There's no doubt in the fact that Aamir Khan has given some of the most iconic movies of all time to Bollywood and be it 3 Idiots, Lagaan, or Dil Chahta Hai, his movies will always be remembered for their great storytelling. But there's more to them, and one of them is how these movies look and makes us feel and a lot of its credit goes to the locations where they were filmed and so here's a list of some of his blockbusters and the locations where these Aamir Khan movies were shot.

1. Lagaan, Kutch

Lagaan was a cinematic spectacle and is one of those movies that can be watched innumerable times and will still give the same excitement. A major part of this movie featuring the village was shot in the Kutch district of Gujarat, while some scenes were also shot in the Vijay Vilas Palace in Mandavi, and Prag Mahal in Bhuj.

2. Ghajini, Mumbai

Ghajini is a good example of how a remake of a movie should be done and this film was definitely a must-watch. From finding the chemistry between Aamir Khan and Asin adorable to seeing the heart-wrenching scene of Kalpana's death, to Aamir Khan's fabulous action scenes in the climax, this movie will always be remembered for many reasons. Some of its sequences were shot in Mumbai's film city as well as Marine Drive. The scene when Kalpana shares an adorable conversation with Sanjay after he proposes to her was filmed at Marine Drive, while the shot where she hands over her savings to Sanjay for his mother's treatment was shot in the Film City.

3. Fanaa, Delhi

Another blockbuster of Aamir Khan and Kajol, Fanaa, was a beautiful film and had us in tears by the end of it. Most of this movie was shot in Delhi and featured some of the most iconic places like Amar Jawan Memorial, the National Rail Museum, India Gate, Dilli Haat, and Humayun's Tomb in gorgeous ways.

4. Dangal, Punjab and Hariyana

Dangal is definitely among the top 5 movies of Mr. Perfectionist and was an amazing tribute to the Phogat family. The first half of the film, where the training and the childhood of the Phogat sisters are shown, took place in villages like Gujjarwal, Narangwal, Kila Raipur, Dango, and Leel, located in Punjab and Haryana. On the other hand, the wrestling scenes were filmed in various stadiums like Thyagaraj Stadium and Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Delhi and Pune.

5. Dil Chahta Hai, Goa

Dil Chahta Hai will always remain iconic for its amazing songs, fabulous plot, and memorable scenes. This movie is probably one of the reasons why Goa became 'Cool' in the early 2000s, and the credit goes to how it was shown in the movie. Be it the popular scene of the trio (Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Akshay Khanna) sitting at the Chapora Fort, Panjim's colourful streets, or how Sid shares a heartwarming conversation with Deepa at the Vagator Beach, Goa was shown beautifully in this movie, and we are still not over it.

6. 3 Idiots, Ladakh

You cannot not talk about 3 Idiots if Aamir Khan is the topic of the conversation because it's a movie that is iconic on many levels and was so well made. The college campus featured in the film is Bangalore's IIM, while the climax scene takes place in Ladakh's Pangong Lake.
