Why Friendship Movies Always Hit the Spot

Let’s be honest, movies on friendship have a way of tugging at your heartstrings while also making you laugh out loud. They remind us of the silly fights, the wild adventures, the emotional breakdowns, and those unforgettable road trips we’ve shared with our besties. And what better occasion than Friendship Day (3/8/2025) to relive all that?

1. Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara (2011)

   A classic road trip film that celebrates self-discovery, letting go, and deepening bonds between friends, this one never gets old. Kabir, Arjun and Imran travel through Spain, facing their fears and rediscovering life in a way that only true friends can encourage. It’s easily one of the best movies to watch with friends if you love travel, emotions, and friendship in equal measure.

2. 3 Idiots (2009)

   Rancho, Farhan and Raju gave us one of Bollywood’s most powerful masterpieces about friendship, education, and the pressure to conform. With unforgettable lines and a rollercoaster of emotions, this one tops every list of friendship movies for good reasons.

3. Cocktail (2012)

   This film takes us through the messy, complicated, but beautiful dynamics of friendship and love between three very different individuals. Veronica, Meera and Gautam navigate through jealousy, heartbreak, and personal growth. It’s one of those cool movies to watch with friends when you want something modern and relatable.

4. Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan (2023)

   A fresh take on digital-age friendships, this film explores how three close friends in Mumbai navigate careers, social media, and their emotional well-being. With its contemporary vibe and real emotions, it’s fast becoming one of the most talked-about movies on friendship.

5. Madgaon Express (2024)

   Filled with chaos, hilarity, and plenty of misadventures, this film brings together three childhood friends heading to Goa for a long-overdue trip. What unfolds is an unforgettable mess that keeps you laughing. This is one of the best films to watch with friends if you enjoy buddy comedies.

6. Sholay (1975)

   No Friendship Day movie list is complete without this legendary classic. Jai and Veeru redefined brotherhood on screen, and their camaraderie is still iconic, decades later. It's a timeless pick among movies to watch with friends, especially if you're in the mood for some retro action and unforgettable dialogues.

7. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

   Adventure, dreams, heartbreak and rediscovering friendships, this one has it all. Watching Bunny, Naina, Aditi, and Avi grow together (and apart) is an emotional ride. This is one of those friendship movies that truly encapsulate the highs and lows of growing up.

8. Dil Chahta Hai (2001)

   This is the one that changed the game for modern friendship films in India. From Goa plans to heartbreaks and reconciliation, it nails the essence of bonding and buddyship. It’s a staple in the list of best movies to watch with friends, especially if you're feeling nostalgic.

9. Chhichhore (2019)

   Set across two timelines, this film is a heartwarming celebration of college days, friendships, failures, and life. It carries an important message while serving up hearty laughs, making it one of the most thoughtful movies on friendship in recent years.

10. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008)

    This college rom-com is all about that sweet transition from friendship to love. Jai and Aditi’s love-hate dynamic is adorably relatable, and the gang's chemistry is endearing. If you are looking for cool movies to watch with friends that’ll have the gang smiling from start to finish, you should definitely consider this one.
