This Friendship Day, let’s take a nostalgic ride through iconic on-screen friendships and the Friendship Day songs that made them eternal.
There are some friendships that don’t just live on-screen—they live forever in our hearts, tied together by music that never fades. Over the years, cinema has gifted us more than just stories; it has immortalised yaari (friendship) through characters that laugh, cry, fight, and grow together. What makes these bonds unforgettable? Often, it’s the songs—those lyrical threads that capture the joy, pain, and soul of true friendship.
1. Jai & Veeru – Sholay (1975)
Song: Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge
No friendship blog is complete without this anthem. Jai and Veeru’s legendary bond, their loyalty, and fearlessness have made this the ultimate friendship song for generations.
2. Rancho, Farhan & Raju – 3 Idiots (2009)
Song: Jaane Nahin Denge Tujhe
This emotional track captured the pain of watching a friend in crisis and the depth of unconditional support.
3. Kabir, Aditi, Avi & Naina – Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)
Song: Kabira (Encore)
A song about growing up, letting go, and finding your way back to the people who knew you best.

Song: Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana
A classic tease-fest between best friends that shows how deeply they care under all that banter.

7. Ishaan & Ram Shankar Nikumbh – Taare Zameen Par (2007)

While Maa touches the emotional side, Kholo Kholo highlights the healing friendship between a teacher and his misunderstood student.
8. Tanu & Payal – Tanu Weds Manu (2011)

Song: Main Kya Karoon
A whimsical song for a unique friendship built on innocence, acceptance, and unconditional love.
10. Harry, Ron & Hermione – Harry Potter Series

Not a Bollywood song, but the background music is unforgettable. It’s the sound of growing up with your best friends, facing fears, and finding home in people—not places.
