3. Chennai Express (2013)

This 2013 hit movie of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone proved that international locations are not necessarily the reason for the success of a movie's songs.

Set entirely in Western Ghats and parts of the Nilgiri Mountains, the scene of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika meeting Deepika's Father who stops the train at her village was very well shot in front of the highest Dudhsagar Waterfalls in Goa (India) by Director Rohit Shetty and Dudley, the Cinematographer.

Yet another song "San Sananan" was set at the Apsara Falls in Pachmarhi, a hill station in Madhya Pradesh. The cinematography by Santosh Sivan was well-acclaimed.
