MUMBAI: It is a given that life without the magic of movies is boring. While love stories are usually the highlight in most plots, there are also films that revolve around the magic of friendship.
Some amazing flicks have taught us that one doesn't need to be best friends with the same gender or even the same age or species, but that BFFs can be any two souls on this planet, who have a connection!
Disney’s much awaited live action magnum opus The Lion King is all set to relive our childhoods and mesmerize us, also bringing back the friendship goals of Timon and Pumbaa! Who can forget their life motto: Hakuna Matata!
Be it Timon and Pumbaa, Mowgli and Bagheera, the gang from 'Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara', Winnie the Pooh or the music band of 'Rock On', movies have shown us that friendship can strike anywhere and with anyone! While you watch for The Lion King to release on 19th July, here are some must watch buddy movies to catch up on!
The Lion King: Timon and Pumbaa: They are fun, wild and loud, but can be serious and dependable at the same time. Timon and Pumbaa may seem to be easy going with their motto “Hakuna Matata”, but they know when to get all serious and prove that they are there for each other through thick and thin.
