The first kiss

Dostana (2008)

While I was on my way back from this movie, a friend of mine sitting behind me on the bike was reviewing this movie to her girlfriends over the phone - The movie looked very nice. I think that kind of sums up everything that Im going to mention in my exceptionally boring blog.

The film looks fresh...Priyanka Chopra looks like a dream (back to back good films after Fashion, I thinks she is more lucky than, well, unlucky) She has the curves and the legs of a supermodel, she looks more like one in this movie than Fashion. She wears the skimpiest outfits and makes them look elegant. And so does Shilpa Shetty (hottie!) in an item song.

John Abraham looks like a Greek God and acts decently, esspecially in the first Dolice and Gabbana underwear scene (Cheeks well clenched!) Abhishek Bachchan is ardently charismatic. He has played the gay card with extreme ease which reflects very smoothly on screen. He once again proves his prowess on comedy after a lull of flops.

Boman Irani was the surprize package in the movie. Although he only does a cameo, he plays a fag better than all the fags in Fashion. He is a brilliant actor, need I say more?

There is good situational comedy in the movie and not just stupid jokes like other movies in recent times. Its also upbeat, youthful and oh-so-Miami (Remember Will Smith??) Vulgarity is very well avoided in a sensitive issue like gay relationships, instead friendship is potrayed as more important - that the title, btw!

The songs are rocking, like Jaane kyon, Desi girl and Maa da laadla.

And finally, the kiss - the first gay bollywood kiss - John and Small B...some were nauseated, some were laughing and some were fantasizing...I was out to get some popcorn, so I missed it! But here is what I "make out" of it - Karan Johar is priming his audiences before he finally comes out of the closet.

Rate-3.5/5

Spolier-Priyanka chooses Bobby Deol in the end.
