Dostana-all fun

One movie which made news right from the beginning. And thankfully, one movie which kept all promises it made. the trailers said a lot ws gonna come. and it has really come.

The premise being no different from a regular bollywood potboiler, the gay angle is what makes it interesting, right from the beginning.the two men being the show stealers, priyanka chopra has very less space(the clothes we not in abundance too). And rightly so. But i thought they were over doing it at times. Half sure that the knicker John wears in the opening scene(the one after the item song) is the same one bipasha wore in the lift scene(fantasy!!adolescent fantasy!!) in bachna Ae haseeno. man , sexy bodies!! both of them..

more than anything, Dostana should be appreciated for the comedy, thats both genuine and situational. glad that nobody wanted to mimic Welcome,Singh is King(or is it KKing?) or any other silly akshay kumar 'super'hits.I mean there are a lot of gags which make u laugh rather than 'cringe in embarassment', like Rajiv Masand says it.

The director has shown a lot of intelligence by covering up the poor acting skills of John abraham(Garam Masala!!! im trying to forget that i watched the movie) and giving those difficult scenes to abhishek bachan.He really comes out good in those submissive-gay scenes. cant imagine how John would have done those. We saw a glimpse of that in the party at priyanka copra's house, and surprisingly, it wasnt quite bad too. But abhishek really looked like an indian gay and John like a french designer gay.

Enough of gay talk!! What i really like about the movie is that neither of the guys(gays?) get the girl in the end. these three ppl continue to be friends, sipping beer on the beach, even after she finds a different man, in an almost bald Bobby Deol. now how many hindi movies have had that boldness to move away from the regular, safer climax? this is where dostana beats probably every other movie that has come out this year. This is one little gag that lasted for two hours. and will probably last for years to come.

meanwhile, just checkout this poster of the previous dostana.I remember watching the movie in my school days.
