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.

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!

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!

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

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?
