Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge (transl.Will you be friends with me?) is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Nupur Asthana in her feature debut and produced by Ashish Patil under Y-Films, a subsidiary of Yash Raj Films. The film stars newcomers Saqib Saleem, Saba Azad, Tara D'Souza and Nishant Dahiya, and features a screenplay by Rajesh Narasimhan from a story by Pooja Desai and Patil, with dialogues and lyrics by Anvita Dutt Guptan. Loosely inspired by the themes of online identity and digital romance, the narrative follows two college students who, under fake profiles on Facebook, fall in love with each other without realizing they are adversaries in real life.

The film marked the second production of Y-Films and served as the acting debut for all four leads. Principal photography took place in Mumbai and Pune, and the music was composed by Raghu Dixit.

Released theatrically on 14 October 2011, Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised its fresh take on Internet-era relationships, the debutant performances, and Asthana’s direction. The film performed modestly at the box office, grossing ₹4.87 crore (approximately US$650,000) in India, but gained a cult following among younger audiences.

At the 2012 Screen Awards, the film received two nominations: Best Male Debut (Saleem) and Best Female Debut (Azad).
