DON disappoints critics but not the BO

DON disappoints critics but not the box office

24 October 2006

Although the critics may not have taken a liking to Farhan Akthar's Don, the film is doing phenomenal business at the box office. After Jammu having reported Don as raking in the biggest opening for any film ever in Jammu, distributors and exhibitors across the country have been expressing that not only did Don have a huge opening, as of Monday the collections were still steady.

As stated by Anil Thadani*, the Mumbai distributor in a recent television interview, Don has had one of the biggest openings ever for a film in the pre Diwali, Ramadan period. Looks like the holiday season has definitely brought great prosperity to the Don team and although critics have out rightly rejected the film, the audience reaction has been mixed, from those who have really loved it, to those who have hated... ... it, but if we go by the box office results, Don seems to be a winner.

I agree Laks...i thought the movie was not upto its mark!

true😊...I too felt it was alll fantasy...pplo jumping and crashing in a way no one can😆😆😆 by the way...lets wait...its too fast to say something now...lets wait for a few weeks...Don may turn out to be a KANK...😉

It will do well in places like Jammu and overseas. Let us wait for full figures to come. Obvioulsy the first week impact of Diwali will be there. Let us see what happens second week onwards. Like I said this film may go and become a hit but it will not be anywhere close to Fanna, Krissh and Lage Raho. Farhan Akhtar's gamble may pay off in the box office but he will not be able to escape the scathing critcism of the media, crtics and also the general public who have gone and seen this movie with a lot of expectations.

You can ride yoru luck once, but you can't keep riding it again and again. SRK's movies are now showing a trend. First one week is great opening because of hype and publicity and therefater there is a big dip.

Don is awesome im so glad its doing well at the box office!! well it is a shahrukh film and they always do well at the BO! 😃
