Review
------
Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham made an
amazing trio in Dostana. John and Abhishek are buddies but when
they find it difficult to find a house to rent, they make the
world believe that they are gay. Priyanka believes this and
allows the two to stay at her apartment. The trio get along well
and with due course of time John and Abhishek both fall in love
with her and try to win her, but Priyanka is in love with her
boss. Bobby Deol plays the role of her boss. In an attempt to
stop her from going around with Bobby, Abhishek and John come out
with interesting tricks. The movie is definitely worth a watch, I
loved it and so will you! --platform47.com
Dostana is the first Hindi film that, at the core, is a rectangle
[three men loving the same woman], but two of them, guys in this
case, pretend to be a couple.Miami is the setting for DOSTANA.
When Sameer [Abhishek Bachchan] and Kunal [John Abraham] are
turned down for an apartment because the landlady [Sushmita
Mukherjee] doesn't want two strapping young men to corrupt her
young sexy niece Neha [Priyanka Chopra], they hatch a plan where
they pretend to be gay to secure the apartment.Over a period of
time, Sameer, Kunal and Neha become buddies. When Neha's boss
Abhimanyu [Bobby Deol] enters the fray as the third contender for
her affections, it gets even hotter.
Both Abhishek and John are fantabulous! Abhishek pulls out all
the stops and delivers one of the finest performances of his
career. His comic timing is superb! John will make guys and girls
drool over his amazing physique. But, most importantly, people
will sit up and notice how fine an actor John is. Both Abhishek
and John compliment each other so well. In fact, had the
chemistry and camaraderie been missing, the story would've failed
to look convincing. two thumbs up for these two guys! Priyanka
looks stunning and delivers a first-rate performance.To cut a
long story short, DOSTANA is not to be missed --platform47.com
Dostana essentially employs the comedy of errors code, though not
in terms of mistaken personalities but preferences.Dostana would
have ended up as a regular love-triangle if not for the
intelligently-incorporated gay angle. Furthermore it survives
significantly and skillfully throughout the film springing up
smart surprises every now and then.
The actual story initiates in the second half and the screenplay
adopts a multi-dimensional approach with sufficient twists and
turns that steers away any monotony. It starts as a tug-of-war
between Abhishek and John but soon the duo team up to outshine
potential contender Bobby. This ensures cordial chemistry between
the male leads.
The screen chemistry between the Abhishek-Priyanka-John trio is
palpably cozy.Dostana redefines the 'feel-gud' genre and makes up
for some '-genius' entertainment --platform47.com
