Don 2 Movie Review

Ratings:3.5/5 Reviewer:Taran Adarsh Site:BollywoodHungama

When viewed in isolation, DON 2 looks like the right package to woo the movie-going junta — SRK in top form, a stylishly crafted story, pulsating and invigorating action and stunts. But it’s not without its share of hiccups. In fact, the first hour and the post-interval portions of the film are akin to the two sides of the same coin. The first hour is bland, the second is energetic. The first hour is deficient in thrills, the second keeps you on the edge. in DON 2, the lines are in sync with the various guises and situations of the Don. The dialogue are masterly and the flamboyance with which SRK delivers the lines is what makes it exceptional.On the whole, DON 2 rides on star power and brand value. The film has a bland first hour, but the second half takes the film to another level.

Don 2 is a classic action/crime thriller that doesn’t let go, even for a moment. More importantly, the plot has been finely crafted, with every twist and turn falling into place like a complicated albeit neat little jigsaw.The high point of Don 2 is Shah Rukh’s delineation of the character of the Don. The actor interprets him as an arrogant, agile, wicked and wild dare-devil who has the most bizarre schemes up his sleeves. But that’s not all. He also has the chutzpah to carry them through. Action is the other alluring selling point of Farhan Akhtar’s film. The chases, the fights, the demolition, destruction, break-ins, escapes have all been done with a finesse that rivals the best of Hollywood.Don 2 does lack a bit on the emotional quotient and human relationships are hardly given a chance to grow.A word about the dialogues: brilliant. A word about the music: mediocre

Akhtar is definitely one of the smartest filmmakers in Bollywood, but this time he presents us a story, plot and script that is dull, almost boring. When we are not seeing SRK’s swagger, or hearing the hip upbeat background score , Don 2 starts to lose steam. For an action film with the central plot setting us up for a robbery inside a major bank, the film’s pacing is very slow. Coupled with that, the script explains everything to us step-by-stepFor a suspense thriller, Don 2 has no edge-of-the-seat moments, despite a decent car chase sequence and a scene when Don jumps off a tall building in Berlin. As I sat through Don 2 — a wannabe MI4, I was breathing too heavily, frustrated at the slow moving film.

In Don 2, Akhtar manages to blend elements from various H’wood films, mostlyOcean’s Eleven and Die Hard, with a bit of Mission Impossible thrown in. This is our answer to Hollywood – a rehash of what they’ve done already. No points for originality.No points for writing either. If Akhtar’s film lulls you to sleep initially, in spite of some slick editing, it’s because the writing.What keeps Don 2 alive, then, is its pulsating action. It helps the pace quicken as the film progresses, including a thrilling chase sequence and a wonderfully choreographed-and-shot pre-climax sequence.Watch Don 2 for some kick-ass action. And Shah Rukh Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan compels one to leave the bitter memories of Ra. One behind and experience an exhilarating ride with Don 2. Hollywood style crisp action sequences and different avatars of SRK, prisoner and eventually ultra-classy Don keep the spectator busy. The story picks up pace in the post interval portions with tremendous suspense value related to Kunal Kapoor. Shah Rukh Khan, direction, cinematography, dialogues and editing are the strong points. Lack of songs subtracting down the Bollywood masala element from the film which was prevalent in Don, sluggish screenplay in first half are the weak points.On the whole, Don 2 is a perfect combination of style with substance. Definitely a one-time watch for one and all and treat for SRK fans.

Shah Rukh plays a baddie after a long span in his career and adds charisma to Don. But the actual hero of the film is Farhan Akhtar who seems absolutely sure of what he is looking at. He makes the actors perform, the technicalities sound and has put soul into the film. Don 2, is different and shuts all of them up who compared Don with the Big B starrer.  The action stunts picturized should be commended with some must-watch breath-taking sequences. Editing is crisp but the romantic angle added could be explored more for commercial reasons. Farhan Akhtar’s direction is great,A must watch for action buffs.

I have seen the movie, and personal rating would be 3/5. Let me know what you guys think about it??

Shahrukh Khan’s next – DON 2

“That was the earlier version of the song. It’s very unfortunate. I am very depressed by that, more depressed than any other news that I have heard. That was the trial version. The original version is with us and I have told everyone to take a little more care,” said Shah Rukh, who plays superhero G.One in the film.
