However, in 2015, the Hindi film industry gifted us some new international locations which are breathtakingly beautiful.
Here are the top 5 picks:
-
- Bulgaria: This one is again owed to filmmaker Rohit Shetty and his ‘Dilwale’ team. The film was shot extensively in Sofia, where Shetty made sure to cover every possible exotic and exciting locale of the capital city. Bollywood fans also got a chance to see the famous Lions’ Bridge over the Vladaya River.
-
- Corsica: This sun-kissed, French island in the Mediterranean Sea became the season’s most favourite spot, thanks to Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Tamasha’. Tara (Deepika Padukone) and Ved’s (Ranbir Kapoor’s) fun-filled and free-spirited romance made many young couple Google Corsica and put it in their travel wish-list.
-
- Iceland: The Nordic island country between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean has got a new colour – ‘gerua’ (saffron) – after Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol ignited their on-screen chemistry in Iceland for ‘Dilwale’. The audience got hooked to their seats as the makers took them on a virtual travel to Iceland’s basalt columns, Skógafoss waterfall and the shallow sea near Vestrahorn Mountain within the few minutes’ duration of the song.
-
- . Poland: The Central European country got a ‘Shaandaar’ response as a new hotspot for destination wedding in 2015. The wedding sequences and the light-hearted romance between Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt at Zamoyski Palace in Kozłówka in eastern Poland, made many dreamy-eyed and fall in love with the country.
-
- Romania: The makers of Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson starrer ‘Singh Is Bliing’ brought to the audience many unexplored areas of Romania. Be it the historic wartime architecture remains at Romanian capital Bucharest or the climax shot at Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, the film was a visual treat for the wanderlust souls.
