6 Real-Life Locations Around the World Where You Can Recreate Iconic Bollywood Movie Scenes
While planning a holiday, every person has their own checklist - some seek sunny beaches, others follow their friends' recommendations, and many keep an eye on budget-friendly destinations. But then there are the film-obsessed ones - the type who would book a ticket just because Ranbir Kapoor (or honestly, anyone from Bollywood) shot a scene there. If you love both movies and travel, this story is made for you. These destinations have featured in unforgettable Bollywood moments. Travel to these places with your friends and recreate those iconic scenes. You know you want to. Eiffel Tower, Paris - Queen No Bollywood-inspired travel list is complete without the Eiffel Tower - that iron-and-lights icon of Paris. In Queen, Kangana Ranaut's character, Rani, dreams of seeing the Eiffel Tower with her fiance;. But after he dumps her, she travels solo to Paris. At first, she avoids the Eiffel Tower altogether, the sight too painful to bear. But with the help of her new friend Vijaylakshmi (played by Lisa Haydon), she rediscovers the city and ends up visiting the Tower at night - this time, not heartbroken but empowered. If you are looking for a solo travel moment with cinematic drama, this one writes itself. Washington Square Park, New York - English Vinglish Sridevi's English Vinglish is full of moments that make you want to pause and reflect. The scene shot at Washington Square Park in Manhattan captures just that. Her character, Shashi, is travelling alone for the first time. She initially enjoys the park's buzz - street performers, music, life. But when she steps into a cafe; and fails to understand the fast-paced American English, she rushes out in tears. The moment is tender and raw, and Washington Square Park becomes the silent witness to her turning point. If you are in New York, walk through the park and feel the weight of that scene, especially if you have ever felt out of place in a new country. Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, Udaipur - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Udaipur has played muse to many film directors, but it was Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani that made sunset-watching at Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace a millennial ritual. Ranbir Kapoor's Bunny and Deepika Padukone's Naina share one of their most heartwarming exchanges here. "Life mein kitna bhi try karlo Bunny, kuch na kuch toh miss hoga hi..." Naina says, as the golden sun sets behind them. Bunny listens, for once without interrupting, and something shifts between them. If you are headed to Udaipur, this is your cue to grab a sunset drink and quote lines from your favourite travel film. Bunol, Spain - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Spain. Friends. Tomatoes flying at your face. Need we say more? Bunol is home to the iconic Tomatina Festival, where Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara filmed its most colourful sequence. Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol are drenched in tomato pulp, laughing through a travel dream that feels both ridiculous and freeing. If you are planning a trip to Spain, time it around the last Wednesday of August and join the tomato madness. Just maybe carry an extra set of clothes. Hoboken Terminal, New Jersey - Kal Ho Naa Ho There are Bollywood scenes. And then there is that scene. Shah Rukh Khan's Aman runs to stop Preity Zinta's Naina from leaving, confesses his love- indirectly, of course - and everyone cries. This moment unfolds at Hoboken Terminal in New Jersey, with the Hudson River in the backdrop. Aman pretends to read Rohit's diary but ends up baring his own heart. The station, with its vintage architecture and waterfront views, is perfect for reliving one of Bollywood's most emotional confessions. Even if you are just there to catch a train, expect nostalgia to hit hard. King's Cross Station, London - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge This one is for every Bollywood romantic who has ever quoted DDLJ without shame. At London's King's Cross Station, Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) sees Simran (Kajol) for the first time as she rushes to catch her train. It is not the mustard fields, but this scene sets their story in motion - with a missed connection, a helping hand, and a train that changes everything. This station is a pilgrimage spot for Bollywood fans. And yes, it is also where the Harry Potter gang caught the Hogwarts Express. Call it the ultimate crossover of desi meets global. Love These Locations? From Parisian nights to Udaipur sunsets, these are not just film locations - they are travel experiences wrapped in nostalgia.

Step inside Shikhar Dhawan's home featuring cricket wall decked up with Dhoni's gloves and bat signed by Virat Kohli
In episode 1 of Taakat, Ranveer Allahbadia's new video series, which dropped on May 24, former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan gave a tour of his beautiful home. Shikhar, known for his explosive batting, showcased a prized collection of cricket memorabilia in the hour tour video – a cricket wall with everything from calm and composed MS Dhoni's gloves and bats signed by intense and passionate Virat Kohli and others. Also read | Step inside Yuvraj Singh's Goa bungalow perched up on a picturesque hill with the most stunning view, serene vibe: Pics The cricket wall seems to be a dedicated space in his home to celebrate his career and connections with fellow cricketers. Shikhar's memorabilia wall reflects his own experiences and achievements in the sport – the display included several Man of the Match trophies, stumps and other memorabilia reflecting Shikhar's illustrious career, particularly his standout performances. There is also a huge candid photo of Shikhar from a cricket field. Interesting lighting highlights the memorabilia, as a wooden shelf holds some of the items together. Shikhar's living room feels open and inviting with white walls, white curtains, and glass windows creating a bright, expansive atmosphere. The wooden doors add warmth, while the interesting artwork serves as the heart of the design — from a bold red Bollywood-inspired painting injecting energy to a floral pink piece adding softness and the majestic horse painting celebrating Shikhar's favourite animal. The mix of modern and cultural elements creates a unique, personalised space that feels both luxurious and lived-in. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows dominate one wall, framing views of the cityscape. The rest of the home is a bright, airy, and spacious sanctuary. The glass and wooden furniture and doors create a seamless flow between rooms, balancing warmth and transparency. Comfortable furniture and furnishings in neutral tones like whites and beiges enhance the airy vibe, while potted plants add a touch of greenery.

Tom Cruise Speaks Hindi, Says 'Aap Sabse Pyar Karta Hu' During Mission: Impossible Promotions
Last Updated: Tom Cruise praised Bollywood and spoke of his desire to make a Bollywood-inspired film while promoting The Final Reckoning. Before the release of Mission: Impossible 8, Tom Cruise shared a warm message for his Indian fans, remembering his visit to India and praising Bollywood. In a recent chat with BFI, he spoke about his goal to take Hollywood beyond the U.S. and explore different cultures and filmmaking styles. Cruise said he enjoys Indian movies and would love to try making a Bollywood-inspired film someday. He's currently promoting The Final Reckoning, which got a five-minute standing ovation at its premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. In a video that's now going viral, Tom Cruise is seen flashing a wide smile and impressing fans with his solid Hindi as he says, 'Main aap sabse bohot pyaar karta hoon (I love you all a lot)." He continues, 'I love Bollywood films. It's something that I have grown up watching—musicals from different countries. The skill it takes to do what you all do is so natural. I love it when someone suddenly breaks into a song. It's beautiful." Tom Cruise spoke about his love for Bollywood while chatting with actress Avneet Kaur at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where she was promoting her film Love in Vietnam with Shantanu Maheshwari. Earlier, Avneet had shared photos with Cruise from their meeting at the London premiere of The Final Reckoning. She also visited the film's set last year, which started rumors that she might be part of the last Mission: Impossible movie, but nothing has been confirmed yet. News18 Showsha gave the film three and a half stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'What truly sets The Final Reckoning apart is its tone. It's not just an action blockbuster. It's an elegy. A goodbye. A thank-you. And somehow, despite all the chaos, it's also a reckoning with legacy, with sacrifice, with what it really means to be a hero when the world keeps moving the goalpost."
