Movie: Don-2 The King is back
Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta,
Boman Irani, Om Puri and Kunal Kapoor
Amid much anticipation and after the game-over of
Ra-One, the Baadshah of Bollywood is back; and this time with the police of 11
nations behind him. “Don-2 The King is back” which released on in 3-D and 2-D proved
to be a chartbuster. Shahrukh Khan as Don, Priyanka Chopra as Roma, Lara Dutta
as Aysha, Boman Irani as Vardhan, Om Puri as agent Malik and Kunal Kapoor as Sameer Ali together
delivered stupendous performances which is evidently seen in the movie.
Plot:
The
major objective of Don is to dominate the European underworld, which he does by
planning to loot the currency plates of Euro from DCB. This he does by teaming
with Vardhan. Also, Don brings in Sameer Ali, a hacker to help him loot DCB.
Roma is an Interpol agent and is desperate to catch Don alive. How Don loots
DCB and commits the ‘perfect crime’ forms the storyline of Don-2.
Action,
with Style: The movie begins with a stunning entry
of Don in his hermit avatar. The action sequences are on par with those of the
Hollywood films; and as the film moves on, we realize that the film has a lot
more to show. The iconic locations from Switzerland, Germany and Malaysia are a
visual treat. It is apparent that Farhan Akhtar (director) has done his
homework pretty well. 3-D was cleverly used to reinforce scenes like throwing
of dice and Don jumping from a skyscraper.
The climax of Don-2 in which Don is shown riding a
Ducati is highly masculine and it certainly got the girls going wow over him.
Interestingly, the number plate of the Ducati was ‘Don 3’. Will expectations
come true?! Only time will tell that. The film ends with Don saying the iconic
dialogue: “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi…”
Sadly; the songs in Don-2 were unable to even make
our feet tap. Except ‘Maaya’, all the other songs failed to make an impact.
Even the title song wasn’t good and it reminded me gravely of ‘Mujhe pehchano’
of AB’s Don. But, the background score was good enough to keep us awake.
Bottomline: Don-2 is enthralling and keeps the viewers at
the edge of the seat exclaiming ‘Wow’. The 3-D, as always, helped the viewers
getting the ‘feel’ of the movie. Overall; SRK has received his christmas gift
and so has the viewers.
Awesome!! Well written!!
