As ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ is set to be recreated, this time with all the woman lead, here are 5 Hindi road-trip films for you to binge watch with friends:
1) Karwaan
A guy stuck in an IT job, learnt about the death of his father, which leads him to a road trip along with his friend Shaukat (Irfan Khan), that further activates various twists and turns in the film. One could solely watch this movie for how each character in the film lives an entire lifetime in an unplanned journey.
2) Chef
The movie, though a remake of a Hollywood movie with the same name, will take you on a sweet-tangy ride and leave you emotionally surfeit by the end. Though it wasn’t a commercial success, Saif Ali Khan indeed delivered one of his best performances through this 2017 movie.
3) Highway
A film about all possible aspects of a journey. Freedom, bondage, danger, rush, fear, love, hills, roads, and the list goes on. It might not be the first movie that portrays a Stockholm Syndrome scenario, yet this beautiful film is a master piece by Imtiyaz Ali.
4) Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Soulful road trip, memories of past, old long-time friends, horses running in the meadows, underwater dive, finding love on a journey… this drive relax your mind and soothes your heart.
5) Piku
An easy going film, with a loving yet frustrated father-daughter relation. Absolutely terrific performances from Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Irfan Khan.
