WOAH! That is Dostana in 1 word...
Honestly speaking i dont remember the last time i laughed so hard through almost the entire movie.For someone like me who is not really an Abhishek fan, this was an eye opener - dude the guys actuall quite good.His expressions are a class apart.AB maintains a mindblowing chemistry with not only Priyanka but with John too.John is at his physical zenith anyways.He has done an adorable job and dont get me wrong guys,'he looks hot' ;) Saving the best for last, Priyanka Chopra is brilliant and sizzling!
Well the story is quite simple to start with, Kunal(John) ans Sammer AKA Sam(AB) need a place to rent which has 1 basic requirement-the tennants shudnt be guys.Neha's(Priyanka) paranoid aunt only wants female tennants as they will be living with Neha and wants it to be safe, secure etc.Sam and Kunal hatch a story that they're gay and hence there shud be no problem for Neha.Expecting Neha to be a not so good looking girl, they're mesmerised by her in the first meeting but cannot express their feeling cos they're supposed to be Gay!Hilariously the story goes on where the trio become the best of frnds.In one unfortunate coincidence Sam's mom meets them in Miami and is shocked to see her son being gay. Sam tries to explain but in vain. Sam's mom(Kirron Kher) is gr8 in the entire sequence of her small but nice role and really deserves spl mention.Aso Boman Irani in a guest role is rib-tickling.The story whirlwinds when enters Abhimanyu(Bobby Deol), Neha's new Boss who has the hots for her.Single Dad and filthy rich with a good personality is really all Neha can wish for.
The second half sees Kunal and Sam teaming up to eliminate Abhi from the picture.While Abhi has already started earning Neha's love.
The music by Vishal-Shekhar is AMAZING! The sets in Miami are beautiful, all in all a KJ production is sure to leave u smiling.This love story with a tangy twist is definitely one of the best releases of this year.
What I liked about the movie:
AB's expressions
John's lovable attitude
Pryanka...WOW!
Kirron Kher was gr8
Music is real cool
...the jokes and sequences are...happily gay and rib-cracking at times
What I didn't like about the movie:
I think Bobby Deol was thanda...the charcter of Abhimanyu cud hav used more suave style and class. Bobby cud hav put in a bit more, though no offence to anyone i think there cud hav been better casting for his role altogether....
Would you recommend this movie to your friend: Yes
