Here's presenting the recipe of MUJHSE DOSTI KAROGE prepared by Chef KUNAL KOHLI exclusively for CANDYFLOSS, the CHOPRA chain of restaurants: Borrow the basic story idea from DTPH (or any triangular love story). Use a dash of KKHH in the first half and SAAJAN in the second. Some glimpses of DDLJ as per taste. Take Kareena's entry and her father's death sequences from K3G. Add the MAINE PYAR KIYA inspired song parody sequence and end it hurriedly, inspired from K2H2 again. Add the regular YASH CHOPRA sauces i.e. melodious music and cool choreography. Garnish it with foreign locales, jazzy costumes and grandeur sets. MDK is ready. The CHOPRA restaurant also gives you an extra papad (Uday Chopra) free of cost.So the story is about 3 friends, who are separated in their childhood. Raj (Hrithik) shifts to London and from there mails regularly to Tina (Kareena), who isn't much interested in replying. All those emails are replied by Pooja (Rani) but under the name of Tina (Well I suppose the net wasn't introduced in India about 15 years from now). Raj comes to India and gradually falls in love with Tina, but when he realizes that all those letters were written by Pooja his heart suddenly flips over towards her in less than a second (like they say, Hrithik Ki Tarah, o sorry, girgit Ki Tarah rang badal na). Then starts the triangle. Finally friends become lovers and lovers become friends. And when it comes to Hindi cinema, there isn't much difference between the two terms.Film-critic-turned-director Kunal Kohli handles many sequences with sensitivity but relies too heavily on the tried and tested stuff. Like the climax that shows a pinch full of sindoor falling on Rani's forehead appears way too clichéd. Moreover Words like farz, vaada, saccha pyar, qurbani are bandied about so many times that they lose their significance.Finally the movie clearly belongs to Rani Mukherjee who has the meatiest role comparatively and does full justice to it. Hrithik is good but suffers from Shahrukh hangover at times. Kareena's role is just an extension of what she did in K3G.Recommended only for the sweet-film toothed.

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** 'Mujhse Dosti Karogi' is typically a teen movie. If this were a Hollywood movie it would have most likely starred someone like Freddie Prinze Jr. or Sarah Michelle Gellar or both. The only difference being that they can actually (just) pass off being in their late teens, early twenties.All in all this movie is quite entertaining. The story revolves around three teens, Raj, Pooja and Tina, who are seperated when Raj leaves with his parents to Britain. Raj has a crush on Tina and stays in contact with her through e-mail. Tina is bored with Raj, so smitten Pooja e-mails Raj in Tina's name. After a decade or so, Raj returns and the problems ensue. Pooja doesn't want to admit she wrote the e-mails, but it doesn't matter anyway, because Raj falls head over heels with the much more beautiful Tina. [Personally, I think Pooja (Rani Mukherjee) is much hotter than Tina (Kareena Kapoor)]. Until of course he finds out that Pooja wrote the emails.First of all, let me say I loved Rani in this movie. Her character was truly endearing. Which made it even worse she ended up with a schmuck like Hritik, who falls in and out of love at the drop of a hat and manages to blaim everything on the person who has loved him his entire life. *POSSIBLE SPOILER* When he reproaches Pooja for lying to him, because he is really in love with her, I wanted to smack him. But naturally Pooja wouldn't just roll over and gave him good by telling him that he's the one who didn't recognise her as the person who had been sending the emails. After all, he had told her that when they would meet his heart would recognise hers... aaahhh...As far as the acting goes, like I said, Rani was brilliant. Hritik was so so. It's quite remarkable that whenever Hritik tries to display emotions like anger or grief, he looks like his eyes are about to pop out of his head, his head is then gonna explode and he wants to smack someone elses head into a wall. I much rather prefer Shah Rukh Khan who when displaying grief or anger stays admirably calm and controlled and turns on the puppy dog eyes. As far as Kareena is concerned, her acting is good except she comes across as a real lightbulb, as usual. But I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps her character Tina is a lightbulb, in which case Kareena's acting was really good. All in all, this movie is quite enjoyable, if you don't mind a Bollywood teen movie. It would have been nice if it had a more original ending, for instance if Rani in the end fell madly in love with Uday Chopra and let Hritik and Kareena make each other miserable.**/5 stars

Mujhse Dosti Karoge was a pleasant surprise, The plot was a decent variation one of the usual Bollywood themes, and the primaries performances were all top notch.There were a few inconsistent moments when Hrithik's character was getting a little too mean to his love interest and the viewer would find themselves continuously changing their opinions on the which of the primary characters they liked depending on their most recent actions. Another minor gripe was that we were supposed to find Pooja to be nowhere near as beautiful as Tina, but Rani Mukherjee is stunning and and this concept was a little too unbelievable.Hrithik Roshan has battled the critics for the past two years aside from K3G and has finally netted another decent role to perform and this should restore him to "Not Finished Status" He is a decent actor, and I would be hard pressed to identify anyone else in Bollywood that can dance as well, his movements are as graceful and natural as any man can muster - He is the human slinky!Kareena although named Tina (Swapping her K3G name, for Rani's KKHH name) manages to bring back her Pooja role from K3G and until the last reel is note very appealing in anything other than physically, the character finally starts doing some things that show a little depth later in the film and by the end you actually like her. (Providing you aren't Amisha Patel).Rani Mukherjee has finally been given a major role that she deserves, no, she isn't the acting genius that her cousin Kajol has proven to be, but that doesn't keep her from continuously delivering solid performances, regardless of the size of the role and screen time. This film is no exception. Rani plays the role very well and she seems to be headed to being a big star. As people may know, Rani is a sweet person who can't manage to say anything bad about anyone and I wish her all the best, she deserves it.So if you are an actor, your father is the producer and your brother is a screen writer, do you think you will find trouble getting a role, of course not, Uday Chopra comes into the movie halfway through and while I really want to like him and his performance, I find that every time Uday is onscreen, in this film or others, he looks like he is having too much fun, In other words, he looks like he is acting rather than getting lost in his character like the other performers. This sometimes is distracting and brings down a scene. I think that eventually someone will clue him onto this fact and he will become much more believable. But note until the day that someone has the nerve to tell the son of one of the most successful men in Mumbai...Great soundtrack, In some of the musical numbers choreography seemed nonexistent, but other scenes such as the Medley of Chopra hits were done very well.Overall the movie was fun, I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, while not perfect, it was an enjoyable film and perhaps will get the critics to chup chup (Shut up) about Hrithik for a while.
