We are gay!

The 60-second trailer of Dharma Productions' Dostana is the most controversial Hindi film promo in the history of Bollywood.

The video shows leading men Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham as lovers. HiTLIST got a sneak preview of the clipping, which hits theatres today along with Bachna Ae Haseeno.

The promo opens with the signature Dharma tune of Kal Ho Na Ho, with the Miami skyline and a pink convertible speeding on an open road. Soon, the mellow tune gives way to a bouncy hip-hop number, and a bare-bodied John Abraham emerges from the water in yellow trunks. Without wasting much time, the promo then cuts the scene where John and Abhishek are doing the tango, with Bachchan Jr, holding a rose in his teeth. In another scene John announces to a woman, "Hum gay hain!" and pointing to Abhishek adds, "Yeh mera boyfriend hai!"

This is the first time that a mainstream Bollywood film with big actors has based its entire storyline around the gay theme. There are multiple shots of John and Abhishek romancing each other, holding hands, blowing kisses, hugging and even lying on top of each other! It's blatantly evident that of the two, Abhishek's character is more camp while John is the man in the relationship. It's hard to miss the two dressed up in sailor outfits, an ode to the fantasies of a gay man.

Priyanka heats up the promo in a stunning gold swimsuit on the Miami beach. Towards the end, there's another closer bare-bodied shot of John coming out of the ocean.

Interestingly, the 60-second promo doesn't go OTT or crack lame jokes on the gay community. The tone of the teaser is that of festivity, fun and frolic. John and Abhishek's on-screen romance will give many hot Bollywood jodis a run for their money.

Why Gay?
Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham pretend to be gay to rent a room. The landlady doesn't let the place out to bachelors, therefore the act.
