Yaariyan (transl. Friendship) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy drama film directed by Divya Khosla Kumar (in her Hindi directorial debut),[3] and stars Himansh Kohli, Rakul Preet Singh (in her Hindi debut), Nicole Faria (in her film debut) and Evelyn Sharma.[4] The film was produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under the banner of T-Series Super Cassettes Industries.

The response to the promotional material on YouTube led the distributor to release the film two weeks earlier than initially planned.[5] The film was released on 10 January 2014 with a 1200-screen release in India.[6] The film received negative reviews from critics but was a box office success, grossing ₹550 million against its ₹100 million budget. The film was an unofficial remake of the SS Rajamouli's telugu film Sye.
