The Age of Commercialism

Pretty Good

Just what I expected

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Suneel Darshan is one director who mostly resorts to old stories to move audiences, After giving a new lease to Akki's career with Jaanwar(1999) he gave him a flop TALAASH(2003) which also was a mix of many old films In 2005 he gave 2 films BARSAAT(copy of SWEET HOME ALABAMA) and DOSTI, both films flopped at the B.O. Dosti friends forever is as oldfashioned as ever, The film has all the clichés we have seen before, like the childhood friendship between rich boy Bobby Deol and a poor boy(done in the most outdated fashion) Bobby's parents have no time for him, they are the typical rich parents seen in films like Bobby(1973). Akshay's character reminds us of characters like Rajesh Khanna in Namak Haraam(1973) who relies on his friend for everything. Anywayz after years, Bobby is a playboy(like in Dillagi) whereas Akki is a sincere guy, Akki loves Kareena(this trio were in Ajnabee together) Bobby slowly and predictabily falls for Lara who gives him a trial period to prove himself. There is a twist at the interval which is well handled but then in the second half suddenly the film goes into the Kal Ho Naa Ho mode There are some good emotional scenes but the film gets too predictable yet Akshay's death scene is well handledDirection is outdated, nothing really to speak about Nadeem Sharavan's music too sounds dated, in fact this was their last film together as a pair.Akshay Kumar plays his role superbly, in that year Akki had got noticed as a comedian with GARAM MASALA which was a hit, followed by DHP which flopped, this was his last release and thankfully he isn't just a comedian, he does the serious part superbly Bobby Deol too is good as his friend, he leaves a huge mark especially in the emotional scenes but his appearance and styling could be better Kareena Kapoor gets less scope but does a good job, this wa her 3rd pairing with Akshay after TALAASH and BEWAFAA. Lara Dutta doesn't really get much scope and is okay Juhi Chawla is superb in her small role, Mahesh Thakur is good Kiran Kumar, Lilette Dubey are typecast, Shakti Kapoor has a cameo Karishma Tanna is okay in a brief role rest are all okay

As you can see the title of this movie is Dosti, so of course its about two best friends who can die for each other. And I really love this wonderful film.Its a beautiful Indian movie and I had never seen anything like this before in ma life and in Bollywood's history. So I strongly recommend you guys to watch it. There are too many emotions and a lots of comedy in this film. After all its staring Bobby Deol & Aksay Kumar. The story is little similar to KHNH but in this movie you can enjoy a lot. Plus, this one is much better than Kal Ho Na Ho. Because it contains friendship, love, comedy, songs and a sentimental touch that will surely make you cry in the end.

This is just another movie with a silly story, some songs & some tears. I don't want to waste my time in writing what's bad about the movie. I'll focus on the good things. Lara Dutta's performance is very good. She has such amazing screen presence. A couple of songs are really good. Kareena Kapoor is good in what she does & her acting skills are good as well. Bobby Deol is jinxed. He got the looks, the skills & the money. Unfortunately, all his movies are box office bombs. This is another multi-starer to hit cinemas. But we're really bored watching stories of friends turning into lovers, lovers turning into friends, friends being enemies, enemies being friends & so on. You can watch this movie if you're really bored. And I mean REALLY BORED!

I went to watch this film in advance, and i have to honestly say that this film was surprisingly good. I have to admit that after interval where the secret is revealed, it was predictable, but which film isn't. This film has it all, laughter, emotion, glamour. But akshay kumar and bobby deol i have to say played their parts really well. As for the two girls, they are just eye-candy for the whole film. I recommend to watch this film. It is also quite a short film compared to other suneel darshan films and other films at the box off this Christmas, the only other thing i have to mention are the songs, which are terrific, some better than others, but overall they are good.
