Don 2
December 30, 2011
Directed by Farhan Akhtar, Don 2 sees the return of SRK as the elusive Don. Frahan has masterfully carried the plot forward and given us an action packed thriller. Priyanka Chopra reprises her role as Roma and Boman Irani is back with a vengeance as the notorious underground criminal Vardhaan. Several new faces join the cast - sexy Lara Dutta as Ayesha, Kunal Kapoor as Sameer Ali, and debutante Saahil Shroff who plays a cop on Don’s trail.
best film of the year, but Don 2 sure is slick, stylish and speedy. My suggestion: watch it in 3D.
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 director, Farhan Akhtar, seems out to create a spectacular, international entertainment with “Don 2,” in a mix of Hindi and English and a dollop of German. And thanks to the unpretentious humor, he is mostly successful, though audiences will have to forgive the bland performances. Not the actors’ fault, really; when a cocky chuckle (Mr. Khan) or determined lips (Ms. Chopra) are your only character bits, you don’t have much character to explore. Only Kunal Kapoor, as a more sympathetic colleague of Don’s, has human moments.
Overall We give it a four star
