Dostana (2008)

Nurse Sameer Kapoor (Abhishek Bachchan) and photographer Kunal Chopra (John Abraham) meet while looking for an apartment to rent. They fall in love with the same apartment; however, the owner refuses to sublet it to them because her niece, Neha Melwani (Priyanka Chopra), will stay in the apartment alone and she does not want men living there with her. When a homosexual American soldier mentions how much Sameer and Kunal remind him of his own relationship with his long-term partner, Sameer tries to persuade Kunal to pretend they are lovers so that they may live in the apartment. Kunal initially refuses but, desperate for the apartment, he decides to agree to it. Their plan works and they move in. Neha, Kunal and Sameer become good friends.

One day, Neha's boss, Murli 'M' (Boman Irani), resigns his job as the editor of Verve magazine and will choose his successor. To impress him, Neha invites M for dinner at her house, telling him that she will introduce him to her homosexual friends. The evening is comedic but Sameer's mother discovers that her son might be homosexual and is displeased. The next day at Neha's office, M announces that Abhimanyu 'Abhi' Singh (Bobby Deol) will be the new editor. Neha, heartbroken, returns home where she is consoled by Sameer's mother. Kunal and Sameer help Neha with a project given to her by Abhi.

While Kunal is out for a few days, Sameer takes Neha on a romantic outing. Later, he tries to tell Neha about their scheme and that he loves her, but she does not hear him. Instead, Kunal overhears and stops him, admitting to Sameer that he also loves Neha. Kunal suggests that Sameer meets him and Neha that night at a bar, but Sameer is tricked into spending the night with Neha's aunt and her friends while Kunal takes Neha on a date. The next morning, Sameer is furious with Kunal.

Abhimanyu and Neha start dating, and Sameer and Kunal decide to sabotage the relationship. Despite their efforts, Abhimanyu and Neha fall in love. Sameer and Kunal redirect their efforts into frightening Abhi's son, Veer, about his future if his father marries Neha. Neha discovers that Abhi plans to propose to her during a basketball game. She asks Kunal and Sameer for advice. They are shocked and tell her that they are not homosexual and are in love with her. Meanwhile, Veer tells Abhi of his fears, asking his father not to marry Neha. During the game, Abhi hugs Neha and ends the relationship, citing Veer's discomfort. Neha tearfully evicts Kunal and Sameer and resigns from "Verve."

A few months later, Kunal and Sameer go to court to collect their resident permits and realise that they miss Neha. They find her at a fashion show and try to apologise, but she refuses to see them. Abhi appears and Kunal asks when their wedding is. Neha tells him that they broke up because Veer was uncomfortable with her. Kunal and Sameer admit the their manipulations, infuriating Abhi and Neha. Kunal and Sameer climb onto the stage and beg for Neha's forgiveness, with the crowd encouraging them and blowing kisses to Neha. The crowd ask the men to kiss each other, and they refuse. Neha and Abhi begin to turn away. At the last moment, Kunal forcibly kisses Sameer. Abhi is amazed and Neha goes to the men and they reconcile. Kunal and Sameer propose to Abhi for Neha. He agrees and the couple marry. Two months later, Neha, Kunal, and Sameer are sitting on the apartment's balcony. Neha asks them whether they felt anything while pretending to be homosexual. The men are defensive and Neha leaves saying, "sorry, touchy topic." Sam and Kunal, now alone, remember their kiss.
