“Dost” title is like Halley’s comet. Halley’s comet is visible from the earth after every 86 years, and the title “Dost” can be seen after every 10 year, beginning from 1944. Thus we had the sigtings of movies called “Dost” in 1944, 1954, and 1974. In 1964, we got a title called “Dosti” instead of “Dost”.
