This Valentine’s Day, recreate magical moments from recent movies and romance Bollywood-style. After all, every now and then you are allowed to celebrate your love with cliches.
1. PK | Belgium
PK was the first movie ever to be shot in Bruges. Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput fall in love in this fairy tale city.
The quaint medieval city of Bruges is touristy— no doubt about that. But you can’t miss the romantic air in its cobbled lanes, Gothic architecture, and idyllic canals. Glide through the city on bicycles and see the Markt, the Burg square, Minnewater Park, and museums. A boat tour of the city is exceptionally romantic.
2. DILWALE Iceland
In the song Gerua, Shahrukh Khan and Kajol are romancing on the south coast of Iceland.
If you’re doing romance, do it in Shahrukh-Kajol style. This abandoned plane where the pair is getting googly-eyed exists on the dramatic black sand beach at Sólheimasandur. It was in 1973 that this US Navy plane crashed here after running out of fuel but there were no casualties. The remains are still here, beguiling tourists as well as filmmakers. Go on drives to Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, Vestrahorn mountain, Jökulsárlón, and Diamond Beach—all of these are very popular.
3. DIL DHADAKNE DO | Turkey
