1) Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
People throwing
tomatoes at each other, bulls chasing humans, and the exhilarating idea of
plummeting off an aircraft, all in one. This movie gave us hopes about finding
love in foreign lands (and obviously, road trips). It succeeded in unleashing
the travel freak in all of us with the scenic beauty of the Spanish
countryside, and of course ‘Senorita’
which had everyone flamenco dancing (in their heads) with Farhan, Hritik, and
Abhay. Speaking of road trips, ZNMD
reminded fans about failed trip plans to Goa which brings me to the next movie;
2) Dil Chahta Hai
Every time I
think of this film, I picture the very young Aamir Khan, Akshay Khanna, and
Saif Ali Khan cruising down highways in a BMW convertible, racing trains (I
hope the title track is now stuck in your head as well.) What makes the movie
so relatable is its depiction of fun and frivolity while in Goa, like sitting
at beach shacks, or ruined forts overlooking the sea, playing volleyball with
good looking strangers, going on boat rides, pretending to eat raw fish. (Dil Chahta Hai also mesmerises everyone with views of Sydney, with Aamir and Preity’s
love song!)
3) Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
SRK and Kajol
driving together around Switzerland in a kickass convertible, undoubtedly gives
us major travel goals (*cue ‘Zara Sa
Jhoom Loon Main’*). Everyone has to agree that Kajol
dancing on the top of a snowy mountain in a daring red dress to the lyrics ‘Thandi Thandi Pavan’ while Shah Rukh tries
to keep up with her is one of the most memorable moments of the song.
4) Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Of course Dharma
had to choose the charming Ranbir Kapoor to persuade everyone to unleash the
hidden, crazy traveller in them. This movie had literally everyone dreaming
about backpacking across the world, while getting paid for the same. From chilling
with your friends in Manali, to playing Holi, to falling in love, to attending
a destination wedding; viewers bought it all. But then reality nudged its ugly
head against ours and we realized that only Dharma and KJo’s magic can make us
dream such dreams (to all the fans out there- I feel your pain. I really do).
Due to this power that Dharma alone possesses, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani will always be my go-to movie.
5) Dil Dhadakne Do
Another one of
Zoya Akthar’s directorial masterpieces, the light-hearted Dil Dhadakne Do guarantees entertainment with every watch. A
chaotic holiday on a ship to Istanbul, with the most sensible creature among
all of it being the dog (duh), the movie takes viewers on an exotic virtual
tour around the city. Showcasing heritage sights, hot air balloon rides, steam
baths, and local marketplaces, this movie had me wishing I was born with a million
dollars in my bank account.
6) Queen
The insecure and
shy Rani who gets dumped on the morning of her wedding, on going on a solo trip
to Paris realises that she is an independent woman who don’t need no man.
Her various experiences in the city as a traveller, and the friends she makes, help
define the travel goals of this movie. In conclusion, all I’d like to say is
YASSS QUEEN.
