ANALYSIS

This movie is inspired by a Hollywood movie ‘I now pronounce you chuck and larry’. It is not giving any pensive message of homosexuality or abnormality of gays. Though it’s a mainstream film, it managed to pull the sensitivity of same-sex love. Karan Johar understands each actor’s capabilities. Also, he didn’t miss any mainstream popular cinema element & added an item number of Shilpa Shetty.

WHAT’S THERE?

Exciting music by Vishal-Shekhar and equally talented Salim-Sulaiman composed touching as well as funny background score.
Visually pleasing.

WHAT’S NOT THERE?

Traditional Indian triangular rom-com.

VERDICT

Mainstream, big budget, refreshing movie Dostana comes out of conventional Indian popular cinema & shows us a new genre of entertainment. Do not miss this movie, watch with your friends & loved ones.
