There is an unparalleled feeling of freedom when you ride on the open road, with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. This is the essence of Indian road trip films.These films take us on an adventure through the diverse and vast landscapes of India, from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the golden sands of Rajasthan. During the journey, we encounter people from all walks of life and learn about their unique cultures and traditions.
Several popular Indian road trip films explore themes of self-discovery, friendship, and adventure. One of them is Piku (2015), which follows a young woman named Piku (Deepika Padukone), her ageing father Bhashkor (Amitabh Bachchan), and a taxi driver named Rana (Irrfan Khan) on a journey from Delhi to Kolkata.
