The use of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham background music is inspired as the theme of that movie is very relevant to the situation.

The end, whether one sees the kiss or not, is bold nonetheless, to have a crowd cheering on a kiss and making that the climax, rather than reacting negatively.

I really didn’t find it stereotypical or offensive … Mainstream Hollywood movies would do much the same. Dostana is actually ahead of Hollywood in terms of showing same-sex couples as being normal and openly gay soldiers being normal — yes, in the U.S., and yes that isn’t actually true in real life, but the movie never once implies that the normalcy is a bad thing for the society that it’s in.

Otherwise a Bollywood buff, I have decided not to see the movie as a principle, as I am pretty sure it contains stereotypical and offensive references to Gays. You can argue its all in a light vein but still its one thing to laugh on yourself versus laughing at someone else’s cost. If Karan Johan declared himself gay publicly, I wouldnt have any problems going to the movie.
