SRK silences detractors as Don 2 turns into a hit
By Joginder Tuteja, Dec 30, 2011 - 15:03 IST

Shah Rukh Khan must have gone through some real anxious times when the Thursday evening press show resulted in select mischief mongers spreading negative word of mouth about his latest releaseDon 2. Critics in general weren't really kind too and despite the fact that the film took the best opening ever for a non-holiday release, there were many waiting with daggers and all set to attack after the weekend went by. However as things stand today, Shah Rukh is pretty much having the last laugh with the film holding well even on the weekdays, hence ensuring that the film is a clean hit and may just turn superhit.

"Don 2 has done well and now all eyes are on how far would it go", says a source, "Of course Ra.Onebacklash coupled with the fact that the film hasn't been designed for universal audience means that the film wouldn't end up creating or beating records set this year. However, it is now entering the Rs.100 crore club and make neat profits for all involved. For Shah Rukh this is now his second century in a row. Of course Ra.One was touted to do much better but negative word of mouth aborted its run, though not before it managed Rs.115 crore for itself. However in case of Don 2, multiplex audience across the country are liking the film which is a big plus." 

There are some who are of the belief that given the fact brand Shah Rukh is involved, each film of his should be setting benchmarks instead of just coming close to them and compare with the contemporaries.

"Agreed, but for that a film should be designed as the one with universal appeal as well", says a prominent filmmaker on condition of anonymity, "If he plays to his strengths and ends up serenading women in chiffon sarees for a Yash Raj film, he is bound to set records. However, of late he has been experimenting too much and making a conscious call to stay away from mushy affairs, case in point being a My Name Is Khan, Ra.One or Don 2. Results are of course going to be mixed."
 

However, his fans worldwide are now rooting for him to do get back into wholesome family entertainment mood as a result of which in months to come, he would begin films which, as per industry parlance, are considered to be 'safe'. 

"Yash Chopra's film that he is doing with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma cannot go wrong. Then there is Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express for which he starts shooting with Kareena Kapoor. These are the films that have an eye on multiplexes as well as single screen audience. Guess Shah Rukh is through with technology, gizmos and 3D now, it is time to get that major biggie which would shut the mouth of even the staunchest of detractors", the filmmaker adds. 

His fans wouldn't mind that either.

Ok my don 2 review :P,

Don's cool and languid entry on the speed boat Goshhh It was so damm stylish man!!!

When he exclaimed damm abhi mujhe boat khudh hi chalana parega, u could'nt help bt smile …..

He is demure, he is cocky, he is glamorous ..n he is THE DON!!!

 ''yahan ka sabse achha Italian restaurant konsa hai….spaghetti with red wine :P

He has got some nerve man!!1

Smoke swirls around his face in a circular motion, he lazily flexes the ''D'' tattoo on his biceps, his dreadlocks blow in the wind and the piercing eyes peek above the RayBeans ……….i was gawking at the screen by then …

All the one-liners said by ofcourse Don r classic !!!He watches tom n jerry with a smile, n also plans a murder in cold blood…..when cornered he refuses to go down his knees when conered for that would stain his white trousers…

As I have said before he is deliciously wicked. …..wickedly charming…charmingly sexy..n sexily twisted..

Don shared a sizzling chemistry with his junglee billi….SRK PC were Awesome together…their spunk and a crackling chemistry spice's up the movie…Boman Irani ,Lara Dutta, Kunal all do a gr8 job.. Bt SRK just steals The show man ..SRK Makes Don!!!!!

The plot was super ..interesting n engaging hats of to Farhan again, he is extremely talented…

Action scene and techniques were bang on …

The HR special appearance was wow……n Ending I was much taken in surprise by the twist in the end, bt I guess when it comes Don I should be expecting shocks in the end hehe

N again coming 2 don , I cannot still get over him :P he is evil, he is wicked bt is jealous of his jungle billi's lover.. he is unbelievingly charming man…..

You Love him

You can Hate Him

But Definitely not Ignore him…..

Nice article :) Thanks for posting Aish! For SRK, it's kinda become like if its not 100 crores its flop. Didn't beat Bodyguard it's flop movie. Almost like poor Sachin, who can make 70-90 odd runs but its just not good enough because its not that century..😕 
 
I think Don 2's done quite well for a film without a hit soundtrack to attract single screens, with SRK who's coming out of the huge backlash he got for Ra.One, it's not the desi masala action that's doing so well right now, very low-key promotions so essentially this movie was riding on WOM.
 
Hmm and yeah SRK hasn't done "his forte" romance films for a long time now. RNBDJ was a good 3 years back and that movie was only made to save YRF because all their films were flopping. That SRK-Katrina-Anushka film has a good chnace of breaking records. Yash Chopra + SRK at Diwali has yet to fail  *touchwood* + Katrina + AR Rehman as the music director! BO-wise its a great combo...
