DON 2

Don! It's a very powerful word that depicts a very powerful man. And a very powerful man is a every man's and every woman's fantasy. No wonder that both Don and Don 2 have worked well at the box office. The trick is simply to bring what everyone fantasizes about, to reel. Not to mention that the director, Farhan Akhtar, does whatever he does very well.

I am not an action junkie. So, this movie did not generate excitement within me (except that I am contemplating getting a 'D' tattoo on my arm just like Don). But, it did for all my friends who loved the man, Shah Rukh and all his charming gimmicks (I do too). They even compared Don 2 to Mission Impossible 3 and claimed that the former was better. As for me, I did crush some nachos and pop-corn in my mouth while I watched SRK in Armani suits and Priyanka in fitted tanks and pants. We all watched the six packs on the screen while we had our family packs on our lap. :)

Like most action movie of the crime genre, there is a very elaborate plan to rob something and become even richer. And the plan heavily depends on hacked surveillance and systems information. Is everything really available by clicking on a computer? I tend to think not. The movie continues to show a secret, unfulfilled romance between Don and Roma. So sad! Roma's just wasting her life yearning for a man who is nothing but a myth. Don 2 doesn't fail to throw in some surprises for the audience, some of which we may have figured out though. And you'll get no points for figuring out how the movie ends. After-all, "Don Ko Pakadna Mushkil Nahi...".
