Don-2 The King is BACK

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.
