I couldn’t decide whether I should laugh… or I should cry while watching this movie. Laugh, because I could see that this was a film that was coming dangerously close to Kal Ho Naa Ho. Cry, because I could see that even if was coming close… it was no where close to the brilliant Karan Johar production.
DOSTI treads on the done-to-death plot of best friends. Bobby is the ultra- rich kid. Akshay Kumar is ultra-poor. They meet as kids and become best of friends. Akshay provides the love Bobby doesn’t get from his family. Then they grow up together, fall in love together, five to six songs happen then the cliché family feuds, fights and then we can see another Kal Ho Naa Ho happening. This is DOSTI for you. Interested? I bet not… If yes… I pray not.
First things first… Bobby Deol cannot act for his life. Lara Dutta and Kareena Kapoor look stunning and do their bit to salvage the old-as-the-hills Nadeem Shravan music. Akshay Kumar is a good actor, the only saving grace of Dosti… but… come on… lets face it…he aint no Shahrukh Khan. When SRK does a KHNH, you feel that the character shouldn’t die… When Akshay Kumar does a DOSTI, you feel… man he should die… and soon.
Everything is bad. So no comments on the technical side of the film. Some films are good, some are bad… and some are pathetic. DOSTI successfully forms a fourth category… the overtly pathetic. As the film ended the first thought that came to my mind was… “Man, NEAL ‘N’ NIKKI’ was better.”
My Rating: NOT APPLICABLE
