Shahrukh Khan entertains you in the new Don
Well you must have read a few reviews and now that you have lowered your expectation, Don is a great watch.
The new Don is a remake of the older Don and remakes have to follow the same storyline and so it has to be within certain constaints. And Shahrukh Khan and Don is an entertainingly new version of the older Don. Never before Shah Rukh looked so sleek and stylish in an action movie. One reviewer commented that Shahrukh should just do romantic movies !! Why ? Shahrukh is surprisingly good in this new action avatar.
Farhan Akhtar takes liberty with the script and added a few twists to the story including one really killer twist. Watch out for it and you will get clues all along the movie. Priyanka Chopra does justice to the role and looks good in the action sequences. Kareena Kapoor looks very awkward in "Yeh Mera Dil", a guest appearance. Arjun Rampal's story moves parallely while Boman Irani is convincing.
Shahrukh Khan is now 41 and looks old in a few sequences. But if you think of Don and Shahrukh's performances in action movies till now, Don is a refreshing and entertaining movie with a really good performance from SRK. As for those who complained that this movie is emotion-less, well for a change this movie has no romantic songs and no romantic sequences … well thats what a DON does !!! You cannot expect a DON to run around trees.
But yes, a few more light hearted reliefs would have helped. Maybe the sequel will take care of it !!
