5. Ye Jawani Hai Deewani, Jammu & Kashmir

YJHD is certainly among Ranbir's top 5 movies we think. A perfect combination of friendship, love, good songs, and meaningful dialogues, this movie was an emotional ride. The film itself gives the vibe of wanderlust and has some magnificent locations featured. Major of the film was shot in Jammu & Kashmir. The sequence of Naina and Bunny’s first day in Manali was shot near Hadimba Temple. The song Subhan Allah was filmed in the snow-clad Pahalgam, in Jammu, and the trek Kongdori area of Kashmir.

This rom-com holds a special place in our hearts and feels like a tight warm hug. The chemistry between Kat and Ranbir was simply adorable, whereas the songs were like a breath of fresh air. A major part of the film was shot in Ooty, including the scene where Prem imagines himself proposing to Jenny. Ooty Lake looks serene in the background enhancing its beauty. The continuing scene where he waits for Jenny was filmed outside a heritage villa in Ooty called Regency Villa Palace.

7. Wake up Sid, Mumbai

Another must-watch especially for those who adore the city of dreams, Mumbai, Wake Up Sid was a gem. A great plot with relatable characters and scenarios makes this film a 10/10. Marine Drive was featured 2-3 times in the movie, adding more depth and beauty to the shots. 

8. Brahmastra, Varanasi, Manali

No matter what we say about the dialogues and the cheesiness of this film, there's no denying that Brahmastra succeeded in looking like a visual spectacle. The VFX was on point, as well as the story, while the cameos made it feel even better. Kesariya which became a hit even before the film's release was shot in Varanasi. Brahmastra had a 20-day schedule at the historic Ramnagar Fort and Chet Singh Fort. The crew moved to Manali in Himachal Pradesh after completing the Varanasi shoot. The trailer also shows the beauty of one of the most stunning mountains.
