National Best Friends Day 2025: 7 Best Hindi movies to watch with your best friend
1. ‘3 Idiots’ (Prime Video)
Your Best Friends Day movie marathon is incomplete without Aamir Khan’s blockbuster hit from 2009, 3 Idiots.

This one will transport you back to your college days.
2. ‘Veere Di Wedding’ (Netflix)

4. ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ (Netflix)
This movie is bound to make the long overdue international trip in your whatsapp group chats a reality! ZNMD, one of Zoya Akhthar’s memorable flicks, stayed with us long after the ending credits ended.
The movie follows three friends who reunite for a bachelor’s trip across Europe. They face their worst fears, feelings of resentment and a lot more on that trip.
5. ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ (Netflix)
We can safely assume that Dil Chahta Hai walked so ZNMD could run. The 2001 movie starred Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Akshaye Khanna as three close friends — Akash, Sameer and Siddharth — who drift away after college as life comes before their friendship.
Akash flies off to Australia and reunites with a girl he had wronged, Sameer gets busy wooing a girl who is unavailable and Siddharth devotes himself to art as well as falls for an older woman Tara.
6. ‘Chhichhore’ (JioHotstar)
Sushant Singh Rajput left us with this gem of a movie that struck the right cord in all our hearts. Chhichhore addressed sensitive societal issues like student suicide with an emotional and humourous plotline.
It follows a father and mother who face their worst fear when their child commits suicide after failing in a competitive exam. They take their kid through an inspiring memory down the lane to help him get some perspective about what truly matters in life.
7. ‘Queen’ (JioHotstar)
Although Kangana Ranaut’s Queen addressed themes like heartbreak and empowerment, it also left us with invaluable little moments of friendship when Rani befriends Vijay Laxmi.
She not only fixed Rani’s crown but also helped see her potential to be fearless and independent. Their friendship made us realize the importance of friends who always bring out the best in you regardless of where you are in life.
