*Could you do three in a day? **As much this comment was bold enough,


the same was in turn unexpectedly evolved as the movie, **Dil Dosti Etc. **People


who have followed my articles, knows that its not that strange that this one


got me to write over it. Anyway, … coming over movie….


Story revolves around Hindu College,


Delhi and one folk(Mercedes Benz Son) named **Apoorv**. He is the main lead


and his own ways of discoveries or could say to find an aim out of today’s real


life in unconventional way leads the story, in what way it is. Story as I said


starts with the comment, when **Sanjay ****Mishra**(**Shreyas**) in


just a casual conversation asks, if **Apoorv** could do bed with three in one day and Apporv reacts in light ways over it saying “Do you think of me as a


white water lake”. But probably, no one knew that this will be main theme at


the end. He asks, *When you are young, you believe possibilities


are endless, ** ****what do you wish to? Wealth, Fame, Strength, Love, Friendship, Sex?


**Apoorv**, a just entrant to college life, who just like normal


boys, wants to skip ragging and so kept running from Hostel in nights and


keeping days in busy. Difference is, he has the money and he has to spend his


nights in a city, where probably no one elder knows him. A young Richie Rich in


now days could look over which obvious ways, when has no friend circle around;


pr*stitiutes. Once started, it went on habbit and even when he was over with the


reasons to stay outside in night, the same was not over. Was a fling with that pr*stitiute,


which he wished to get over his rules than the professional ways? Till the last


day, he kept on paying, so he knows the limits.


Then he befriended with Sanjay Mishra,


someone, who hails from Bihar and at least has a reason to do what he does.


Have you noticed? The same were the words from Apoorv. Then he meets a college


going girl **Kintu**, who want to have fun in life(college life love,


wants to have stud around her), he want to have her as wish to have a cute girl


as girlfriend, but sure his engaging thought can no way relate with the poor little


girl, neither even the girl wishes so. Other character around is **Prerna, **a


girl popped into life of Sanjay Mishra. Reason power, difference and curiousity


to look over a different perspective.


*Wealth** Apoorv has it as he just came back


from his father’s US office.


*Fame** He wants to enjoy that short span fame, when others called him


stud or champ of seducing. *


Strength** Probably this is what attracted him towards Sanjay.


*Love** He wants to know about, but is there any to drive him crazy after


being just used of … *


Friendship; **Has he ever asked about? His curious mind scans and


investigate over behaviours.


*Sex; **Only things, he seems to enjoy. But its now a habit than passion or


maniac-ness.


He


wants to know what he wants and the journey unveils in typical Prakash Jha ways


that where youth is going.


You come to watch movie and if found


similar company, then make fun of it saying it porno or cheap; if found someone


middle class with you like **Sanjay Mishra, **thencriticizeinhardwords, but it makes you think. You yourself think that why you


are criticizing those deeds, sentences and ploys, even might have passed


through from here or there? Is it total absurd and away from life? If you have


the answer or even trying to find the answer then this movie is done with what


this one wanted to do.
