Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

aidan kane Dostana has a great setting,South Beach, Miami is beautiful,a fine script and a charming cast. The premise of two straight men pretending to be gay to secure an apartment has reminders of the premise of the TV show "Three's Company". Along the way, Sam and Kunal develop feelings for the stunning Neha(no other word for her, she's beautiful)and plot against each other, then band together against a common rival, Neha's boss Ahbi.In the end, everything ends up just as it should be. Predictable, but not in a bad way. What I liked personally about Dostana was the flow of the film. This is my first Bollywood film. I like my movies under two hours.For the most part, this kept me entertained. There were two scenes, back to back, where Neha is taken out on a date by each of the roommates separately, which slowed the film down a bit for me. The charity auction scene that followed more than made up for it. The premise of two straight guys pretending to be gay was also handled well.Kunal and Sam were as physically affectionate towards each other as they were towards Neha. More to the point,often in these "straight pretending to be gay" movies, the straight guys go out of their way to show revulsion at the idea of being gay. Kunal resisted the idea at first, but in no time he embraced it when it came in handy. If you're a new fan to Bollywood movies,looking for a comedy, and a fan of simply beautiful scenery and actors, I suggest Dostana..again, can I stress how good looking the three leads were?

keithla43 This felt sometimes like it was several different movies spliced together, but mostly it was a fun ride. Beautifully shot in Miami, and it's obvious what a ground-breaker it is for Indian film (hey, it JUST became legal to be gay there!)Yes, there are gay stereotypes, but mostly it's gently done. And yes, it has the Bollywood musical numbers at the weirdest times, but some of them ("Shut up and bounce") were so catchy I couldn't get them out of my head.I also couldn't get John Abraham out of my head. Believe me, you won't be able to take your eyes off him the entire time...I say go for it. If you're not up to the musical numbers, you can go past fast forward through them.

krishna sivakumar As a huge fan of Bollywood i am always excepting some thing Great(like Hddcs,K3g and many more) and not rubbish ones(like Maine Prem and many more).I watched this movie mainly because of Priyanka Chopra and Abhi Bachan and Most of all Karan Johar whose KKHH AND K3G are my favorites,then made KHNH which was good,then made KANK was for me a one time watchable.There he makes a come back.Luckily,the movie is very entertaining and absolutely hilarious with a nice storyThe hilarious dialogs,scenes and also the first half were great.I never wathed a movie where i laughed like any thing.It is based on gay.The star of this movie is no doubt John Abhraham(who looks plain)and Abhisek.They play the role of gay wonderfully.They are absolutely hilarious(oh!should i say don't miss that scene where they both kiss).The chemistry is rocking.Priyanka proves she is more than a pretty face.She acts wonderfully.She looks hot in the golden bikini.She is surely better then ones like Katrina Kaif who is just putting on artificial beauty and also fails to act not giving a solo hit(mainly they were hits because of other actors).Kirron Kher is superb and so is Boman Irani.Bobby Deol did an okay job.Shilpa looks fetching in her item number.Songs are good and so are their Picturisations.Locales are great.Photography is great.This is one movie that i would recommend

Ibuk The original Dostana starred Zeenat Aman, Amitabh and Straughan Sinha(remember the song "Bane chahe dushman zamana humara salamat rahe dostana humara). I have been a fan of Karan Johar ever since I saw Kuch Kuch Hota Hai so when I heard Karan Johar is directing it was very excited. I even consider KANK is an under-appreciated adult drama that gets unwanted criticism. There is however a limit to my devotion and Dostana has crossed the line. How does a director go from making a mature drama like KANK to a incohrent,tacky movie like Dostana?. Dostana lacked all the key elements that made previous Karan Johar movies so special. Previous Johar movies had a sense of fun, had great songs and a pretty solid script. The gay angle in Kal Ho Na Ho was the best part of the movie but with Dostana I personally feel that Johar has gone too far.The performances also nothing special. The highlight for me was Priyanka Chopra but not because of her performance but because she looked gorgeous in it. Even the climax is a dud, I didn't know it was the end until the end credits started rolling. What makes it worse is the fact that the original Dostana was produced by Karan's father Yash Johar, in my opinion Karan should have taken more care in ensuring that his movie doesn't tarnish the original's classic reputation. Agreed Karan let a newcomer direct it and he only produced it but Karan is the experienced professional and should have guided him. Now I normally see so good in every movie I watch but with Dostana I can see only negatives,it is disgusting revolting trash and I would advise all people who are expecting it to be a family entertainer to avoid it at all costs.
