Dosti

A movie from Suneel Darshan camp - who had earlier disappointed with flicks like Barsaat (no, not the Raj Kapoor / Twinkle Khanna starrer), Ek Rishta, Jaanwar, etc. What would you expect? It was surprising that the movie was not a total disappointment. It had catchy music from Nadeem Shravan, starred 2005's top actor - Akshay Kumar, and was well-directed - what more could you ask?

In fact, this movie was way ahead of Suneel's brother - Dharmesh Darshan's (of Raja Hindustani fame) Bewafaa. Despite the script lacking freshness, there was no disappointment in any department - screenplay, choreography, music, acting, direction.


Story: Like Saajan, this movie speaks about two childhood friends - Raj (Akshay Kumar) and Karan (Bobby Deol). Fate brought them together - they stood all problems together but then comes a point where Raj has to leave! How does Karan react? Karan's hurting family bonds were healed by Raj. Where Karan's father (Kiran Kumar), mother (Lillete Dubey) and sister (Mona Chopra) fail to care for Karan, Raj had been his protector, friend and guardian. But now what? Watch the movie for the answer :)

Kareena Kapoor as Anjali, Lara Dutta as Kajal play love interests of Raj and Karan respectively. Juhi Chawla is however wasted in a miniscule role. Her make-up has been poorly done in many shots.

As told earlier, this movie lacked freshness but what needs to be appreciated is it brought back memories from 80s. An afternoon-time pass recommendation this movie surely deserves.

Rating: 3.0/5.0
