daily basis with all you wonderful people out there.

Mumbai film city tour has been on my bucket list ever since I found out that such a tour existed on Bookmyshow. Of course, to experience the glitz and glamour. Being someone who is born and brought up in Mumbai, I have never travelled the city like a tourist. It was my first time, and I was totally elated to celebrate my birthday by exploring the Bollywood theme park in Goregaon Mumbai. I was not surprised to see many people from different states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, on this tour. There were hardly any Mumbaikars.

What is Mumbai Film City?

Mumbai film city is the prime location for various film and television shoots. It is located in Aarey colony, Goregaon East . Also known as Dadasaheb Phalke Chitra Nagari, the film studio complex has recording rooms, temple, prison, open grounds, gardens, mountains, lakes, and institutes, all in all one-stop for end-to-end shooting of movies and television shows. Most Bollywood films are shot at this location.

For Bollywood fans and strugglers, this is a must-visit place in Mumbai especially now that one can buy a ticket and enter the film city to explore the world of cinema, up and close.

Bollywood theme park

A unique theme park, tagged as Mumbai’s newest entertainment destination, the Bollywood theme park offers a well-planned tour for all movie enthusiasts. You can do Mumbai film city booking online from Bookmyshow.com or you can buy a ticket at the counter, near the entry gate.

We booked our tickets online and were surprised to see a bus full of people for a 12.30 pm show that too on a Wednesday. So, if you plan to buy tickets at the counter, reach early. They have many shows throughout the day, the first show starting at 11 am onwards and the last show at 4: 30 pm .

Grand sets at Bollywood Park

Mumbai Film City tour – My experience

The guided tour inside the Mumbai Film City starts as we board the AC bus, accompanied by a guide who shares the titbits of Bollywood and points out several shoot locations in an interesting manner. As a visitor, you cannot get off the bus unless the guide instructs. Nevertheless, from the bus itself, you can view several shoot locations and feel like a part of this magical world.

At the entry itself, we saw Mr. Subhash Ghai who runs a film institute, Whispering Woods, inside the film city. Later as we came across the institute the guide showed us the spots where college scenes in several movies have been shot, like 3 Idiots, Lakshya, etc.

Bollywood theme park grandeur

From time to time, the tour guide instructed us to look left and right to checkout shoot locations. The start of the tour was a little disappointing as we could hardly see any film set or actors from the bus.

Although, we saw (of course from a long distance) a few sets:

  • Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah set all dolled up for the Independence Day Celebration episode
  • Anupama set, the highest TRP show at present on TV.
  • Shaheer Sheikh is a popular Indian actor on Television (don’t know which show he was shooting for).
  • KBC and The Kapil Sharma show set (of course from the outside).

How long is the guided tour inside Mumbai Film City?

The Mumbai Film city Tour with Bollywood Park guided tour is approximately three hours. But the guide cum host was so entertaining that at no point where we bored. Despite not getting a chance to visit the live shoot locations or meet any celebrity in person, it was intriguing to be a part of this tour.

There are designated stops where the bus will halt and let you explore the sets on foot.

This was the home where Amitabh Bachchan starer Baghban was shot. The guide beautifully narrated an interesting background story that was much fun to listen.

Baghban set - Mumbai film city

Next to it is the famous temple that we all have seen in several movies. The amusing thing about the temple is that it had no idol inside. As per the film’s demand, they place the idols and shoot the scene.

Temple tour included in Mumbai film city tour

From here, we all saw the Khandala point, usually shown in movies to depict accident scenes. The Kashmir point, where the recent debacle Laal Singh Chaddha was shot, and the village shown in the movie is also inside the Mumbai film city.

It’s amazing to see these locations and relate them to the movies we have seen over the years. The tour is planned such that they have saved the best part for the last.

Bollywood Park – Main attractions

The 3-hour guided tour concludes at Bollywood Park where there’s a line-up of several activities to make you feel close to stars of our Bollywood industry. The main attractions of the Bollywood Park include:

  • Live entertainment shows
  • Dance performances by celebrity duplicates, like Salman Khan

  • Walk through the wax museum

  • Explore the Pre-designed state-of-the-art sets
  • Understand the hard work that goes into post-production activity, including Chroma shoot.
  • Click pictures at Selfie point

The live entertainment show was the icing on the cake. The dance performance by the look-alike of Salman Khan and the stand-up comedy by the look-alike of Dr. Mashoor Gulati was worth the money. All in all, you will get a good understanding of the making of the films and the hard work that makes it all magical on the big screen.

Points to remember:

  • Mumbai film city ticket price ranges from Rs. 899 to Rs. 999 depending on the day you choose to visit.
  • Book your tickets in advance and reach the venue, at least an hour in advance. (The google maps can come across as confusing as the entry shown from within the Aarey colony is for celebrities only).
  • Carry a water bottle as the bus will not stop midway and there are no shops until you reach Bollywood Park.
  • Have food at the Bollywood Park canteen. The taste is yummy, and the price is reasonable.
  • Wear comfortable shoes as you will have to walk to explore the many stops.
  • The tour might extend beyond 3 hours so have extra time on your hands.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mumbai film city tour. So, yes, it is worth visiting the Bollywood them park in Goregaon, at least once. I wish to applaud the staff for arranging a well-planned tour and providing a glimpse of the film industry. The tour guide was amazing, and his imitation of the popular movie characters added to the overall package. If you are planning for a one-day trip, this is a must-visit place in Mumbai for tourists as well as locals.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has broken her silence following the cancellation of her Vienna Eras Tour shows due to a terrorist threat.

The superstar took to her Instagram to share her usual wrap-up post, which she shares at the end of every tour city. In this lengthy carousel, she addressed having to cancel her tour dates because of a planned terrorist attack that was set to take place during the shows in Austria’s capital.

She explained that all the energy she had built up from not having to perform in Vienna, she brought to her final five shows in London. She added that she and her team worked hand in hand with British authorities and stadium staff to make sure that those record-breaking shows in Wembley Stadium were safe.

“Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows,” Swift continued. “In cases like this one, ‘silence’ is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to. My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift)

Swift’s emotional post comes a few weeks after three of her shows were canceled and three teenagers were arrested over a terrorist plot where her concerts were set to take place.

The main suspect, a 19-year-old, planned to target people who gathered outside the stadium — which could be up to 30,000 a night — with knives or homemade explosives. Two other teens were arrested and a 15-year-old was interrogated but released.
