Kareena Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Akshay Kumar, and Lara Dutta in Dosti: Friends Forever (2005)
Karan (Bobby Deol) was wealthy and a mansion was his habitat. Raj (Akshay Kumar) had empty pockets and the sky was his roof. Karan's jet ensured that he could fly if he wanted. Raj could only depend on his two feet. Karan had a family and yet craved love. Raj had love to share, but craved a family. Karan was the eternal Casanova. Raj was the proverbial one-woman man. Karan had it all, and yet felt empty. Raj had nothing, but his heart was full. They were two people as different as can be. Yet they found a common ground. One that led to the glorious road of Friendship! Their bond was unshakable. If Karan gave Raj a home and all the material comforts, Raj gave Karan a shoulder and all the emotional security. If Karan supported Raj at every step, 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 friendship. Their blind faith in each other attracted the envy of the world. 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 sustain? Karan and Raj defied conventions proving that true friendship was above all such trivialities. But like a bolt out of the blue came a raging storm that threatened to sink the ship that housed the sentiments of the two friends. Was it ego? A misunderstanding? Or something more? Will it mean the end of their friendship? Will they succumb to it or will their bond survive the grueling test of time? Many talk about friendship. But only a few comprehend its sanctity.

    Surprisingly Good

    I went to watch this film in advance, and i have to honestly say that this film was surprisingly good. I have to admit that after interval where the secret is revealed, it was predictable, but which film isn't. This film has it all, laughter, emotion, glamour. But akshay kumar and bobby deol i have to say played their parts really well. As for the two girls, they are just eye-candy for the whole film. I recommend to watch this film. It is also quite a short film compared to other suneel darshan films and other films at the box off this Christmas, the only other thing i have to mention are the songs, which are terrific, some better than others, but overall they are good.

    Lara and bobby

    Before i watched this film i thought it was going to be cheesy because thats what bobby and khilladi are good at but i was wrong.

    I loved this a lot that I'm thinking of buying it and i don't do that often.

    It had everything i enjoy about bollywood the beginning when khilladi is an police officer that is so funny.

    I loved the chemistry between bobby deol and Lara dutta they always seem to work so well.

    The best songs for me have to be duniya and ishq Na ishq ho.

    I didn't like kareenas attitude when she finds out about raj. The film was a nice heart warming film.

    I hope to see these guys do other projects together

    Just another movie

    This is just another movie with a silly story, some songs & some tears. I don't want to waste my time in writing what's bad about the movie. I'll focus on the good things. Lara Dutta's performance is very good. She has such amazing screen presence. A couple of songs are really good. Kareena Kapoor is good in what she does & her acting skills are good as well. Bobby Deol is jinxed. He got the looks, the skills & the money. Unfortunately, all his movies are box office bombs. This is another multi-starer to hit cinemas. But we're really bored watching stories of friends turning into lovers, lovers turning into friends, friends being enemies, enemies being friends & so on. You can watch this movie if you're really bored. And I mean REALLY BORED!

    two friends who have such a strong bond...must see

    This is one hell of a movie....emotion....love....sadness....and lat of all but not least friendship. The story revolves around the friendship of 2 men Raj 'Akshay Kumar' and Karan 'Bobby Deol'. Even in the difference of their social status Karan a rich guy who lacked love and belonging in his life but never missed anything materialistic and Akshay who was poor and had to work hard for a living they still remained the best of friends. They were inseparable...if one cried the other made him laugh....the more unequal they were, social status etc the more closer the got and society simply envied this.However all good things always seem to come to an abrupt end eventually. Will both be affected by the society that they lived in that envied their friendship. THEY never thought so but life does have some unexpected turns and you'll have to watch the movie to find out what happens....

    Excellent

    WHAT A BLAST????????????????????????????????????? I saw this movie with my cousin on EID day and when i watched the movie i said i want 2 become a actor but this movie made my cousin cry 3 times & i cried 2 times. I tell everyone something that Akshay Kumar did the best performance in DOSTI & Bobby Deol. Kareena Kapoor was looking good in Dosti & Lara Dutta. I like when Lara tells Bobby go get 4 me & my friend an ice-cream he go's 2 times they get melted then he says the 3rd time i got to do it because he LOVES HERR. The songs are smash it Dulhania. Let's Boogie & Aisa Kai Zindagi. And the sad songs are Title song, Mera Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai when Akshay Kumar gets few attacks in the song & specially ISHQ NA ISHQ HO KISSEH. Juhi Chawla her performance are good she did brilliant acting . what i didn't like that Bobby's parents in the movie didn't like Akshay Kumar that was SO sad because Akshay Kumar was poor & Bobby rich. The ending bit of the movie is the saddest part that made me so much tears come out of my eyes. In Engeland is so hard 2 find a best friends like Bobby & Akshay.
