Kollywood has been known for its tremendous romance, action and hot dance numbers. But at the same time, we can’t deny that Tamil friendship movies are always on point. For ages, the unique friendship plots with humour and heart-touching dialogue have filled the theatre with laughter and tears. To give you the same experience, here is a list of some best Tamil movies based on friendship to experience the true bliss of vibe and bond.
8 Best Tamil Friendship Movies
Nanban
The movie’s title literally translates to “friend,” and it is the Tamil remake of 3 idiots. Starring Vijay, Jeeva and Srikanth in the lead, Nanban is a family entertainer with jokes and heavy friendship themes. The romance essence was always wonderfully added, along with top-notch songs scored by Harris Jayaraj. Check out this movie on Disney+ Hotstar.
Thozha
Thozha gives a beautiful and fresh perspective on friendship. A man in wheelchair bonds with his assistant, who takes care of him, feeds him and fulfils his aspirations. This movie’s plot might seem similar to Me Before You, but it’s about friendship and has a happy ending. You can watch this movie on Amazon Prime Video.
Priyamaana Thozhi
There’s always a taboo attached to boys and girls being friends, but this movie broke it all in 2003 with a star-studded cast like Madhavan, Jyothika and Sridevi Jayakumar. The friendship between the girl and boy after marriage gets tormented by the people around them. But they work it out so well, leaving the neighbourhood regret for gossiping. Catch this flick on Airtel Xstream.
Friends
The movie Friends stars Vijay again, along with Suriya and Ramesh Khanna. The trio and comedian Vadivel’s hilarious dialogues, to date, is trending as memes. You’ve got to watch this wholesome movie as there is so much to learn from it. Stream it on Airtel Xstream.

Endrendrum Punnagai
The story shows the life of Gowtham, who hates women because his mother abandons him as a child. But when his best friends get married, all three find the true meaning of love and friendship. A fun-packed movie that you can watch on Zee5.
Kuselan
Starring Superstar Rajinikanth, the movie follows the actor’s growth as an actor in the movie industry and his search for his childhood best friend (The plot is fictitious). When the childhood friend gets nasty remarks for claiming the actor’s friendship, the climax shows that all the while, he wasn’t lying. Check the movie out on Netflix.
Chennai 28
The movie follows a group of friends and their passion for cricket. Do not expect it to be a movie about national-level cricketers, it’s just 6 boys who love to defeat the so-called neighbourhood cricketers. The movie is chaotic, which is why it is still the Tamil industry’s favourite. It also has a part two to it, but the first one will always remain iconic. You can watch it on Disney+ Hotstar.
Goa
Winding up the list with my personal favourite, Goa. Three friends (I don’t get why it’s always three friends in every friendship-themed movie) elope overnight from their village because they hate the norms and traditions. When they leave for Goa, their lives change, but they also make them get involved in big trouble. You can watch this movie on Sun NXT.
