How Bollywood tempts Indians to visit Switzerland...

Vishal and Jagruti Purohit had traveled to Switzerland from Mumbai, India, on their honeymoon, but they had a greater mission: to find the small village church that provided the backdrop for a scene in their favorite movie, a 1995 Bollywood blockbuster called "The Brave Heart Will Take the Bride."

In the scene, two young Indians, played by Mr. Purohit's favorite actor and actress, see their love seeming to come to an end. She kneels and prays, while he cavorts in the dark, neo-Gothic church. In the end, she breaks off an engagement and he wins her hand.

The young couple knew that the scene had been shot on location in a church in the small town of Montbovon, a couple of hours drive from this Alpine village of winding streets, low chalets and abundant geraniums. But which church? More...
