Come
summer
and
everybody
hops
on
the
vacation
bandwagon
in
hopes
of
travel
and
sightseeing.
But
in
Bollywood’s
everlasting
fantasy,
the
feeling
goes
all
year
round.
Whether
it’s
the
demand
of
a
story
or
a
dream
sequence,
movies
are
often
our
window
to
the
world.
Plots
woven
around
road
trips
and
globetrotting
are
one
thing.
But,
sometimes,
even
a
single
song’s
exploration
of
cities
and
countries
can
take
us
on
quite
a
journey.
As
the
spirit
of
summer
holiday
takes
over,
here’s
looking
at
15
Hindi
songs
(from
a
never-ending
pile
of
travel
friendly
moments
and
melodies)
whose
tourist-y
picturisation
transported
us
into
a
feast
of
sights
and
sceneries
on
silver
screen.
Ajooba
from
Jeans
Shankar’s
ambitious
picturisation
of
Ajooba,
which
likens
love
to
the
seven
wonders
of
the
world
offers
a
breathtaking
view
of
architectural
marvels
from
different
corners
of
earth
from
Egypt
to
the
USA
to
India.
How’s
that
for
around
the
world
in
5
minutes
with
an
ethereal
Aishwarya
for
tour
guide?
Safar
from
Jab
Harry
Met
Sejal
Speaking
of
tour
guide,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
fulfilling
his
professional
duties
against
the
backdrop
of
the
mellifluous

gives
a
bleak
glimpse
of
his
desolate
life
while
gorgeously
showcasing
Europe’s
topmost
attractions.
Ilahi
from
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani
Ranbir
Kapoor’s
wanderlust
becomes
the
subject
of
much
conflict
in
his
bourgeoning
romance.
One
good
glimpse
of
him
filming
Paris
at
its
glamorous
best
in
the
soulful
Ilahi
is
enough
to
conclude
vagabond-1,
valentine-0.
Bol
Na
Halke
Halke
from
Jhoom
Barabar
Jhoom
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Preity
Zinta’s
romantic
reverie
during

covers
everything
between
Delhi’s

Tomb
to
Agra’s
Taj
Mahal
in
their
historic
itinerary.
I
Feel
Good
from
Anjaana
Anjaani
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Priyanka
Chopra
appear
more
than
happy
to
let
their
hair
down
capturing
the
frothy
and
fun
vibe
of
Sin
City
while
they
fittingly
chant,
I
Feel
Good.
Dil
Chahta
Hai
from

Hai
The

Hai‘s
troika

Khanna
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
—
celebrating
their
bromance
against
the
lively
landscapes
of
the
region’s
famous
forts
and
beaches
continues
to
inspire
new
tourists
and
old.

cheering
up
Juhi
Chawla
all
over
the
Swiss
capital
of

Hota
Hai
Full
scale
London
darshan,
Salman
Khan’s
groovy
90s
fashion
—
Pehli
Pehli
Baar‘s
tune
may
take
blatant
inspiration
from
Patrick
Hernandez’s
Born
To
Be
Alive
but
there’s
oodles
of
eye
candy
to
be
found
in
its
touristic
pleasures.
Ek
Din
Kahin
from
Aur
Pyar
Ho
Gaya
Bobby
Deol
and
his
dream
girl
Aishwarya
Rai
cut
across
Singapore’s
popular
sightseeing
attractions
over
the
course
of
him
envisioning
a
meet-cute
between
the
two
against
the
sparkling
beats
of
Ek
Din
Kahin.
Yeh
Ishq
Hai
from
Jab
We
Met
Travel
is
the
heartbeat
of
Imtiaz
Ali’s
cinema.
But
even
in
standalone
numbers
like
Yeh
Ishq
Hai,
Kareena’s
bursting
joy
and
Shahid’s
shy
admiration
compels
us
to
join
them
on
the
scenic
ride
from
the
Rohtang
pass
to
Kulu’s
Naggar
Castle.
He
Baba
Re
Baba
from
Jeevan
Ek
Sanghursh
Remember
when
Anil
Kapoor
and
Madhuri
Dixit
got
so
high
they
thought
they’d
turned
into
giants
in
a
trippy
song
of
Jeevan
Ek
Sanghursh?
Except
they’re
not
and
it’s
the
magnificent
miniature
city
of
Madurodam
in
Holland
better
known
for
its
world-class
tulips.

Kashmir
Hai
from
Bemisaal

raving
about

Kashmir
Hai‘s
paradise
on
earth
attributes
even
as
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Raakhee
and
Vinod
Mehra
delight
in
its
postcard-perfect
lakes,
landscapes
and
shikara
fervour
is
all
kind
of
bemisaal.
Chandni
O
Meri
Chandni
from
Chandni
Yash
Chopra’s
fondness
for
the
Swiss
Alps
is
part
of
his
legend,
which
not
only
turned
it
into
every
desi
honeymooner’s
ultimate
choice
but
earned
him
the
honour
of
an
eponymous
lake.
And
Chandni‘s
title
song
captures
this
long-lasting
fascination
most
memorably.
Sayonara
from
Love
in
Tokyo
Over
five
decades
have
passed
since
Love
in
Tokyo‘s
introduction
to
Japan
for
many
of
us.
Yet
what’s
truly
incredible
is
how
modern
and
advanced
the
city
seems
even
in
its
(now)
vintage
avatar.
Rimjhim

Sawan
from

magic
as
they
amble
through
South
Mumbai’s
landmarks
to
the
tune
of
Rimjhim
Gire
Sawan‘s
lilting
romance
is
an
enduring
if
not
only
memory
of
Manzil.
