Friendship Day 2024 is here, and we can’t keep calm as we celebrate this special day with our beloved friends. It’s the perfect time to let them know how much we cherish them and to express our desire to explore the world together.
On this cherished occasion, let’s take a look at some Bollywood movies that have played a significant role in igniting the enthusiasm among the youth to move beyond the regular hangouts and plan exciting trips with friends. While planning trips with friends has been a long-standing idea, these movies have set a trend that everyone wants to follow.
Dil Chahta Hai (2001)
Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ set a benchmark for planning Goa trips. This film’s portrayal of a college trio planning a trip to Goa inspired countless youths to visit the destination with their friends, regardless of financial constraints. Many groups have yet to make their Goa trip a reality, but there’s hardly any gang that hasn’t dreamed of it planning to visit this state.
A standout scene from the movie is the trio’s iconic photo at Chapora Fort, which offers a panoramic view of the sea and now popularly known as the ‘Dil Chahta Hai Point’, has become a must-visit for friend groups wanting to recreate that memorable shot.

‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ (YJHD) has significantly influenced the trend of friends planning trips to scenic destinations like Kullu, Manali and Shimla. The film features Ranbir Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Deepika Padukone and Kalki Koechlin as a fun-loving gang of four, whose journey of love, friendship and growth resonated with many.
The movie’s portrayal of a group adventure in the picturesque North has inspired countless groups to visit and share their trip photos from similar locales on social media. YJHD has become a go-to comfort movie for many, offering fresh enjoyment even after multiple viewings.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)
While ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ encouraged exploring India, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ (ZNMD) sparked the trend of international trips. The film’s title, which translates to “You Only Live Once”, captures the essence of enjoying life with friends.
During a time when many people were hesitant to spend money on travel, preferring instead to save or invest, ZNMD encouraged viewers to explore the world and experience life’s pleasures as you bless to live life only once. The film’s depiction of Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin traveling to Spain and participating in the different nation’s activities including La Tomatina Festival was so captivating that many friend groups longed to have a similar craziest adventure, filled with fun and unforgettable memories.
Truly, may cinema has its other side that one shouldn’t be influenced by but it’s always surprising how these lovely part of cinema plays a major role to influence people and inspire many to create amazing memories with friends and close friends. This enlightening part of cinema is truly amazing to cherish ever for.
Qhile, even if some haven’t yet experienced such travel moments, there’s a strong desire to fulfill these dreams with their close friends someday. For those who have already recreated these moments, the joy and thrill of living them are truly incomparable.
Here’s wishing everyone a very Happy Friendship Day 2024! May your friendships continue to grow and may you create many more unforgettable memories together everyday!
