dosti

the love between two boys.. not that kind- all of you who have been corrupted by american homophobia and immediately jumped to sex. it is very romantic and devotional- one is named ram and the other mohan. one is lame and the other is blind as they sing on the streets of marine drive. art deco vs slum- the grand battle. the melodrama has all the ingredients- death, floods, poverty, corruption, jealousy, guilt. and still the boy with beautiful eyes who cant see and the other sultry scholar rise above it all with perseverance, truth and all the other assorted ideals of early indian nationalism.
a barjatya film has very few villains and so does this one. there is even a dog called tuffy.
