When nature calls the shots

Thanks to Bollywood, we have had the opportunity to witness some of the most beautiful places on the 70mm screen. Our films have had a long standing relationship with love songs and many story plots also require to be shot in exotic hill stations. Here, we enlist a few such picturesque locations that have helped us savour the beauty of nature on screen.

Kedarnath

Resting in the lap of the mighty Himalayas, Kedarnath is a beautiful religious town in Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand that is important because of the ancient Kedarnath Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The movie, starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan, showed picturesque locations and was one of the plus points of the movie.

For the love of Kashmir 
Raazi

Raazi, starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, has been shot amidst the gorgeous locales of Kashmir, also called heaven on earth. Raazi captures the true essence of the destination and how it is home yet a little away from home. Apart from Kashmir, some of the major parts of the movie have been shot in Delhi’s Miranda House.
