Review of Don 2 (2011) by Swaran C — 23 Dec 2011
DON 2 - If u go to the theatre expecting a mindblowing thrilling story which will run for a 120 page script, then you will be a little less satisfied.. This is like a typical Hollywood Flick like MI, James Bond, etc. where the story is clear and simple (script is only 60 page long) but the execution is such that the entire product looks grand. The story is simple - "Don wants to become the King of Europe." But how???? It is the execution of that simple story which makes the movie a grand one. The film is about plots, twists & turns. In fact, this film is all about that grandness.
There are breathtaking action and stunt sequences which will put all other Bollywood action movies into shame. Even some Hollywood movies will find it hard to compete with Don 2 in this respect. Regarding performances, SRK was at his best. Never seen SRK perform like that. All other casts were good but the character of Boman Irani could have been explored much more.
Lastly, the whole credit goes to 1 man - Farhan Akhtar. What he have done in Don 2 will make the Hollywood action directors wonder about how can he make a film with so less a budget which looks like a Hollywood movie. Hats off to him. He have perfected all the technicalities in this film.
This is clearly a movie not for the critics but for the audience. The movie has got a high "repeat value" which is a good sign.
