Friends is a 2002 Indian Telugu-language film directed by Bandi Ramesh and starring Sivaji, Ali, Sri Harsha, Navin, Amritha and Nivi.
The music was composed by Shashi Preetam. The lyrics were written by Bhuvana Chandra, Kulasekhar, Venigalla Rambabu, and Vijayaditya.
A critic from The Hindu wrote that "It is more a time pass drama, but for those last few reels. The dialogue and scenic structure are meant more for entertainment".[1] A critic from Idlebrain.com rated the film 2 out of 5 and wrote that "The story of the film is good. Bandi Ramesh, the director, did the justice in portraying friendship in a very believable way. But the director failed to maintain the grip on the film throughout".[2] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Do yourself a favor and take the virtues of friendship for granted. Don't let anyone tell you about them!"[3]
