10 Travel Movies To Watch During Lockdown!
Lockdown has
made all of us a couch potato…. quiet literally!
Honestly,
things have drastically changed. Now, complaining about the scenarios and the
pertaining issues would bring us to no solution. This will even more lead to
mental stress and might also make you irksome even about the petty issues. And
I am sure this is the last thing you would want to happen to you. So, coming to
the main point, what are we discussing today? Well, speaking about being a
couch potato, I have been off-lately binge-watching content on several OTT
Platforms. These include basic Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and
Disney+Hotstar.
Since, this
is one time where we all just stay home and stay safe – watching content is one
of the productive things we can do, right? Believe it or not, we all want to be
productive but there is surely no pressure. A wise person once advised me,
“Aanya, Read, Watch, Write!”
Well, I have
not ever got much time to sit down and watch movies or series. So, this
Lockdown has brought me a realization – and that is I am more of a movie
person. I love watching films. I ca watch as many films back to back. Of
course, certain conditions persist. So, without adding any additional lines, below
are 5 films you must watch if you love traveling.
So, there
are two categories Hollywood and Bollywood, each of them has 5 films each!
Here we go!
1. Eat, Pray, Love:
This has
hands down become my favorite films of all time. “You are a world traveler”,
says Ketut to Liz. In her urge and passion to travel the world, she takes a
break of a year. She distributes her year month-wise and visits – Rome, India,
and then Bali. When you finish the film, just ask yourself one question “What
is your word?”

2. Forrest Gump:
After
watching Tom Hank’s Forrest Gump. I started addressing people in the copied
accent, “Hi! My name is Forrest, Forrest Gump!”. Oh, I do love the film. Not
just that Gump makes you travel the US along with his zest to live life.

3. Hangover Part II:
Well,
everybody loves the Hangover trio. But Hangover part II will take you to an
escapade to Bangkok. There are some quirks of all the wrongdoings that the pack
devours themselves in at Stu’s Wedding.

4. P.S. I Love You:
To be
honest, initially, I had never watched this movie as a “travel” inspiration, or
anything related. But when recently, I thought of making a list of movies, and
now that I recall the film – how wonderfully the film is set in the picturesque
of Wicklow Mountains.

5. The Darjeeling Limited:
The name of
the film is based on an Indian city Darjeeling, well so is the film. The three
brothers and their wish to experience a “spiritual awakening” makes you stick
straight throughout their train journey in India. There are certain cliché
remarks, which adds to the humor.

The above
films you might have watched but missed the travel nuances, even I did that.
But now that you think of, they do offer such an amazing picture, it is because
of the locations, the beautiful set frames.
Moving on to
Bollywood films!
1. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani:
After the
release of this film, every second person was Bunny or wanted to be one. This
film is alive in each one of our hearts for different reasons, but travel
remains prominent. The Manali trip, the Kashmir scenic beauties and some
glimpses of Europe – isn’t it enough to watch it?

2. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara:
The three
musketeers and their road trip to Spain – the dream of most of us youngsters.
Yes, the movie seems to OTT because not all of us could afford a trip to Spain
and do adventures in the new land. Finding love, finding yourself, patching up
with a lost friend becomes secondary when you hear the local languages and see
the local markets. Watch it! Now.

3. Queen:
Our very own
solo travel queen! The way Kangana’s character after being ditched for her
wedding still chooses to go on her honeymoon – alone! The character suddenly
becomes a cool and brave girl who wants to live her life and opens to the
world!

4. Piku:
I remember watching this film, when one of the major earthquakes had hit India. Despite the natural hiccups that was caused in the theatre, we watched this beautiful film. Apart from the father-daughter duo, Irfan Khan played his character so well. His character was a binding role in the film. The trio travel to Kolkata via road. You will be mesmerized how beautifully is the Kolkata streets shown in the film. A must watch!

5. Dil Chahta Hai:
The OG of
all travel films! Dil Chahta Hai! A Goa road trip with three best friends has
been a dream of ours. The iconic Goa locations and the beautiful journey of the
three friends are beautifully written and executed. A masterpiece indeed.
