HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Dosti – Review24th Dec 2005 22.30 IST By Nikhil Kumar Dosti - Friends Forever is yet another melodramatic, over-sentimental and soppy flick by Suneel Darshan . Starring Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol in the leading roles, the movie tells the story of two childhood friends. Kareena Kapoor and Lara Dutta play the love interests of the two heroes. 
Dosti is the tale of two friends Karan (Bobby Deol) and Raj (Akshay Kumar). They are childhood buddies who have gone through the thick and thin of life together. The movie begins with a flashback, telling how Karan and Raj became friends. Raj, a poor orphan, saves Karan, a rich boy, from the face of death. Since then, the two become friends, caring for each other and putting the other’s interest before one’s own. The two grow up together in Karan’s house. Karan grows up to be a philanderer with an open attitude towards one-night-stands, while Raj is a straight guy who commits to one woman. Raj is in love with Anjali (Kareena Kapoor) and wants to marry her. Karan loves Kajal (Lara Dutta). It all looks hunky-dory and it seems that the two friends would marry the women of their choice. But then, the unexpected happens. There is a rift in their friendship and the ones who once seemed inseparable have to part ways. As the story moves forward(?), it gets into the Kal Ho Na Ho mould in which the medical condition of one of the leading characters kindles some drama in the otherwise tepid plot. Dosti abounds with clichés. The young Raj saving Karan from death and the two becoming ‘friends forever’ is a cliché seen countless times before. Even the grown-up Raj, Karan singing and riding their bikes against the backdrop where something romantic is befitting, looks absolutely odd. The simple fact is that Dosti tries to throw in your face again and again the bond of friendship between the two heroes. There is no subtlety and no nuance in the story and everything is open and overblown. Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol give credible performances despite the fact that their characters are poorly etched. Kareena Kapoor and Lara Dutta have little footage. Still, Kareena delivers well in few scenes, while Lara acquits herself by simply looking gorgeous. In short, Dosti fails to stir any emotion despite the tear-jerking situations following one after the other.
