Friendship is a very difficult term to explain when it comes to explanation. Everyone has a different reach towards it. But we do have Bollywod to help us and we can say, “our friendship is like how Jai-Veeru’s used to be in Sholay”. So we need to thank Bollywood for the examples we can put forward! We at Derailed Douchebaggery bring you to the top 10 Bollywood classics that made us cry a tiny bit and we relived some lost moments of friendship. Also, we did try to replicate their signature moments.
Sholay
This has been always a close to heart movie for everyone who loves Bollywood, Amitabh Bachan and well classics. Sholay showcases the epic friendship of Jai-Veeru and even has the best song ever featured, “yeh dosti hum nahi todenge..”! And if you haven’t watched this movie yet, you really should because classics like this shouldn’t be unwatched.

Dil Chahta Hain
This Farhan Akhtar’s directorial debut is a cult favourite. The whole storyline revolves around the fact how three friends with three different personalities and aims in life still unite at the end to be there by each other’s side no matter how distant they became over the years. This friendship trio has been an idle for many around us.

Zindagi na Milegi Dobara
This movie portrays a typical college set of friends. How they separate into their busy and independent lives post college and then one of them decides to settle down and get married, they have their own pact of setting off on their dream trip and then when they reunite, they try to come back to their same wavelengths and resolve issues and do things they would never ever get a chance again to do in their lives. The title can not be more appropriate to give us all a push, friends will be there no matter what and life wouldn’t give us a second chance to relive moments!

Kuch Kuch Hota Hain
This movie just didn't set a friendship mantra for all of us but it did create a Rahul-Anjali vibe in the busy Indian markets with those friendship bands and the whole hippie pants and the high five and low five, nose touching craze. But keeping the love triangle aside, it was a remarkable story of undying friendship.

Yeh Jawani Hain Diwani
Now this one was one hell of a movie! Everyone LOVED it. The star cast wasn’t the only reason for it being a blockbuster. The movie focussed on the clichéd storyline of friends being separated after college but in this they made a trip before college ended and thanks to the beautiful Manali and Udaipur scenes, we all wanted to do the same! Now who needs Spain when you have places like this in your own country? But other than that, how the whole Ranbir-Aditya chemistry was perfect and how Kalki-Deepika was the besties but didn’t overdo it. It’s all about understanding each other rather than expressions.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
This flashback storyline where they try to explain to a newbie in their group about how the Aditi-Jai friendship turned into love and the whole drama and action that came along the way, it was I would say a perfect make.

3 Idiots
If you have read the book, and seen the movie too, well you don’t need to know what i am going to say about this movie. The movie was so much better though but then again, thanks to the epic friendship and deeds and the things you do for your friends, made me cry at all the emo scenes and laugh at the perfect scenes. Question is will you act to be sick to get out of a flight which is about to take off just to meet your best friend?

Rang De Basanti
Reflecting the contemporary idea of friendship, this movie was not just some eye-opener patriotic movie, but also how friends can go to the extent of making friendship last and its virtues a height!

Yaarana
A little old school but well what it showed wasn’t not the truth- Two childhood friends, when one was young and sacrificed everything to make the other educated enough to lead a good life and when the other is successful, he tries to repay it all back by making him a singing sensation. Simple yet true! Another magic created by Big B!

Rock On
Four friends who tried to make the greatest band the country could ever witness but never made. But after years of no contact, they come together to create the incomplete ‘magik’ they left alone. All four are from different walks of life but when they jammed together, they were all just for music and friendship.
