The coming-of-age story of Bollywood continues with Dostana...not too willing to dwell on the moral/social aspect of it, let me get straight to the point behind writing ths post...
Dostana is a hilarious mad-caper with plenty of intelligent and subtle moments of humor...(and also its share of puerile banality and needless showcasing of John's anatomy(sorry girls!), which i am just gonna ignore bcoz i want 2 :D)...the story plot is interesting, the screenplay is "convenient", the jokes simply rock, the performances r decent (the dialogues r by-and-large indecent tho ;) ), the drama sucks big-time, the climax is loooooooong-drawn and bobby deol needs to retire...but inspite of all this, i enjoyed the movie a lot, simply bcoz everytim ur abt to cringe, a dollop of clever humor puts a smile on ur face and in a matter of minutes, u forget wat u hated jus some tim ago...brownie pts to the debutant director for tht!
Dostana brings the fun back in movies aftr quite some time...tht its not a masterpiece is a given! but for some not-entirely-mindless entertainment (not to mention, some great eye-candy ;) ), ths is the movie to go for!
P.S. : Strictly not recommended for uptight,sophisticated prudes who turn thr noses away at the mention of the word 'gay'! If u fall in ths category, i hope u hvnt even read till here! U wud do better to find a copy of Champak rathr thn suffer thru ths movie!
