Dostana – A must watch for entirely different reasons

On the very rare occasions that I don’t have something to read I deign to watch a movie. Last Saturday I decided to watch Dostana – Karan Johar’s latest offering. The movie has been in the news for all the wrong reasons – the scorching hot opening sequence, the gay twist, the unexpected climax, etc.

What’s been lost in the entire dissection is the poignant portrayal of friendship in its multicolored hues. Dostana is not just about gay humor, its about finding friendship in the most unexpected places, its about dealing with love that creeps in and threatens friendship but most of all it proves that platonic relationships do exist between men and women.

Dostana made me realize just how much I miss my old friends, but then real life isn’t always as rosy as tinsel town. Watch it, for the best buddy movie in a long time since ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding.’
