Bollywood loves making movies about friendships. But, agar wo meri sabse achi dost nahi ban sakti to main usse kabhi pyar kar hi nahi sakta. The line has been the motto for Bollywood movies for ages. Or there is a token side character, the best friend, who only exists to make the lead actor look better on screen. Of course, there is also friendship reunion movies (DCH, Veere Di Wedding etc). Bollywood has depleted all the cliched aspects of friendship. But, has barely scratched the surface of this beautiful relationship. So, today, as we celebrate Friendship Day, allow me to talk about a few of my favourite movies that present us an unlikely take on this silly thing called friendship. We have examples led by Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum, Kareena Kapoor in Ek Main Aur Ek Tu, Kajol and Aamir Khan in Ishq, Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta in Happy Ending, Lara Dutta and Vinay Pathak in Chalo Dilli, Yashaswini Dayama and Karanvir Malhotra in What are The Odds.
