Dostana (2008)




In this movie, it has John Abraham, Abhishek Bachan and Priyanka Chopra as the main lead actors and Bobby Deol has a small role in this film, more like guest appearance type. The story follows two friends, Kunal (John) and Sameer/Sam (Abhishek) who in order to secure their apartment, they decide to become a gay couple. The character of Kunal, he has a job of being a photographer and Sameer plays a male nurse. Their roommate is no other than Priyanka Chopra, who plays role of Neha and she lives in Miami with her aunt, after the passing of her parents. Then both Sameer and Kunal fall for her and decide to win over her heart. In the mix of convincing everyone and themselves to be a gay couple, they also try to win her heart. Then Neha decides to introduce her gay friends to her departing gay boss, Murli, played by Boman Irani and falls in love with her new boss, Abhimanyu Singh. In the second half of the movie, Sameer's mother makes an appearance who doesn't approve of their relationship, since she doesn't like the concept of homosexuality and doesn't see it as right.

One interesting fact to know is how this is the first film in India whose main plot is based on a gay or homosexuality relationship but in a comic sense. But one movie in India till this day that took homosexuality seriously is the movie 'Girlfriend' (2004). The first half was funny but little boring as well since in the second half that is where things start to get interesting and there is a twist in the plot but ending is something to look forward to. As well, the music in this song was a hit especially the two big songs titled, 'Desi Girl' (above) and 'Maa Da Laadla'. I really did love the acting of Abhishek and John as a gay couple, they did it in an amazing and entertaining way for the audience to watch. Also, these both suited their roles in their jobs as well, photographer and other as nurse. Kirron Kher plays her role as Sameer's mother amazingly and in entertains the audience with her acting in the song 'Maa Da Laadla'. I would give this movie a 6.5/10, if the first part of the movie was more funny would be better and I think even though there was a twist in the film they should've added more maybe. It's still a must watch movie since it will bring the most laughs in practically most of the film there might be few moments but overall its a comedy type film.
