Dostana Test of Friendship over Love yet again

Review:

The decked up promos, for this post Diwali release from Dharma productions, has been catching many eyes, with highly sought after star cast. The banners showing Priyanka Chopra in a swimsuit, John Abraham with his V-shaped structure and Abhishek Bachchan in his cool style have turned many heads, even before the movie had been released.

Producer Karan Johar, along with father Yash Johar, could hope for the lucky charm of Abhishek and John to jump start the movie yet again, after pairing up successfully in Dhoom, although as rivals. 2008 has not been pretty smooth for Priyanka till now, but having back to back releases with Dostana and Fashion, maybe the cards would turn and break the jinx of AB and Priyanka’s 2008 slumber.

Coming from the makers of blockbuster films like Kal Ho Na Ho and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, the movie was certain to have friendship and love involved, throughout its genre, with the contemporary twist of “Gay” aspect. Based in Miami, the story revolves around Kunal (John Abraham) and Sameer (Abhishek Bachchan) trying to find a place to live in.

Being sent out by the landlady, who does not want her niece Neha (Priyanka Chopra) to be corrupted, by these young men, both the men agree to be ‘gays’. The story takes quite a turn when hot and ravishing Neha is spotted by these boys, who have to compete out her boss (Bobby Deol), to win her over to their side.

The entire journey of fun, friendship, secret love has been carried along pretty well with the great music and playback by the greats like Shankar Mahadevan, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shaan and Vishal Dadlani. However, we must not forget young gunner Shreya Ghosal and young genius Amanat Ali. Overall, the movie promises to be nice event to be part of, where the cast seems to be scorching the already “hot” Miami Beach.
