The film is stylish and modern, but it certainly doesn't have the refreshing quality of films like Salaam Namaste and Hum Tum. The westernised music matches the light mood of the film. The cinematography is well done, the locations are fantastic. The direction is pretty good, not that anything great is required there to begin with. This is not a bad thing, that's Johar's style and it has clearly worked for him in previous attempts, but while I found myself laughing from time to time, I was also quite annoyed by some of the cheesy proceedings. The film, in contrast to Johar's previous films where all starts as a great comedy but ends up in a tearful melodrama, remains a comedy almost from start to end, though different clichés from time to time are inevitable and easy to predict. He combines comedy, drama and emotions in one film, though in this case there's more balance, though it leans more on the comedy. Karan Johar comes up with another film that is very identified with his own style of film-making, Dostana. Reviewed by Peter_Young 6 / 10 Stereotypical and clichéd, but ocassionally entertaining.
