Movies are a manifestation of our dreams. We live vicariously through our favourite heroes or villains and extract pleasure out of their happiness on screen.

Fret not, for today I will familiarise you with your favourite movie locations besides giving you the best hotel or homestay options to experience such places. So, here are 10 hotels and homestays to revisit your favourite Bollywood movies:

And the city of Amsterdam was the perfect location for this emancipation. Now it's time for you to visit the place and be free.
Imtiaz Ali is a magician when it comes to showcasing exotic locales in his movies, and Tamasha is no different. After watching this movie, I had an uncontrollable urge to just pack my bags and jet off to Corsica in France. Fortunately, the homestays here are just as beautiful. Check this out.
Continuing with the wealthy travel oeuvre of Imtiaz Ali, his inspiring Highway was all about getting out of your comfort zone and letting yourself be completely free. Although Kashmir has been showcased a lot already in our movies, but it was the village of Pahalgam, in particular, that took our hearts away in this movie.
Everyone remembers that romantic poolside sequence mid-way in Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani, where Ranbir Kapoor's character is hopelessly trying to woo Deepika Padukone's character. The surroundings are gorgeous, and you can actually book and stay inside that very hotel in Udaipur.
Your Bollywood education is grossly incomplete if you haven't somehow watched Shah Rukh Khan gyrating on top of a train to a legendary Bollywood item number called Chhaiya Chhaiya. The song was filmed en route to Coonoor, a quaint hill station down south.

Were you also as perplexed as I was when the mythical character of Ranchhodh Das turned out to be Javed Jaffery and not Aamir Khan in a particular scene in the blockbuster that was 3 Idiots? That was shot in a gorgeous Victorian hotel located in Shimla.
You can book a room here and revisit the hilarious movie.
Guru was probably the only Bollywood movie where the Bachchan scion was tolerable, at best. But what was more than merely tolerable was the sublime destination at which director Mani Ratnam shot some of the scenes, especially the song Barso Re where Aishwarya Rai is seen dancing by a waterfall. They are the Athirapally Waterfalls in Kerala and you can actually book a hotel right across them and cherish the view.
How much: Rs. 10,132
