RECITING ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOOBARA...

Travelling is an emotion and not all are that good at expressing it. Similarly the movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is just like another movie with great content, cast and cinematography. But this movie is an emotion for the adventure loving traveler. I’m damn sure that just like me, you all must have also decided to travel to Spain with your Arjun, kabir and Imran to recite all those Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara madness.  But some of you guys might not be knowing HOW exactly you are going to do that and most important thing which is “THE BUDGET” you require. Don’t worry amigos here is your travel guide for Spain in ZNMD style. 

 So we are going to cover all the three cities…oops! I mean all the four cities including Buñol (the La Tomatina festival).

The actual film starts when kabir, Arjun and Imran meet at the airport in Barcelona. Here’s your thing-
