Dostana was well comedy film. It entertain the audience very much. It is full time pass movie. The acting done by John and Abhishek was mind blowing.

you seem to have forgotten… KHNH also portrayed a gay relationship btwn the SRK and SAK characters, albeit fictiously. in both movies, the male couple are pretending to be gay, either for humor or for benefit. in both films, at times the gags were humorous, and at other times the stereotypes left me cringing.

It is a sad testament to the lack of gay sensitivity in India if educated web users like those above cannot see the downside of the portrayal of gays in this film. I am not against making fun of groups and stereotypes, but that is healthy only in a society where that group is not disadvantaged. I am a Parsi and enjoy the hillarious over-the-top portrayal of Parsi stereotypes in Hindi films. But in a society like India’s where gay rights are in less than a nascent stage, this portrayal will only serve to set back any progress. The two decent things about the gay portrayal, to give the movie its due, were that the mother accepts them, and boman irani’s acting; Abhishek’s silly portrayal was unbecoming and in bad taste.

I think it was a okayyyy… movie. I don`t think it was superbly funny. Its just i think big movies get lots of publicity and lot of hipe is built on it for no reason. Yes there were moments in the movie which i think looked original but otherwise i have seen better indian comedies than this. I think even educated and well placed director, producer who has the potential to present something original are not even trying so how can you expect from newbieesss… I think bollywood is not only copying the ideas, stories from hollywood but nowadays even our dialouge deliveries, moves, behaviour are also copied from hollywood which does not suit bollywood stars. speciallyy abhishek…..Bollywood can be little bit more creative than this…. Seems like almost in every indian movie you don`t need to turn on your mind at all.

The reviewer appears too stiff! the movie, although with a title borrowed from an old Hindi movie in true Bollywood tradition, is refreshingly good and suprisingly not too long. Songs are picturised very well and Priyanka neatly carries the show. Even the wooden John Abraham at times looks the part. Very enjoyable!

The movie was entertaining. They stretched the “gay” jokes a bit too much…but overall felt like it was worth the money to get a few laughs from what is otherwise a hectic, pressure cooker life. We watched this last night in the US and there were kids in the audience laughing away at the histrionics quite oblivious of the underlying “gay” concept.
