Don 2 Review

Farhan Akhtar has taken credit for the dialogues, direction and story of DON 2.
This, apart from being in the production team. Farhan, as we all know,
has set very high standards in Bollywood. So DON 2, which has no story,
dialogues which are 'college class' and no direction comes as a
surprise.
No, in fact it is a huge blow because this is not
something that you expect from a Farhan Akhtar. DON 2 is as bad as the
recent duds like SHAKAL PE MAT JA, BE-CAREFUL, and MILEY NAA MILEY HUM, to name a few.
Let
me start from the beginning. For the first 15 minutes, you are
clueless. The next 15 minutes you are trying to fathom what exactly is
going on the screen. For the remainder of the film, you are left numb
with disbelief.

Shah Rukh Khan tries too hard. There is no aura of a Don around him. Nothing sinister even though he tries bloody hard. Priyanka Chopra
is left mouthing, 'Oh my God,' 'Really,' and 'I'm on my way.' She is
not convincing as the character she plays and is as clueless as Farhan
and SRK. Om Puri looks as stunned as the rest of the cast while a role
etched out for Kunal Kapoor
is laughable. Even Aly Khan who was impressive in a movie released two
weeks ago, JO HUM CHAHEIN (Featuring two debutants), is left groping in
the dark. Boman Irani, what have they Don(e) with you!
The beginning itself is a bummer.
Everyone wants Don dead and the Malaysian cartel where he is king has
been given a deal by gang lords in Europe to finish off Don so that
they have a network there. This is because Don has now set his sights
on Europe. There is a gun (automatic weapon) pointed at Don's head and
he is surrounded from all sides. So what do these guys do? They indulge
in dialogue baazi and in the clumsiest of action moves Don triumphs.
C'mon Farhan, this is an action flick. Make it believable!
There
is no fear in the moment. Another low-point is Don surrendering and
being imprisoned in a maximum high security prison in Malaysia. His
escape from there with Vardhan (Boman Irani), in the most comical way
is more annoying than sinister. It's like a Tom and Jerry show. But
even in a Tom and Jerry show you marvel at the innovative ideas of the
two characters to get at each other.

A
third most disappointing factor is the use of Hrithik Roshan. OK, even
if you have to use him as a face mask, at least don't show his double
thumb. This way we will think he is a part of the cast!
And yes, there is a hint of Don 3 making its way...
