If you are seeking some inspiration to plan your next holiday then here are some entertaining travel-based movies for you:
This Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer romantic drama still captures hearts, rekindles emotions and makes you fall in love with Indian cinema all over again. The evergreen Bollywood movie starts with a train journey in Switzerland. It progresses with Raj and Simran’s love brewing amidst the splendid views of London and Switzerland, with the second part shot in the familiar farms of Punjab. The movie has shown a fair share of train scenes, which is the heart of every romantic Hindi movie. Even the concluding scenes of DDLJ see Kajol running beside the moving train to catch Raj’s extended hand, marking one of the most iconic scenes in the history of Indian cinema.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)
IMDb Rating: 7.2/10
I personally blame this movie for igniting a travel buff in me. A trip with childhood friends isn’t just a thought, it’s an emotion for every youngster out there and that’s what YJHD exquisitely captured. Aditi, Adi, and Bunny embark on a journey into the hearts of Manali along with an introverted and nervous Naina and make some of the most memorable memories that are hard to skip your mind even after years. Naina realising her love with soulful music ‘Subhanallah’ playing with a backdrop covered in snow is no less than a dream. Thanks to YJHD’s release in 2013, Manali has received a high number of Indian visitors ever since.

Jab We Met (2007)

Yet another Bollywood romantic movie that starts with a train journey. The energetic extrovert Geet meets depressed introvert Aditya and they unexpectedly embark on an adventure to the beautiful fields of Punjab, snow-covered views of Rohtang Pass, and straight out of painting Shimla’s majestic stills. As Geet and Aditya slowly find love in each other, travelling to interesting places, and dancing in the rain, little did they know that a travelling keeda was born inside of us, waiting to explore our adventurous side.

Tamasha (2015)
IMDb Rating: 7.4/10
Tamasha starts with featuring Tara roaming the streets of Corsica, confused and robbed of her money, bag, & documents and carefree Ved who offers to help her. As they wander through the streets of a stunning island in France, they come closer, and an epic love story begins. This masterpiece of a movie shows us everything in two hours from the splendid visuals of Corsica to the serene lanes of Shimla where Ved’s childhood was captured and some soul-hitting life lessons that director Imtiaz Ali depicts in a manner which is called pure ‘art’.
