These two characters first met when Raj saves Karan's life in an accident. After that, they became close friends.

As they grow older, Raj falls in love with Anjali (Kareena Kapoor) while Karan's heart flutters for Kajal (Lara Dutta).

But just at that point in time, an incident happens which drives them apart. This is where Dosti (meaning friendship) brings back memories of Karan Johar's Kal Ho Naa Ho.

The first half is full of fun as all four friends become more familiar with each other, while the second half is full of melodrama.

Some scenes are so well-executed by director Suneel Darshan that it will take you by surprise giving you a feeling of, "Oh! I never expected this to happen" .

But having said this, some of the film's scenes do go over the top. For example, Bobby Deol's loud outburst when he talks to God. Fortunately such scenes are few and far between giving the film a much needed lift.

Nadeem-Shravan's musical score is also one of the highlights of the film, with songs like Dulhaniya and Aisa Koi Zindagi Mein Aaye being the best of the lot.

Akshay Kumar is the star of Dosti. Unlike his acting in Garam Masala, this time round he plays a more subdued character. His performance is equally matched by Bobby Deol who was last seen in Barsaat.

Both Kareena and Lara look glamorous throughout despite the fact that the script gives them few chances to showcase their talents.

On the whole, Dosti is a wholesome entertainer appealing to all ages. With an excellent musical score, great emotional sequences and melodrama, Dosti has already made its mark in the UK top ten by reaching number 5.
