Dostana is a romantic-comedy, starring Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. The movie was released in the year 2008 when the phrase "gay-love" started trending. It was the first big budget movie to openly talk about homosexuality. However, none of the characters in the movie was actually gay, but trailers hinting homosexuality out loud centered a lot of drama and attention.

So even before the movie hit theaters, it had established itself as one of the super-hits of that year. Obviously, the gay factor trended, but let us not amiss the fashion factor of the movie. From Priyanka Chopra's golden bikini to Shilpa Shetty's ensemble in the song Shut up! And Bounce, the wardrobe also added to the buzz about the movie.

However, the much talked about gay element surpassed the absolute ravishing wardrobe of the film, and today we have decided to do the justice which was never done. We have decided to talk about Dostana's wardrobe and appreciate the work of designer Aki Narula.

The movie commences with the song Shut up! And Bounce, featuring Shilpa Shetty. As always, Shilpa looked amazing in her yoga body and also, complimented this gorgeous rainbow-colored skirt and the halter neck.
