Dostana (2008)
Dostana is a romantic comedy about two males, Sam and Kunal, who pretend to be gay in order to share an apartment with a lady named Neha. Everything seemed to be going well until they both fall in love with her. ‘Dostana,’ directed by Tarun Mansukhani, chronicles their opulent lifestyle in Miami, as well as the hilarious performances of John Abraham as Kunal and Abhishek Bachchan as Sam, who appear to have brought their A-game to depict the homosexual pair. While the plot of the picture tends to stalemate with the passage of time, the side-splitting trio keeps the audience’s sanity with hilarity.
Dosti (1964)
‘Dosti,’ the first film on this list, tells the story of a deep bond between a lonely studious blind child and a crippled street musician. The film portrays Sudhir Kumar Sawant and Sushil Kumar Somaya – whose real identities are unknown – as portraits of director Satyen Bose’s artistic notions for “dosit” or “friendship.” The film’s sympathetic composition of love, friendship, and solidarity struck a chord with spectators and critics alike, with exquisite music created by Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
Hera Pheri (2000)
‘Heri Pheri,’ a film beloved by millions, tells the story of three unemployed guys who receive a call from a kidnapper and discover the solution to all of their financial worries. However, with misplaced identities and internal conflict, things do not go as planned. The film, directed by Priyadarshan, immortalized the trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, who play the three men who produce rib-tickling humour, respectively. ‘Heri Pheri’ was firmly built on the shoulders of the debt-ridden alcoholic Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, the naive Shyam, and the deceitful yet charming Raju in a film with famous phrases and situations. ‘Hera Pheri’ is definitely a film for friends, with three men bickering over the minor concerns and uniting over assisting a young girl.

The film follows their close friendship and innocence as it is marred by religious politics and communal animosity in the aftermath of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake and the Godhra train burning. Abhishek Kapoor, who directed the film, “takes Kai Po Che! as an apt metaphor and constructs a charming, heartfelt picture on abiding friendship and the qualities that make life worth living,” according to Shubhra Gupta of Indian Express. ‘Kai Po Che’ is a resounding tale of friendship and continuous companionship, with a sound background score by Hitesh Sonik and Amit Trivedi and visual cinematography by Anay Goswamy portraying the Gujrat countryside.

The film, directed by Nikhil Advani, made an entire generation cry and tear up. The three’s friendship, as well as Aman and Rohit’s strange yet delightful bromance, is a source of hilarious laughter. “Har pal yahan jeebhar jiyo, Jo hai sama kal ho naa ho,” Javed Akhtar’s mellifluous lyrics are embodied in the film with tranquil beauty and compassion – “Har pal yahan jeebhar jiyo, Jo hai sama kal ho naa ho.”
