unsiahussain This movie looked very different from the start, not one of those typical Yash Raj movies,but it works. Kunal (John Abraham) and Sam (Abhishek Bachan) are living in the same place, and they end up going to live at the same apartment. But the apartment's landlord only takes in women, so they pretend to be gay in order to get into the apartment. But what they don't know is that there is a pretty, sassy, girl living there who grabs their attention , Neha (Priyanka Chopra).Follow their friendship and how they both end up liking her. John is amazing,Abhishek has done some great acting, and Priyanka as well.Though not a family movie, still worth a watch, (or more)10 stars out of 10!!
Ibuk The original Dostana starred Zeenat Aman, Amitabh and Straughan Sinha(remember the song "Bane chahe dushman zamana humara salamat rahe dostana humara). I have been a fan of Karan Johar ever since I saw Kuch Kuch Hota Hai so when I heard Karan Johar is directing it was very excited. I even consider KANK is an under-appreciated adult drama that gets unwanted criticism. There is however a limit to my devotion and Dostana has crossed the line. How does a director go from making a mature drama like KANK to a incohrent,tacky movie like Dostana?. Dostana lacked all the key elements that made previous Karan Johar movies so special. Previous Johar movies had a sense of fun, had great songs and a pretty solid script. The gay angle in Kal Ho Na Ho was the best part of the movie but with Dostana I personally feel that Johar has gone too far.The performances also nothing special. The highlight for me was Priyanka Chopra but not because of her performance but because she looked gorgeous in it. Even the climax is a dud, I didn't know it was the end until the end credits started rolling. What makes it worse is the fact that the original Dostana was produced by Karan's father Yash Johar, in my opinion Karan should have taken more care in ensuring that his movie doesn't tarnish the original's classic reputation. Agreed Karan let a newcomer direct it and he only produced it but Karan is the experienced professional and should have guided him. Now I normally see so good in every movie I watch but with Dostana I can see only negatives,it is disgusting revolting trash and I would advise all people who are expecting it to be a family entertainer to avoid it at all costs.
mr_zain93 nowadays...Hindi films are changing ....there are no more typical Hindi films that has a hero , a heroin , and villain...dostana is a films that wont make you bored for even a moment....you won't look your watch and wait for the film to finish...the duologue's...songs , comedy , emotional moments.. all are outstanding...both abhishek n john were brilliant...priyanka was good for her role, kiron kher n boman irani were superb..n the others were okay...story was nice...cinematography was excellent...and choreography of songs were BUT............there's only one problem...some people will find a number of scenes in this movie a bit vulgar....and kids below 12 most probably won't understand a few jokes in this movie..Overall this is a very funny and entertaining movie...go for it..
Zardoz St.Germain I wonder if those of you that gave this high ratings actually watched the movie. There was no plot development, no character development and the jokes - oh! there were jokes? I must have missed them as did the writers as they clearly missed including them in this massive stinker.The beginning has some measure of promise that is then never fulfilled in the second half. The humour, such that is is, is so over the top and exaggerated that it's no where near approaching funny. John Abraham, "Mr. Hot Bod" is only that - this guy really needs to spend less time in a gym and more getting some decent acting instruction. "Little B" does as much as he can with the minimal material given him - usually if he's given decent material, he's one of the few in Bollywood today that can approach what the rest of the world considers actual acting - with time, I'm sure he will emerge as a truly decent actor.The one redeeming feature of the film is Chopra - not only does she appear breathtakingly beautiful as usual, however she appears to be maturing into a genuine actress. Even with the pathetic material she's been given in this dog of a film, she makes a best effort and really brings her character to life. That the character is lifeless in content is the fault of the director and writers - not her.Finally - who allows any of the Deol's to make movies? Really? They are HORRID actors and Bobby Deol is one of the worst so called actors to grace the screen in any country. SRK is mono-dimensional, but this guy is non-dimensional. Don't waste your money or time on either the theatre or rental or a download - rubbish - pure rubbish!
