Rishikesh in Sonu ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018)
Though it’s not a travel movie by any means, the track “Subah Subah” is a sweet song about road trips, bromance and romance. The song begins with Sunny Singh as Titu and Nushrat Bharucha as Sweety getting engaged, and from there the trip begins. Shot in the mesmerizing locales of Rishikesh, you have a pristine view of the Ganga River flowing beside a ‘beach party’. There are some fun rafting scenes amidst the clear blue waters, and a hot cup of ‘chai’ at a roadside stall.

When Goa and New York have been done to death, director Imtiaz Ali takes us to Corsica, a tiny island on the Mediterranean Sea. Every frame is a picture-postcard-picturesque with quaint little houses, mountainous city streets, the limpid blue sea, thick forests and mountain peaks. The movie was also known for its amazing Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone chemistry, its carefree atmosphere where nobody knows you and the local flavor.

Don’t we all want to have a travel scrapbook like Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor), where you have Kashmir, Europe, Udaipur and Paris all rolled into one? This movie inspires you to escape from the city heat, to Manali, play with snowballs, and travel around the world! Fortunately for Bunny, he makes travelling both his passion and career. The word ‘wanderlust’ has been coined for him in the movie.

With your best friends by your side and the wow landscapes – this movie has made Spain one of the most popular travel destinations for Indians now.
Though money and time is always a major factor, save up for a summer trip with your friends. If you find that there is nobody to accompany you, no worries! Just choose a fantastic location, plan your tickets, pack your bags and enjoy the bright summer holidays!
