‘Chennai Express’, a film that introduced us to some beautiful places in India

Dudhsagar Falls

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer ‘Chennai Express’ was shot wonderfully and introduced us to some really eye-catching locations of our country. We are sure you all remember the scene where Chennai Express stops and Meenamma’s father comes to take her, and there she introduces Rahul to her father. In the background we see a beautiful waterfall. Well, that is Dudhsagar Falls. It is just 60 km away from Panaji. So, on your next visit to Goa don’t forget to visit Dudhsagar Falls.

Wai

Remember the Vidhamba village where Rahul and Meenamma stay for a few days after the former kidnaps the latter and takes with her? Well, the village’s set was erected near dam in Wai. Wasn’t it beautiful?

Devikulam Lake Munnar

There was a scene when Rahul and Meenamma’s car breaks down and they land up at a place near a dam. They also have a huge fight out there where the most famous dialogue of ‘Chennai Express’ was mouthed by Deepika, ‘Kahaan se kharidi aisi bokwas dictionary’. Well, the scene was shot near Devikulam Lake in Munnar.

Vattamalai Murugan Temple

So, remember when Shah Rukh Khan showed the power of a common man by climbing 300 stairs carrying Deepika in his arms? That temple was surely not in Vidhamba village. The scene was shot at Vattamalai Murugan Temple which is there in Kangayam - Dharapuram Rd.

Munnar Tea plantation

Remember the beautiful tea plantation shown in the track ‘Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumari’. Well, it’s Munnar tea plantations. So, surely plan your next visit to Munnar and shake a leg there, Raj and Meennamma style.
