Telling tales via journeys: Bollywood’s latest route

New Delhi, May 20: Be it a train journey in “Chennai Express”, the National Highway journeys in “Highway” and “NH10″, a father-daughter journey from Delhi to Kolkata in latest entertainer “Piku” or a cruise trip in the forthcoming “Dil Dhadakne Do” – Bollywood filmmakers are telling fresh tales set around journeys, mode notwithstanding.This has also helped them to move away from studios and explore real locales. A case in point is the absolutely splendid shot Rohit Shetty took of the Dudhsagar Falls in Goa. Then, there are shots of places like Varanasi which Shoojit Sircar has captured in “Piku”.This adds a distinct look to their stories and a welcome change is the fact that they are mostly looking within the country for their locations. Of course, exceptions like “Queen” and Zoya Akhtar’s “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” and “Dil Dhadakne Do” are always there. They’re entertaining, nevertheless.
