DOSTANA

It was a nice movie indeed, as expected from the ratings. But then I liked the movie and was worth a watch. Priyanka looked much more glamorous in the movie than what she had been in “Fashion”. And after her host of flop films, Priyanka sure isn’t going to repeat her mistakes again. Under the Yash Raj banner she seems to have improved great with quality in her acting skills. In fact her new look without too many of accessories made her look beautiful. Surely a great change after all those monotonous looks in here movies. And as for acting she surely has done a good job.
Then there is our own Mr. Aishwarya Rai acting in the movie with the best sequence of the Venice incident which he narrates and seems to enact his very own true self, his gay self. With the horrendous pink car and green belt and yellow shoes with red watch and pink and flowery printed shirts looks awful on the guy, making him look more of a gay than a guy to be precise. But after taking his acting career into account, I must say he did a great job being the gay in the movie and the running sequence was mind-blowing. Mallika would surely fall for him after watching him run like that. The Venice sequence makes me wonder what Abby Baby must have done in his honeymoon. ;-) He should now take up more of homosexual roles since they completely seem to go with his personality and actually would help him make more money in the long run. [No offence meant to anyone who so adores Abhishek]
And then there was light, and for the audience there was our very own John Abraham, the sexy dude with a cute dimple making girls drool over him. The very opening song “Shut up and Bounce” would make anyone gasp for breath. With yellow boxer shorts, the color surely could have been better, John looks mouth watering delicious and yummy. And the very next scene we get to see what perhaps only Bips had seen. ;-) And even that was …. John looks awesome in the movie. His jackets, showing off his abs and waxed chest and those quarter pants made him look more hot than cool actually in the movie. His expressions when Abby Baby says to Priyanka that they are gays…he looks so very cute. John has done a great job for sure and in the Venice act he surely is the guy in the relation and Abby the apt “baby” and not the “baba” in the movie. Way to go John, I surely am looking forward for more of such cute roles from your side and such good acting as well.
Bobby Deol makes the most decent of entries in the movie and looks elegant and a complete gentleman. His Armani’s looks way too good on him and the waxing scene is hilarious. Poor guy had to go through so much of torture. I wonder why he isn’t offered better roles instead of such short roles and stupid films as “Chamku” and others. He looks quite good in the movie with his hair chopped off.
Kiron Kher and Boman Irani aren’t seen much in the movie though there could have been more of each one of them. Kiron looks too sweet as a typical Punjabi mom worried about her son and his marriage. As for Boman, he looks cute as the gay boss in the fashion magazine. But the whole set up of the fashion magazine where Priyanka is suddenly asked by her new boss, Bobby to come up with a new look for the already top magazine reminds me of the movie “13 going on 30” where the protagonist played by Jennifer Garner has to face a same kind of situation and miraculously she too is successful in getting out of the whole situation quite easily. And the proposal scene is also inspired by a Hollywood movie whose name I have forgotten.
The music is quite good and one can buy the cds and enjoy the songs. “Maa ka Ladla” is a hilarious song and “Jaane Kyun” makes you and your friends really feel special. But the best song in the movie along with dance is “Biddi jalaile”. Wondering how that came in the movie? Guess what, to know more you surely have to go to the theatre and just find for yourself. Till then this “Desi Girl” signing off to watch more movies and to come up with some more reviews, if and when I feel like. ;-)
