Dostana- Movie review

The concept of gays is catching momentum these days. Karan Johar has included a trailer in his movie Kal Ho Na Ho in the name of Kantabai and Dharma Production has carried forward with John and Abhishek with Dostana. This unique relationship is flourishing day by day and filmmakers find it an interesting story to tell to the audience by including some spice. Dostana has neither looked upon gays in bad eyes nor cracked jokes over the relationship which is unacceptable in our society rather made the issue entertaining. The story of gay is told in a decent manner which will entertain the audience to the fullest and there is not any single moment that looks upon them as deserted. Abhishek and John bonded well in Dhoom 2 and they carried forward their fabulous chemistry with Dostana also. The story is told in a very catchy way and no sooner the movie unveils, you will not resist yourself from being lost in the laughter world.Dostana is an out and out an entertaining flick, a perfect dose for the multiplex audiences. Style quotient is high, the exotic locales of Miami beach is a feast for your eyes, songs are ear-soothing, Shilpa Shetty’s beach number is fabulous, Priyanka too hot to handle, comic timing is perfect and many more positive points comes with it. The twist and turn in Dostana has some freshness. Debutante director Tarun Mansukhani has shown his prowess in his first attempt, its opens his door for directing some good script. It tells the story Sameer [Abhishek Bachchan] who is a male nurse by profession and Kunal [John Abraham] a photographer. They struggle to get an apartment to reside. For accommodation, the duo has to pretend that they are gays as the landlady (Sushmita Mukherjee) is over possessive about her sexy niece Neha [Priyanka Chopra] and reluctant to give space to two young guys. Sameer and Kunal have to do all those activities which gays usually do in order to keep alive their false relationship in the mind of the landlady. As time passes, Sameer, Kunal and Neha became close friend. But Sameer and Kunal gradually develop a feeling for her. The story takes a U-turn when Neha's boss Abhimanyu [Bobby Deol] takes an entry. Like the gays, he too falls for Neha. The hilarious comments, comic timings, Abhi-John’s chemistry worked in favor of Dostana.Speaking about the performances, Dostana cannot be called a one or two man show. Every character played their part very finely and flawlessly. No words to express the camaraderie between Abhi and John, they are just mind-blowing. Abhishek has shown that he is not only good as an intense actor; he is terrific in comedy also. John has grown as a full fledged actor. Glamour, acting, style all came with Priyanka. She is perfectly fine. Sushmita Mukherjee’s comic acting is incomparable. Kirron Kher is excellent.On the whole, Dostana will rock at the box-office. It will do a good business at the domestic as well as in the overseas market. The film has a tremendous youth appeal and while watching, they will definitely say, I am loving it’.

Priyanka Chopra features in November issue of Blender

When the 'King Khan of Bollywood' calls someone as 'The Sexiest Indian Actress', then she better be someone who is out of this world. The lady in question is not just 'merely' out of this world, but she is a Miss World herself. Well, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for the one and only Priyanka Chopra, who has beaten, not just the 'blacks', but also the 'blues', to be the 'Numero Uno' artist in the newly launched supercool music magazine 'Blender'.

All this while we had known Priyanka as the actress and the heart-warming eye-candy. But the super-enthusiastic guys at 'Blender' have portrayed her as a performer and this 'portrayal' has put Priyanka Chopra in the top spot, thus surpassing greats like Metallica, Kareena Kapoor, Mariah Carey and Amy Winehouse (it's a global compilation, you see).

Sometimes, we wonder if Lady Luck herself must be jealous of Priyanka's Luck! With the recent back-to-back smash hits like Fashion and Dostana, can life get any better for this babe? Way to go, Priyanka!! Source

Hot ! Priyanka Chopra's Fitness Mantra

Think Priyanka Chopra, think Hot Bod. But here is a self-confessed gym-hater! Find out what keeps Piggychops ticking, and in style.

Priyanka Chopra's Fitness Mantra : Working out is always dull; I don't like working out, I hate it but I was training for Dostana along with Fashion.

I had put on a little bit of weight for Fashion, so I had to lose that plus I had to tone in. It was tough and I won't deny it. I was training every day, I would go to gym for two hours and I hate it.

Priyanka Chopra's Style Statement : I like solid colours, I don't like wearing too much jewellery, so I am very subtle in my taste that way.

I try to experiment once in a while may be with a little bit of bling and then I come back to the safety zone.

I like simple cuts and solid colours and that is what my character in Dostana is. She is just wearing stylish great clothes but does not over accessorise at all.

Priyanka Chopra's favourite role : This is one character I have played which is closest to me. If anybody asks me in my entire career which is the one character that is most you, I would say Neha in Dostana.

In every film, I detach from myself because every character requires me to become something else but with Neha I was just myself and that is what it was. I have the American accent. I had the clothes that I wear, the attitude, the body language was all me! Source.

Richard Branson feels Priyanka is Goddess

When Priyanka Chopra walked the red carpet for a gala opening of a Billion Dollar state of the art Hotel in Dubai, she was least aware of the fact that she would receive one most fabulous compliment from a Hollywood personality, Richard Branson.

"You’re the only woman worthy of being called a Goddess. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world,” said businessman Richard Branson pointing to Priyanka. She commented to this remark in the following words, “Yes, the incident with Branson really happened. He was just being sweet and chivalrous. I didn’t know how to react. I gathered my wits and said a calm ‘Thank you’. 

Priyanka’s beauty has not only made Branson fall weak at her knees but other Hollywood biggies like Gerard Butler and Robert De Niro also admired her. Piggy Chops reacted to  Robert De Niro as, “He is De Niro, man! He just kept smiling. His wife spoke more than him. He said he was very happy to meet what he called young talent from Bollywood”. 

From the above comment, we came to know that Priyanka is equally important in Hollywood as she is in Bollywood. Source.
