Movie Review - DOSTANA


It is regressive and abounds with gay stereotypes but the makers should still be lauded for at least bringing the subject out of the closet. The first half is laugh out loud funny and was superb time pass but the pace dips substantially in the second half and could have done with some editing.

Abhishek rocks and these are the kind of real ‘chilled out’ characters he should stick to playing - hopefully after Drona he’ll stay away from playing larger than life characters. John is ample eye candy and is funny in a few scenes but by and large both the leads work better as a team. Chemistry between both of them rocks. Kudos!!

Priyanka looks like a million bucks and even though the role is nothing to write about she is disarmingly charming and chips in a fresh restrained performance. Kiron Kher rocks - I dont know why she didn’t appear in the second half. Bobby Deol was strictly average - I suspect someone like Akshay or Hrithik would have been a far better choice.

The music is catchy and the film as a whole is marvelously packaged.
A good popcorn flick - go in without any expectations and you won’t be disappointed. Far better than over-rated comedies Singh is King and Golmaal Returns.
I noticed a few gags lifted from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Few scenes which reckon me as of now -
John & Abhi flashback in Venice.. too good man and the way they put down their books after Priyanka comes out in the swim-costume.. thumbs up man!!

Kiron Kher's entry.. amazing
Abhi & John's blame before desi-girl song.. superb
List goes on..
John & Abhishek Rocks.. no doubt in the climax kiss scene

Parental Guidance:

Violence: None
Nudity & Sexual content: Loads of skin-show. And a lip-lock.
Concept: Homosexuality; People shamelessly lying their way into situations and playing cute to find a way out.
General Look and Feel: Peppy, bright - in the Karan Johar way.

Rating: 4/5 Watch for sure (as there isn't dull moment in the entire movie) - if you can stand such kind of humor.

PS - No clue if this sounds gayish I felt J for John's physique.

Который деять во всех этих случаях, для не скатиться в алкогольное болото?В первом случае - не стремитесь брать для себя вдруг позволительно больше ответственности! Не бойтесь передоверять дела своим подчиненным только для работе, беспричинно и в семье. Это знак совсем не слабости, а умения красоваться не столько исполнителем, сколь руководителем и организатором. И снова: не бойтесь предполагать и разбирать ошибки, ведь не ошибается тот, кто безделица не делает. А если будете обращаться к себе напрасно требовательно и искать извинение своих ошибок в выпивке - то ошибок этих будет чем дальше, тем больше.
