Dostana - Movie Review

There is a serious sequence in the post-interval where Priyanka is pretty unhappy and perturbly worried that 3 of'em, Priyanka, AB and John like the same person (Bobby Deol). It starts off in a very serious manner and you end up laughing out loud for her feelings towards the whole scene! Situations like these are remembered no matter how good/bad the movies are.

That AB and John pretend to be gay is no secret, this movie is quite funny and entertaining with all the mix and match of regular Hindi films stuff like screeming 'Pun'jabi mom with Karva Chauth formula applied to a 'gay' scenario.

Yup, its quite a norm now that brains are to be left behind, if you go by the recently released movies: the biggest flaw being how come two seemingly hot and sexy guys can't get a flat/house for rent in Miami and that they are so desparate that they would do/be anything/anyone to get a place! Honestly, the whole movie is enjoyable with lengthy first half and should-have-been-trimmed second half.

Boman Irani (Priyanka's boss) and Kirron Kher (AB's mom) in guest roles are amazing. Sushmita Mukherjee (Priyanka' aunt) is strictly okay though her 'Marilyn Manroe Act' is tolerable. Bobby Deol is just fine where as Shilpa Shetty is a sex-bomb!

Priyanka is damn beautiful and sexy (in a bikini especially) and yes, she does act quite comfortably. The ಮ್ಯೂಸಿಕ್ (Vishal-Shekhar) really gels well with the movie though i couldn't remember even a single track later. Cinematography is average as me being an aficionado, expect some breath taking Miami locales.

The film indeed belong to the official (they receive resident permit on gay couple terms) gay couple AB and John. Dialogues are fun to hear and both in fix situations are really good to watch.

After Thought: Gotto know from movie that Gabbar Singh was gay! And so were Munna and Circuit! Now how wacky is that!!!
