Platonic friendships in Bollywood movies - Page 3

Chunni is very much a client of Chandramukhi. How is it platonic friendship?

On the other end, friendships are platonic, so not sure what the question is anyway.

Not always. People can be friends with benefits. People can also remain good friends with their exes.

So my question is about platonic friendships, where the two people haven't been in any sort of romantic or sexual relationship.

What about chunni babu and chandramukhi?

I got platonic vibes from them 2 in SLBs devdas. Although I am not naive to believe a courtesan is allowed platonic male friends ...

I mean, he's clearly her client. I think the character of Chunni Babu is very down to earth without a lot of arrogance or airs. He doesn't see Chandramukhi as merely a courtesan who is below him and whose job is to please him. He also sees her as a peer who deserves his admiration and friendship.

It's weird that Chandramukhi falls for Devdas, who treats her with disdain, whereas Chunni treats her with more respect and affection.

Friends with benefits

I thought platonic friends were those who did not necessarily have sexual experiences with each other nor viewed each other with lust.

How do I change the topic name to "endearing friendships" or just "friendships."
