Dostana : as sweet as candy


Dostana (2008) to be described in one word is a stylish-sweet movie. Dharma Productions proves its excellence once again. They have always given us good family movies. But this is first friendship-comedy kinda movie. From the first frame, till the last, every frame has been interlaced with style. Comedy is abundant in Dostana. That’s actually the highlight of the movie. My god !! I can still remember how I laughed when I saw. The whole movie hall were in splits. That’s the true success of a director. Tarun Mansukhani has to be applauded. Obviously he has to be a good director coming from the Karan Johar stable. John Abraham is indeed the sexiest Indian alive. Man, what muscles !! He has done a pretty good performance. Never expected comedy from him. The most unexpected element of the movie has been Abhishek’s performance. I always hated him, his performance, his looks. But he has made me feel 60% wrong about him. Cos, he heads the film’s entire comedy department. Without caring about his image, he has done some bold comedy. Not all of his stature are ready do that. Maybe this role looks like a tailor made role for him, lol. But not something like Guru or Ravan. Oh cmon !! He was awful. But this homo role is awesome for him. He has enjoyed it and performed, which is what every actor should do to deliver great performances.

The cutest thing about this movie is Priyanka Chopra. After seeing the movie, you would feel like catching her cheeks as you do for a small child. She is so sute. Great hair-do. Great body. Great dress. Cute acting. How could somebody be without loving her? You really start to feel the plight of John and Abhishek at one point of time.

Shrey bawa as Bobby’s son is another cute part of the movie. Choo Chweet !! And the others ,Boman, Kirron and Bobby deol have played their parts well. Again a pat for the director. Songs have not been of great support to the movie’s success. Of course, 3 of them are good – My Desi girl, Kuch Kum and Jaane Kyun.

Its an out & out comedy of 2 people who pose as a gay couple to rent a house and in the process win their girl’s heart, fully picturised in Miami. Not one scene looks out of place. It’s a perfect entertainer. I just didn’t want the movie to end. It’s a such sweet move. Its one of those movies which make you see again and again.

Rating :
3.9/5
