The first installment, ‘Dostana’ featured Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles. It is based on the story where two men pretend to be a gay couple in order to secure an apartment with a girl. Both fall in love with the same girl and strive to win her heart, only to realize that she loves someone else. This film was probably the first Bollywood film that addressed the taboo topic of homosexuality.
