Top Train Scenes & Songs in Bollywood That reminds us that trains and Bollywood share a special bond and some memorable scenes and songs have been filmed on trains or with trains in the background.

Though there are innumerable movies & scenes that have been shot in/around trains, here we take a look at the top train scenes and songs in Bollywood.

The classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), starring shahrukh Khan & Kajol, had so many beautiful train scenes. Here are some of them.

DDLJ, beginning of a great love story….where Raj and Simran meet for the first time.

From the movie Chennai Express, SRK does mention in one of the scenes to Deepika (where he asks Deepika to hold his hand when she’s trying to board the train) that he’s done something similar earlier (referring to his DDLJ scenes). Like DDLJ, even Chennai Express had several decent train scenes

SRK relives DDLJ with Deepika in Chennai Express

In Chennai Express, funny scene where SRK & Deepika communicate in songs

Another popular scene (action) from the superhit movie ‘Robot’ featuring Rajnikant aka Chitty and Aishwarya Rai. Watch Rajini at his best (exaggerated stunts).

This time its Salman Khan’s turn to bash the goons in a train, saving Ayesha Takia from eve teasers.
