I dont know why I suddenly saw the similarities between Mujhse Dosti Karogi and Cocktail.
The basic plotline of both films followed the same idea.
The carefree male lead - Hrithik & Saif
One spoilt bigree hui rebellious girl - Kareena & Deepika
The goody two shoes mahaan girl - Rani & Diana
Spoit party gal is best friends with seedhi saadhi bholi bhaali more traditional ladki.
Carefree male lead first falls for the rebellious girl for the "wrong" reasons.
Saif gets into a relationship with Deepika just for the physical aspect.
Hrithik pursues Kareena coz he thinks she wrote him the letters and coz she's "prettier/hotter" etc etc. Basically phyisically more attractive, at least in the storyline
Halfway into the film, confused hero realizes he actually loves the seedhi saadhi bholi bhaali kudi, not the rebellious bigree hui party girl.
But by that time, the party girls have fallen in LURVVEE with the "golden hearted" hero...who basically becomes an ass who really doesnt give a damn about her at this point and is ready to jump ship without any care or regard for her feelings.
Both Hrithik and Saif selfishly proclaim their feelings to seedhi saadhi rani and Diana, and threaten to break the hearts of the evil Kareena & Deepika.
But the seedhi saadhi larkiyaan give the ultimate dosti ki kurbaani and give their kasams to the men to sacrifice their love to make their best friend happy.
In the end, the spoilt women prove that they are not so spoilt after all, and become the bigger gals by realizing that their true love loves someone else. And alas, sacrifice their own love for their friends' happiness.
Oh, and both films had the consolation prize angle. The pity guy to pair up with the seedhi saadhi girls in the middle of the film.
While poor Rani had to make do with Uday Chopra, Diana had a better deal with Randeep Hooda.😉
Seriously, no one else spot the similarites?
The ONLY difference I see is that in MDK, there was an extra love angle with gobi ke parathe.
That's about it.
