Various Bollywood movies remind us of some of the top sightseeing destinations in India. So, here are five of the most popular Bollywood movies that deserve a special mention this winter:

• 3 Idiots

  “3 idiots” is a classic Bollywood film about three friends who embark on an adventure to find their missing friend.
