Review By Kamal K
Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) is a Police Office and befriend with Ravi (Shatrughan Sinha) who is a lawyer and employed by Daaga (Prem Chopra) a white collar criminal. On one hand Vijay arrests criminals and Ravi managed to get them Bail. But their professional differences never come in the way of their personal life and their friendship remains profound.
Ravi and Vijay meet Sheetal (Zeenat Aman) at difference places. Both falls in love with Sheetal who reciprocated to the love of Vijay and love of Ravi remained one sided. Soon Vijay comes to know about love interest of Ravi and decides to sacrifice his love for him. But problem ensues when Daaga make a conspiracy and Ravi becomes the biggest enemy of Ravi.
Zeenat Aman was at the peak of her career at that time and she has completed the glamour quota alongwith some good acting too. Pran, Prem Chopra and Helen have also done exceedingly well.
Dostana also features some well-choreographed action sequences by Veeru Devgan.
Laxmikant Pyarelaal have composed good songs for the movie. The lyrics of Anand Bakshi are quite touching. It's a formula-based Bollywood movie with guaranteed entertainment presented by Raj Khosla. If you want wholesome entertainment for more than two and a half hours, please don't miss it.
