Bollywood buffs like me will agree to the fact that movies showcase a location in an exotic manner. Bollywood has some of the most exotic shooting locations which have become a huge hit. Most movies have also increased the popularity of various places that remained unexplored. Only a movie buff will understand the excitement of walking into the same location where your favorite stars once romanced. Here are the top locations featured in Bollywood movies which are now very famous tourist destinations.
