Dharma Productions’ much talked about and well in
news flick, ‘Dostana’ hits the screens today. Directed by
Tarun Munsukhani, the film features Abhishek Bachchan, John
Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol in the main roles.
This Karan Johar production has everything to make it an
unforgettable movie. It has comedy, style, great
performances and the much required ‘oomph’ factor. The
debutante director surely makes it different and distinctive
from the routine Karan Johar films. When you watch it, you
don’t have the feeling of a KJ movie. And this is certainly
a point to make it |
|
impressive since the moviegoers become bored
watching the same touch and style time and time
again. Tarun cooks up a potage that is much hot,
spicy and extremely sumptuous. The script is laced
with an innovative subject, which is novel to
Bollywood cinema and that is what drags the
audiences to the theaters. The flick that boasts of
gays, tenant troubles and societal pressures takes
an interesting look at a major reality of today
where people are forced to change (at |
|
 |
|
|
least pretend to) their sexual preferences to get
things right for themselves. The movie carries forward the
much loved Kanta Ben legacy from ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ reaching a
whole new epitome of comic excellence. |

The flick is set in Miami where Sameer (Abhishek
Bachchan) and Kunal (John Abraham) are turned down for an
apartment because the landlady (Sushmita Mukherjee) does not
want the two brawny young guys to corrupt her young very
sexy niece Neha (Priyanka Chopra). To get the apartment,
they scheme a plan and pretend to be gay. Neha then aggress
to share the apartment with the two since she takes them to
be gay and not a threat to her. All ends up with a strapping
friendship among the trio of Sameer, Kunal and Neha.
But…Wait…this friendship turns into love as both Sameer and
Kunal fall in love with Neha. While the both struggle to get
the love, a third man, Abhimanyu (Bobby Deol) enters into
the scene. The rivalry develops and intensified leading to
an interesting climax. |

Director Tarun Munsukhani deserves full marks to
bring this innovative subject to Indian screen. The
script written by him as well is novel and holds
values. The cinematography by Ayananka Bose is
crispy. The locales of Miami catch the breath. The
music scored by Vishal-Shekar is soothing.
Abhishek Bachchan is superb. John Abraham is great
to watch. Bobby Deol as Priyanka’s love is
fantastic. |

Priyanka Chopra is one actress who is riding high on
the success ladder day by day. She ceases the breath flow
with her acting in this film. Kirron Kher plays a classy
role. Sushmita Mukherjee looks apt. Boman Irani as a gay
fashion magazine’s editor appeals. The rest of the cast
enacts the characters well too.
A Not to Miss Film…..go and watch it. |
