Last week when my friend told me that they are planning a family trip to kashmir I was quite happy. Coz it is an alarm that indicates Puja is coming. Durga Puja, one of the biggest festival in Bengal. Lots of people generally take long vacation and go for a trip this time. When should I go to enjoy in my way with my friends? It was the biggest question that comes into my mind. So I took some DVD to find out travel locations in India. I saw almost 10 - 12 movies in last three days but there are only 5 that i loved most.
The Beach - In a Bangkok hotel, Richard receives a map from his neighbor, who commits suicide soon after. He decides to pursue the location in an effort to locate a mysterious beach, purported to be a hidden tropical paradise. He manages to find the location along with a couple and is accepted into the community that has taken up shelter in the island. The movie traces the lives of the three protagonists as they go about their daily lives in the island. The movie was shot in the island of Ko Phi Phi Islands and is one of the very few Hollywood productions to explore the beautiful beaches in Thailand.
Darjeeling Limited - Darjeeling Unlimited is a quirky movie about three brothers as they travel through India after their father's funeral. The journey takes them trips through numerous Indian provinces, encountering funny situations like having their loafers stolen by a shoe-shine boy, buying a cobra, which later escapes from its transport container and finally getting thrown off the train. Director Wes Anderson revealed that he was inspired by The River by Jean Renoir and the films of Satyajit Ray. He had dedicated the movie to Satyajit Ray. The movie shot largely in parts of Rajasthan, including Jodhpur and Udaipur.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - The movie follows a group of Britishers as they arrive in a hotel in Jaipur. Each member of the family have their share of emotional baggage and movie showcases how they interact with the Indian culture and less luxurious surroundings. Though sugary the plot tugs at your heartstrings for its pure warmth and the shots of Jaipur and Udaipur alone makes the movie worth a watch
Into the Wild - Based on a true story, it is easily one of the best movies that showcases travel, adventure and life in general. Christopher Mccandless is fresh out of college and rather than look out for job like the rest of his peers, he gives away all his savings and hitchhike to Alaska. During the journey Chris encounters numerous characters and experiences that shape his perspective about life. The movie is a brilliant showcase of the good and bad instances a traveler experiences and to tops it off with a profound quote in the end.
One Week - Jackson is diagnosed with cancer but rather than opt for a treatment, he decides to go on a bike ride across Canada. The movie captures Jackson's raw emotions in dealing with his diagnosis, girlfriend and family. Jackson sees the trip as a quest to find "Grumps", a mythical character introduced to him by his father when he was a kid. Along his journey, Jackson meets a cancer survivor during a stay in the hotel, and a backpacker who breathes new perspectives into his life.
Finally I'm also planning for a trip with some of my college friends. If you have the same plan in Puja I request for your inputs in comment box below about Cheap Hotels in India.
