Kashmir Tour Package: Famous Bollywood Songs Shot In Kashmir

Kashmir may have had its share of bloodbath. But it is once again drawing tourists in large numbers and has become the heartthrob of many Bollywood directors and choreographers. Its stupendous beauty and photographic landscape definitely make this place the ‘jannat’ it is often referred to. With the availability of easy Kashmir tour package and cheap Kashmir holiday package, tourists and travelers are making a strong beeline for this sought-after Himalayan destination.

And over the years, its beauty has been captured in so many Bollywood capers that we have lost count. Nevertheless, here is a quick sketch of some of the memorable chartbusters which have been filmed here:

Jiye Re (Jab Tak Hai Jaan): If you have watched the recent Shahrukh Khan-starrer ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ then you must have tapped your feet during the peppy song ‘Jiya Re’ in which a scantily clad Anushka Sharma dances away with verve and chutzpah. This song has been shot in the serene valleys of Pahalgam, and some part of it has also been filmed over the Dal Lake. The song is truly an ode to the beauty of Kashmir.

Ishq Wala Love (Student of the Year): The song which was on the lips of every college student in 2012 was filmed in the beauteous locations of Kashmir. With the scenic views and the snowy backdrop, ‘Ish Wala Love’ was just as appealing to the eyes as it was to the ears. This song has been watched and rewatched umpteen numbers of times on YouTube. And indeed, the viewers have all fallen in ‘Ish Wala Love’ with Kashmir.

Bekaraan (7 Khoon Maaf): The film may not have gone down well with the audience, but we can give Vishal Bharadwaj a ‘Maaf’ for taking us to some picturesque locales of Kashmir for the song ‘Bekaraan’. The demand for Kashmir tour package increased to further heights after the release of this stunner of a song, which was shot at Shalimar Bagh and various parts of Gulmarg.

Chupke Se Sun (Mission Kashmir): Hrithik Roshan had just arrived in Bollywood at the time. And riding high on the super success of his debut film ‘Kaho Na Pyar Hai’, the Greek God gyrated his way to Kashmir for his next flick titled ‘Mission Kashmir’. A great part of the movie was shot in the state. And the song that still rings in the ear is ‘Chupke Se Sun’. This song lifted the popularity of the Dal Lake to an astonishing level and brought the focus back to the hypnotic beauty of Kashmir.

Classic numbers of Shammi Kapoor: Shammi Kapoor, the peppy actor of yesteryears, chose Kashmir to dance away like a ‘Junglee’ before the mesmerizing ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’. His numbers ‘Chand Sa Roshan Chehra’ and ‘Mere Yaar Shabba Khair’ were runaway hits. Both of them were shot in Kashmir and instantly accentuated the demand for a Kashmir holiday package. Shammi’s hit number from the film ‘Jaanwar’ which goes as ‘Tumse Accha Kaun Hai’ was also filmed on these Himalayan valleys. Kashmir certainly owes half of its popularity to the hummable melodies and undying romance of the great actor.
