It's 23rd December, and the last week for Bollywood 2011 begins today. This was a rather average year with very few movies that got unanimous praise. Don 2 directed by Farhan Akhtar having Shah Rukh Khan repirse his evil avatar 5 years later was for obvious reasons the most anticipated movie of the year. I though personally didn't feel that it would be anything too great.
Starting off in Indonesia, with the Don stating that he has become the King Pin in Asia the movie has a unique style with a sleek look to it.
Shah Rukh Khan does enough to woo every lady in the audience. His swaggering walk to accompany his confident dialogue delivery and menacing smile would surely make him a contender for the Awards this year.
The first half builds the movie up and at times you'd feel lacks the pace an action movie would want but the intelligent direction, having just the one song in the movie and the absolutely delightful work by Javed Akhtar on the dialogues tickle your funny bones time in and time out.
The Second half is where you feel that the movie can be compared to Hollywood. The cinematography by Jason West is superb that along with a gritty screenplay glues you to your seats.
Boman Irani plays cleverly with his expressions and witty lines and long with the undeniable presence of the King form the best part of the film. Priyanka Chopra looks pretty and does an average job. The rest of the cast just hops along the main one and puts up an above average effort.
The music which was evident even before disappoints. I didn't like the music of the earlier Don either. S-E-L are expected to be much better.
All in all the movie is stylish, elegant and can even be seen more than once but please don't ruin it by thinking it'll be better than the MI or BOND series.
And an Extra Clap of the Hand for Shah Rukh. What charm!
3/5 for Don 2.
I'll watch it again and review it again too. I have to :D
