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
