| This romantic melodrama revolves around two characters who seemingly have nothing in common. Karan (Bobby Deol) is a wealthy businessman. He prides himself of having a mansion and a private jet which can take him to places of his choice at short notice. On the contrary, Raj (Akshay Kumar) has no money at all but the sky's the limit as far as drive and determination are concerned. He can only rely on his own two feet to take him anywhere. Even though Karan has a family, he desperately craves for love, which he has never experienced. Meanwhile, Raj has always been surrounded by love from his close ones but craves for the warmth of a family. Despite being different in more ways than one, these two characters share one common ground and one that leads to a special bond of friendship. If Karan gave Raj a home and all the material comforts, Raj gave Karan a shoulder to cry on. If Karan supported Raj in whatever he did, Raj covered up for all of Karan's misdoings. They laughed together, lied together, loved together and fought the odds together all in the name of Dosti (meaning friendship). But it was this very world that never let them forget that theirs was not a relationship of equals. And how long could an unequal relationship be sustained? Soon their friendship takes a sudden turn and is challenged. Is it simply a misunderstanding? Will this mean the end of their friendship? Or will they hold onto each other despite their differences? Dosti is yet another melodrama from director Suneel Dharshan of (recently-released) Barsaat fame. The film stars Suneel's favourite heroes, Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol and heroines Lara Dutta and Kareena Kapoor. The film's music, composed by Nadeem-Sharavan, is already proving to be popular. Predicted to be the biggest box office earner this Christmas, Dosti releases on 22 December in UK cinemas.
