'Uunchai' to 'Hostel Daze,' 5 MUST watch films and shows that beautifully encapsulate friendships!

In the soon-to-release Hindi film, 'Uunchai' we see four dashing old men played by legendary actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Danny Denzongpa test the limits of their age for their friendship. Friendship can help conquer mountains, and that’s exactly what these friends are doing, literally. Streaming content is ripe with such relatable stories of friendship that evolve over the ages, yet remain the same at heart. Here’s a list of five such shows that witness the tribulations of growing up, and surviving life and how that is made easy with a group of phenomenal friends by your side.

Streaming on Prime Video, while the series, based on the game of love we all played in our childhood, transports you right back into your high-school days, where friends were your support system through parental pressures, exam anxieties, first-loves and the heartbreak that follows! With a recently released season three, this TVF series features Ritvik Sahore, Tanya Maniktala, Sunakshi Grover and Shivam Kakar in pivotal roles. 

Mature, all grown-up and fighting the world on their own, Four More Shots Please! Is the story of four strong independent women who have stepped into the real world. Facing societal pressures, demanding jobs and tribulations with their love life, the only safe haven is their friendship. The show stars Sayani Gupta, Maanvi Gagroo, VJ Bani, Kirti Kulhari, Neil Bhoopalam, and Prateik Babbar in pivotal roles. Catch the three seasons of the series with your girl gang only on Prime Video.

Another TVF original, Hostel Daze, narrates the story of young adults who form unbreakable bonds through their shared hostel experience and their journeys of stepping into college life. With the first two seasons streaming on Prime Video, the show is set to have a brand new season premiering soon. With Ahsaas Channa, Luv Vispute, Shubham Gaur, Nikhil Vijay, Ayushi Gupta, and Utsav Sarkar as the leading cast, Hostel Daze makes you miss your college friends like never before. 

In this coming-of-age gem by TVF, teenagers live in the moment, in pursuit of marks, crushes and love. This carefree stage of one’s life remains incomplete without a quirky, supportive and completely mad group of friends, just like the ones featuring in the show. With Omkar Kulkarni, Rashmi Agdekar, Chinmay Chandranushush and Visshesh Tiwari in the lead roles, ImMature has two seasons streaming on Prime Video. 

Summers are when Belly reunites with her childhood friends in this coming-of-age series, adapted from a novel of the same name by Jenny Han. While Jeremiah, Conrad, Steven and Belly have spent sixteen summers together since their birth, their mothers forged a friendship that dates even older. A Prime Video original, The Summer I Turned Pretty is a show that highlights how important it is to have friends that stay by your side, through good and through the bad.
