What the critics say
Critics call Dostana a zingy, outrageous comedy carried by terrific Abhishek-John chemistry and music, though most agree the second half drags and the ending feels divisive.

Derived by Filmi
62
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 2 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
