All is well till they meet the sexy siren Neha and thus begins a journey of fun, frolic and a test of friendship like never before when Neha’s boss Abhimanyu enters the fray as the third contender for her affections, it gets even hotter under everyone’s vests and bikini’s and the boy’s get down and dirty, in sunny Miami.

LA Weekly David Chute
As it's been done, with this ingratiating cast, a retro peach-and-turquoise color scheme that makes every shot look like a 1986 fashion layout, and a brace of insanely catchy Vishal Dadlani dance numbers, the movie isn't half bad.

Los Angeles Times Mark Olsen
Running just shy of 2 1/2 hours, the film has too much of everything, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. By turns exuberant and goofy and mushy and yearning, Dostana plays like a super-sized pilot episode of "Three's Company: Miami" with crack tunes and jampacked with fun.

Gay's the way, but the way's not really gay, in the fluffy and largely entertaining Dostana.

Hysen gave it a7:
The film was different than other bollywood movies touching a bold topic for the first time which makes it special. All actors were good except for Bobby Deol. Comedy was good but not something which would us to the edge of our seat.

Goofy gave it a10:
