This Friendship Day, celebrate the ones who make life wonderful! From funny memories to inside jokes, from sharing the same vibe to doing fun things together, friends make everyday brighter and better. To cherish the sweet bond of friendship, for this edition of Reels of the Week, My Kolkata has curated a collection of reels centred on friends. So, share it with your buddies and laugh together!
P.S.: There are also some fun reel ideas to try with your gang!
The different kinds of friends on a road trip
If you have been on a road trip with your group of friends, you will be able to relate to this animated reel by @stephyanntomy. The larger the group, the funnier it gets. There's always a snack hoarder, who hoards junk food for the trip and munches all along. Then there is the navigator who confuses the driver with their poor map-reading skills. You never know where you end up with their wrong directions! The other kind of friend is the one who sleeps through the entire journey. The other two kinds can be found in every group. Can you guess? Watch the reel and share it with your friends.
Mommy of the group
All jokes aside, every group has that one friend who is a guardian to all. No matter what the situation is, they are ready to protect and help you. Need advice? They are available. Hungry? They will arrange for food. Got a cut? They carry an entire dispensary in their bag. This reel by @kareemabarry is dedicated to those caring friends, who may be your age, but are more responsible and mature and they are always prepared to tackle any situation. Got one in your friends’ circle? Share it with them now!
Take the compatibility test with your bestie
Besties aren't just friends, they are more like soul mates. They are your sister or brother from another mother. They can read your mind by looking at your face! They hear the unspoken words and play along. Feeling sad? They will know it by the tone of your texts! Need pampering? They know exactly what makes you happy. If you have a best friend, then Friendship Day is the day to take a fun compatibility test. Check this reel out by @_tanishkathebrowngirl and have a little fun with your bestie.
How well do you know your group?
Talking of compatibility, there's another crazy game for adult friends. Save this for your next house party. All you have to do is host a BYOB party and keep an empty pitcher ready. Each one in the group pours a little or a lot of one beverage secretly to make a cocktail. At the end the group tries it out. If the cocktail turns out good — congratulations! You have great compatibility. If not, even better! The more diverse the group is, the crazier it gets. Watch this reel by @thegirlinskyhighheels to understand the rules of the game. Also, do not forget to record the process to know who poured in what.
Reel idea for childhood friends
This is a beautiful reel idea by @raseswariii and her childhood friends. This one is for all the childhood buddies who stuck by you since you were a kid. Dig out your old pictures and a few new ones and arrange them by year. Watch how you and your group made it through the years being by each other's sides. It is a great reel to dedicate to your friends on Friendship Day. Expect a few emotional outbursts too! Of course, only happy emotions!
‘Har ek friend zaruri hota hai’
When a telecommunication company launched their ad with the song Kyunki har ek friend zaruri hota hai, we all resonated with it. No matter how big the group is, each one plays a crucial role to bind it together. Take cue from this reel by @pradhan_chandrani and recreate it with your friends. Let each one of them feel like the main character. Celebrate the presence of each friend in your life! Happy Friendship Day!
