Dostana is a fun film set in Miami and is about two men who pretend to be gay but fall in love with the same girl.
We are introduced to Sam (Abheishek Bachchan) and Kunal (John Abraham), they are both bachelors living in Miami. The two meet when they both go to view the same apartment owned by Neha (Priyanka Chopra) who lives with her aunty. Neha wants a female roommate and so her aunty will not rent the room to the boys. Sam and Kunal decide they will pretend to be gay.
The three become friends and Sam convinces Kunal to apply for a domestic partnership as Sam is not a US citizen. Unfortunately, things go wrong when the approval letter is sent back to London to Sam’s mother and on a dinner night where Neha has invited her gay boss for dinner to hopefully get a promotion, a US immigration officer turns up as well as Sam’s mother. The evening turns into chaos but there is a lot of laughter for the audience.
The following day Neha comes home upset as she was not offered the promotion and instead it was given to Abhimanyu Singh (Bobby Deol) known as Abhi. When she arrives home she is consoled by Sam’s mother and whilst she helps her deal with her situation Neha also helps Sam’s mother come to terms with her son’s sexuality.
Sam and Kunal help Neha with an assignment she is set which impresses Abhi and both Sam and Kunal take her out for dinner separately and confess their love for her, of course Neha thinks they are gay and therefore sees it as a friendly gesture. Neha then starts dating Abhi but Kunal and Sam try to sabotage the relationship and even convince Veer, Abhi’s 5-year-old son that Neha is not good for his father.
Abhi breaks up with Neha at the same time that she finds out that Kunal and Sam have been lying to her. She kicks them out the apartment and refuses to talk to them.
Will Neha and Abhi be able to reconcile? What will happen to Sam and Kunal?
Dostana is a hilarious film which gets away with introducing crazy scenes filled with fun and laughter indulging how India views the gay community where it is ok for men to hold hands and walk down the street but not actually be gay.
