The 'D-Series' in Abhishek's career

Well, we are not playing any guessing games here but simply talking
about the importance of three films in Aby's baby, Abhishek
Bachchan's career, all starting with the alphabet, D. The first of
the three was Goldie Behl's DRONA, which has already released and is
unfortunately on way to acquiring a disaster status. So, we will not
discuss that. We would rather focus on the two other very important
films on which rests the hope of reviving Abhishek Bachchan's
career.

The second and most promising of the lot is Karan Johar's Tarun
Mansukhani directed romcom, DOSTANA, in which Abhi teams up with the
co–star of his first super–hit, DHOOM, John Abraham. Trade is upbeat
about the film as its promos have certainly managed to arouse the
expectations of the common cinegoer, especially the youth, at whom
DOSTANA is targeted. Handsome hunks John Abraham and Abhishek
Bachchan and not to forget, the junior Deol, Bobby (in a very
special appearance), along with the ravishing Priyanka Chopra, will
try to lure the audience to the theatres. Another plus point of the
film is its music by Vishal–Shekhar, which is already getting
popular. And naturally DOSTANA being a Karan Johar film there is no
doubt that it will be distributed and marketed and most importantly
hyped well!

The last of the 'D–Series' is going to be Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's
DILLI 6, which pairs Abhishek for the very first time with Anil
Kapoor's beautiful daughter, the SAWAARIYA girl, Sonam Kapoor. Once
again expectations are bountiful from DILLI 6 as this is Rakeysh's
next after the critically acclaimed super–hit, the iconic, RANG DE
BASANTI. The film looks good what with (additionally) veterans like
Waheeda Rahman and Rishi Kapoor present, as was evident from its
first looks of the Taj shoot.

So, lets hope that the remaining two films of the 'D–Series',
DOSTANA and DILLI 6, succeed in giving Abhishek's career the much
needed boost after the recent setbacks.
