Dostana - Review

Cast: Abhishek Bachan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra, Bobby Deol, Shilpa Shetty
Director: Tarun Mansukhani
Rating: *

A Karan Johar's movie will have all the hype, glitz and glamour and Dostana is no exception. Like all KJ movies, this movie also dissappoints big time with its story, screenplay and melodrama.
Karan's assistant Tarun directs this movie and he has a lot to learn.

Two womanizers Sameer (Abhishek) and Kunal (John Abraham) are being desperate to get a house which is owned by Neha (Priyanka Chopra) in Miami, US. Since Priyanka's aunt prefers only ladies to occupy the house they pretend to be a gay couple to be a tenant there. Why cant they find another good house and bother about pretending to be Gay will remain a mystery.

Every other person in this movie is a gay. Priyanka's ex-boss who is making a transition, the Visa officer who interviews John and Abhishek. The movie makes fun of the gay community throughout the movie. Some scenes are hilarious though especially when Bomman Irani Priyanka's boss who tries to flirt with John and Abhishek. Even scenes involving Kirron Kher who plays Abhishek's mom is hilarious. She is shocked to know her son is gay but later accepts John Abraham as her daughter-in-law and does the traditional customs. John and Abhishek secretly admire Priyanka and want to win her love. Pretending to be gay dosent help their cause !!!

Enter Bobby Deol (Abhimanyu) as Priyanka's new boss the story takes a typical karan johar turn. He is a widower with a child who is fancying Priyanka too.

After all the chaos and masala thrown in the movie ends with all parties happy. John Abraham has exposed the maximum in the movie and walks on his undies most of the time. Priyanka not to be outdone does her fair bit of exposure, her skirts are always above her thighs. If you are fans of John (for the girls) and Priyanka (for the lads) and enjoy crass comedy you can watch this crap. Otherwise stay out of the theaters.
