Some movies really inspire you to simply pack your bags, get behind the wheels and take off to explore the beautiful landscapes and picturesque hill stations and mesmerising beaches. 

However, not all movies can capture the ebbs and flows of travelling.

While Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara or Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani still remain among the most popular travel movies in Bollywood, there are some really underrated films that have managed to create the wanderlust magic but didn’t get the due credit.

Here are five highly underrated road trip movies that should be talked about more often because they are just too good:

Light, funny and heartwarming, Karwaan is a story of strangers coming together, becoming friends on a road trip from Bangalore to Kochi and all of which happens because of a misunderstanding. 

It will leave you laughing hysterically (thank Irrfan Khan’s impeccable comic timing for it) while touching your heart towards the end.  

Piku is a movie that offers a lot. A father-daughter relationship, a cute unsaid love story and amidst all of this, it inspires you to pack your bags and go on a road trip from Delhi to Kolkata. 

It also taps on petty arguments, annoying petrol pump stops and eating breaks that happen every time we take a road trip with our family.  

GenZ doesn’t really know what real road comedy looks like because most of them haven’t watched this brilliantly funny road trip movie of yesteryear. 

It stars the biggest actors of that time embarking on a journey on a bus. 

Rest, ask your mom or dad and they will tell you why this is on our list. Chances are they would make you sit with them and watch together.  

This movie explores Goa like no one could have (mainly because our Goa plans never work out). 

It takes us to the hidden gems, secluded beaches and scenic places that apparently got popular after the film was released. The offbeat storyline is surely a plus. 

Probably the makers of this movie didn’t put too much thought into naming the film but it’s because they put all their efforts into making this a travel masterpiece. 

Winner of several international film awards, this movie starring Abhay Doel is equally thought-provoking and feel-good. 

Did I mention it stars Abhay Deo? That should be enough!
