Even Bollywood Couldn't Resist From Wanderlust

Bollywood certainly knows how to capture the true essence of wanderlust into visuals so brilliantly that it almost entices you to throw you boring life out the window and fill it with spontaneity. But maybe some things are best suited for the silver screen because when practicality kicks in and makes you glance at your wallet, tables turn. So, until we've saved enough to make travel our life, let's continue traveling through space and time and witness the magic of wanderlust through Hindi cinema. Take off your blinkers folks, it's showtime.

Dil Chahta Hai

When this film hit the theatres in 2001, it created an experience so unusual and unique that we still haven't been able to get over it. Three best friends embark on the journey of life; sounds cliched? Well, they kind of created that cliche for Bollywood. The film is all kinds of brilliant; there is dancing, singing, flirting, emotional upheavals and 'traveling'.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

You'd be lying if you say that this film didn’t make you want to call your friends and crank up your car's tank. From the snow-capped mountains of Manali to the clear blue skies of Paris, YJHD has given us all travel goals.

Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge

DDLJ was one of the first Bollywood films that created a character out of an exotic destination and set a benchmark for all other Hindi movies that dealt with travel as a theme. Green grass, blue skies and breathtaking landscapes, Europe has been everyone's dream destination since.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

If this film didn't change your definition of a Euro trip, we don't know what will. Three men break away from the daily humdrum of their life and embark on a journey that changes their perspective towards life. A journey of self-realization, a journey of friendship and a journey of positive change, and with all that we have adventure, hilarious jokes, and two and a half hours of uncensored entertainment.

Tamasha

Imtiaz Ali and his films, what do we even say. We all virtually felt ourselves walking through the jeweled lanes and white sands of Corsica while Ranbir and Deepika did their share of 'Matargasti'.
