Special: Dostana

Harish Iyer is glad he saw Dostana not surprising as the film helped Harish open up about his sexuality to his 13-year-old sister.

"I took my sister for the film and at the end of the film I told her that I was gay. For a moment there was complete silence and then she asked me are you gay like Abhishek or John?," said Harish Iyer, Event Manager.

Unlike many others who saw this laugh riot, Dostana left Shobha Joshi feeling emotional. She identified completely with Kirron Kher's character in the film who plays Abhishek Bachchan's mother.

Shobha's gay son has found his partner in the United States. "I was very happy when my son found his life partner. In fact I am very attached to him now. I feel like my family is complete now," said Shobha Joshi, housewife.

With constant feedback of how many people have been touched by the film director Tarun Mansukhani feels overwhelmed.

"It's so overwhelming when you hear so many stories. I'm so happy that I went ahead with this script," said Tarun Mansukhani, Director.

Harish Iyer, Shobha Joshi are not just the two lives that have been touched by the film. As Dostana continues to bring in the crowds, the filmmakers hope it encourages more acceptance and openness with a little laughter along the way.

One walks in with zilch expectations [the promos don't do justice to the product], but when you make an exit from the audi, it's with the feeling that the 2 hours were well spent. Comedies, today, can be segregated into two categories -- Brain-dead entertainers and intelligent comedies. Films like JAANE BHI DO YAARO, BHEJA FRY and SANKAT CITY fall in the latter category. Let's be honest. Not all of us can think whacky or come up with a crazy madcap comedy like SANKAT CITY. It requires a wild and imaginative mind to come up with one and most importantly, execute it with panache. Debutante dire

Seems like a reality show

The only good thing about the entire movie was that I won a copy of Anees Bazmee's Welcome for being a good boy and filling a survey. You can imagine my plight that I have to become happy about winning a CD of another movie which was just as stupid, but not as retarded as Luck. Its only when the movie starts after Sanjay Dutt's awesome intro train scene, I realized that I should have left my brain at the security counter. Why you ask? Thats because your brain would be a highly dangerous object in the course of this largely predictable movie. We've seen enough brainless action thrillers, but nothing I assure you, falls so flat on its face. Though the effort taken to introduce a story line is appreciated, the way it is approached will cause nothing less than pain and anguish of the highest order. And though Shruti Hassan's presence on screen will please you, her accentuated and robotic dialogue delivery will only make you bang your he Publish Post ad on the seat ahead of
