I suppose the title of the post gives away the main content. I've just returned from a screening of Dostana. The film earns a respectable 3 out of 5. It's an enjoyable watch, and would've probably been a better movie had the last 30 mins been different. The first half is incredibly funny, and the second half is good in parts, but senseless at times. Two songs, namely "Desi Girl" and "Jaane Kyun" are quite catchy, while the rest are simply average. In terms of acting, John Abraham and Bobby Deol are no better in terms of their expressions than what we've seen in the past. John looks impressively sculpted, but could make do with a more facial expressions to juggle with. Abhishek Bachchan, surprisingly, acts quite naturally, and gives full credibility to his role. Boman Irani and Kirron Kher play out their cameos superbly. The film is enjoyable due to the witty and slightly risque humour ( featuring mostly in the first half and used only sparingly in the second), and the good chemistry that the lead actors seem to share. The main selling point of this film for most people, inspite of surprise package Abhishek, would be Priyanka.The last time an actress took my breath away in this manner was probably when I watched Jodha Akbar, featuring Aishwarya Rai wearing close to no make-up at all. Priyanka Chopra is simply breathtaking in Dostana. Her acting is fairly good, but her role, to be honest, is less challenging than that of the male leads. The movie made more physical demands of her than thespian ones. Still, there's no escaping the fact that she looks amazing. Captivating eyes, gorgeous hair and a breathtaking face : I don't bother to elaborate on her figure because it's probably the main selling point of the film, judging by the trailers and promos. She takes my breath away in every sequence of the film, especially her gentle smile during the brief crying scene. Simply put, this desi girl has no equal at the moment!
