OK – the "Kanta Ben" episode forms the basic premise of Dostana but hey, just like in Kal Ho Na Ho some good interesting tracks were expected as well. Apartment!!! Instead of harping on a unbelievable reason, a better convincing reason should have been thought for pretending gay.
The trio did an amazing job, so lets not go that area.
Bobby Deol was a big downer and his look seemed he was just out of Chamku. In fact the entire track seemed a poor rehash of "6 din - Ladki In" episode of Kal Ho Na Ho.
Kiron Kher was just OK.
Shilpa Shetty in the opening number was an eye-candy.
Sulabha Arya a.k.a Kaanta Ben – very good... very good. Sushmita Mukherjee – very bad... very bad.
Songs are #1 and without doubt Vishal-Shekhar rule the roost.
And yes, the costumes deserve a special mention.
The visuals are stunning – it is visitmiami.com beckoning.
