Dostana – Dost-Na-Aana

This is all about friendship: Two men love a woman, a woman who shares the same house with them. All the time being in the intimacy she never realizes that in fact she is the love interest of both the men in her life. Reason for the same is quite bizarre and unique, something which you should only know if you are willing to watch the movie. The only thing that could hold and can standout of the movie is despite all the turmoil and misunderstandings these three friends managed to stick together.

I was aware of the theme before I went watching movie but to be frank I never expected such prudent matter will be used to literally make non-sense, what eccentrics the movie to deviate from it's theme is the way protagonists strive to make a run for their love interest but still not keeping the dignity of the social status attained unwillingly, absolutely horrendous. I would say the script has to be blamed for same, one can't understand whether people around are arose to find love for their self or stay mischievous and do the acts which would keep them miles away getting their love.It gets tangled and failed to show both the fun side and the serious side of matter or anything similar. From the performance point of view, apart from showing off skin I couldn't find anything special by John Abraham and Priyanka. After Fashion I must say that Priyanka has got the trick how to wear right look: her dusky skin, curved shape and silky voice would definitely let you run for breath. When in competition John was no less to her and showed his tan body a lot. Abhishek wasn't really doing anything in the movie and the worst part was played by Kirron Kher mothering Abhishek, she really was a waste in the movie: A role which had no meaning and acceleration in the story and should easily gone through the scissor while editing movie. Don't want to talk anything about the direction since there was nothing special to be mentioned. The act put across by Bobby Deol was little to be appreciated. I should mention though that the cinematography has been a big plus for the movie, really best of Miami has been captured through the lense and some really peppy numbers which comes as relief in between well choreographed by Farah Khan, they are the only life saver amidst all confusion.

I don't mean to attack personally Karan Johar as we live in a liberal society and a democratic country where everyone has their right to express views, but he is again and again going juvenile to portray something which is a very sensitive matter and should need a mature handling. If this was to be made a light hearted comedy movie then there were hundreds of other themes. He surely need some other creative thoughts to be put across on the plate for audience to accept both critically and commercially, I guess this movie might get commercial success but I can't imaging this getting any critical acclaim. At least not from my side, this to me was no good than any B-grade movie: a movie I couldn't recommend anyone for viewing not because this deals with a matured matter but because the matter has been handled with immense immaturity, this has not only degraded the social stature of people belong to the stream but also would embarrass everyone while watching it alongside their pals.
