2. Tamasha 

This Imtiaz Ali movie is intense and complex but deals with the very pertinent and relevant question most people our generation have these days ‘Who are we really?’ Stuck in the monotonous everyday routine of our lives, we struggle to be the best versions of ourselves, we struggle to be free, the way we were as children, the way we are on vacations. But emotional relevance aside, the movie garnered huge love for its carefree travel scenes on the beautiful Italian island of Corsica. Watch Tamasha to escape your reality and watch as it then carefully brings you back to life-altering reality.

3. London Paris New York 

The movie is ripe with misunderstandings and heartbreaks and all similar issues that crop up with undefined long-distance relationships but what it portrays very beautifully is how an Indian girl and boy make the best of their limited time in three of the best cities in the world. They roam around all the touristic places, explore the amazing food all the while falling in love with each other and the cities. Watch the movie to imagine yourself being given a limited time, a fabulous travel partner and a few nights to just be free.

4. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani 

While we could write a generic description here, it could never do any justice. YJHD is not just a movie, but a sentiment that everyone who watched it felt differently about. Whether you identify yourself with Kabir, the travel freak who thinks the world is his oyster or Naina, a shy introverted girl who just had her first taste of freedom or Avinash who’s just looking for a purpose in life now that everyone you know has moved on in life, or Aditi, the wide-eyed girl who’s stuck in a one-sided love story - chances are that the way your character evolves has you pressing play on this movie repeatedly. With a strong cast, beautiful songs, pretty travel locations, and deep life introspection moments, the movie is a very strong partner to ZNMD and is the perfect member of this list.

Just be honest, the moment the whole street dances to ‘pretty woman’, you cannot stop yourself from singing along either, can you? And those aunties?
