Dostana - Bollywood

Another comedy from Karan Johar.
A sex comedy about two guys without a home. When they finally got a home to live, it came with a string attached,  "Only babe allowed". The nosy aunt seems to be too protective about her niece and will not let any guy live in the fantastic penthouse.

So here we are; guys who declare themselves as gay to get the house. Things look great until the niece turn up to be a very hot and sexy girl.

Both guys fall for the babe while otherwise pretending to be gay. Later comes more slapstick stuff and another angle to this love triangle, the girls boss.

the story is missing, there is lots of comedy and absolutely nothing serious.
1.5 for acting, 2 for cinematography, 2.5 for entertainment and 2 for story.

Just Like Heaven - Hollywood

A nice light-hearted comedy with a little touch of Fantasy.
Story revolve around a lonely landscape Architect, who rent an apartment only to find a living ghost in it.

He fall in love with this lady who refuse to believe that she died. Further investigation lead him to truth, that she Elizabeth is comatose in the same hospital where she used to work as doctor. The movie ends with Elizabeth waking up again and finally both finding each other as true love.

There was lots of emotion and a truly different storyline. As usual the story was not too demanding and hence acting was just okay.

3 for a very different storyline, 3 for overall entertainment, 2 for acting and 2.5 for cinematography.
