Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U (a SOUR film) Review.

Eventually, it's the modern look and unconventional drama of the film that prevails, specially since the film doesn't actually promote a better understanding of homosexuality at all. However, Priyanka too manages to hold her own between the buddy and the beefcake, with her sassy desi girl act, while Bobby suitably blends in. Just for laughs, with a loose second half, Dostana boasts of some fine chemistry between the two lead players: Abhishek and John. With three guys angling for one hottie, the competition sure gets desperate and dirty, requiring one more outrageous act to resolve the climax. More emotions, when a third player enters: silent, chivalrous Bobby Deol who grows from despised boss to benevolent beau for piquant Priyanka. The subterfuge begins to crack when the two fall in love with their gorgeous landlady (Priyanka's never looked better!) and the film slips onto an emotional track as each tries to woo her his own way.

Yes, Dostana works, only as a no-holds-barred comedy that cracks most of its laughs in the first half when homeless Abhishek and John pretend to be gay in order to live as tenants in fashionista Priyanka's upmarket pad in Miami. Add to this, a funny cameo by Boman Irani as a seriously gay fashion editor who can't control his libido when he spots John, and be ready for mayhem to explode. Recounting his fictitious love story, goofy-eyed Abhishek creates a bizarre Venetian soiree with brawny John Abraham, even as his traditional Punjabi mom, Kiron Kher reluctantly begins to accept John as her son-in-law, no daughter-in-law, no.whatever! Absolutely rollicking stuff. Rarely will you get to see two popular desi heroes indulge in such gay banter, even though it's make-believe. So why and how does Dostana work? Simply because it introduces the most outrageous scenes in popular Hindi cinema and manages to get away with it because it's all done with an infectious zest and effervescence that keeps the ribs tickling. And no, unlike Fashion, it doesn't even have any primary gay characters who play a pivotal role in the drama.

On the contrary, the film doesn't plead the cause of alternate sexuality at all instead it unspools as a relentless spoof on gays and the way society looks at them. Dostana works, not because it is a film about gay rights, like Philadelphia, Brokeback Mountain or The Birdcage.
