Have you ever watched a movie and thought to yourself ,“I so want to travel there now?” Movies are undoubtedly a great way to inspire, motivate and bring to light unique places in the world. The magic of movies lies in how it transports you to another time and place– it temporarily brings you to their reality. The film industry, no matter whether it is Hollywood or Bollywood has a significant influence on viewers. Bollywood being the biggest film industry in the world follows an identical pattern of creating masala movies involving some of the world’s finest locations, featuring different cultures and colorful camera work whereas, Hollywood presents stunning destinations that actually drive viewers to visit places they have never thought of going to before. Essential to that experience, of course, is the movie's setting.
Not that wanderlust ever really needs any encouragement, wild, relentless and overwhelming as it is, sometimes when you’re stuck at home it just feels best to feed the travel beast within however you can. And here you are, sitting comfortably on your couch with popcorn in your hand, lights off and screen on, everthing you can see is your screen's world. Whether it is the famous 'Fast and Furious' shot in Brazil, 'Slumdog Millionaire' in India, 'Harry Potter' in England or 'Mission Impossible 2' captured in Australia- you can instantly escape to your favorite destination & let it fuel your wanderlust.
