Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
hikerhetav Don shares a special place and a mention in the category of Bollywood films on genre of mafia and goons. Actually this Don is out and out remake of Chandra Barot's 1978 original. While Amitabh Bachchan had a memorable and indistinguishable characterization as Don, Shahrukh Khan had more stylish, fiercely furnished character. SRK was so intriguing in his first venture of Don and he completely dominated the whole film. Coming back to the story, Farhan Akhtar has stole the show, even as halfway possible. Story itself is gripping and flawlessly directed film makes it more sophisticated to see decorated film in the 2000's decade. SRK as both Don and Vijay are ebullient to watch on screen. Priyanka Chopra as Roma is delightful to watch. Other actors to watch out for are Boman Irani, Om Puri and lesser way possible Arjun Rampal. Though Farhan Akhtar was mild to keep secrets safe and there had been a little let down due to predictability in the second half, it doesn't let you make fumble over exciting thrill. Suspense plots were aptly kept so that patrons could feel tense throughout the film. Secondly, film has more uprising like James Bond films. Plot, thrills, action etc all are comparable to Bond ventures. SRK is no less than a Bond to feature in such films and to lure people over his skills and charisma.
GaneshKSalian Don directed by Farhan Akhtar is boring,tiresome film.It would be shameful to tell that the movie was a remake to the 70's classic Don starring Amitabh Bachchan.The new Don is not even half-entertaining as the old Don.Story:-In 2006, the drug trade is booming; trafficking between Asian and Europe is at an all time high. It is at this time that the Malaysian intelligence and Anti-Narcotic department are called upon for assistance by their Indian counterparts. There are rumors that the gang recently moved their operational headquarters. The cartel is headed by the dreaded Singhania, but what many people do not know is that the business is truly managed by his lieutenant, Don(Shahrukh Khan). A man who lives life on the edge, Don is constantly expanding the size of his empire while evading arrest or death at the hands of his enemies, both within and outside the law. He is unstoppable in his pursuit of absolute power. His chief pursuer is an Indian police officer, Desilva(Boman Irani). He is a man who has sworn to put an end to this nexus of evil and knows that in capturing Don lies the key to unlock this puzzle. And one day he succeeds. Don is captured and Desilva puts his plan into action. Unknown to even his own department, Desilva has recruited and trained a man who is a spitting image of Don. His name is Vijay(Shahrukh Khan). Vijay infiltrates the cartel and manages to give Desilva all the information he needs to bring it down. But in a bizarre twist of fate, Desilva is killed during a raid and the secret that Don is in fact Vijay, a police informer, is buried within him. The only people who realize that he is in fact an impost are the members of Don's cartel, and they want their revenge. Vijay manages to escape and is now on the lookout for the one last piece of evidence that can get him out of this mess. Helping him on the quest are two people. The first is a Roma(Priyanka Chopra), a young woman who was working in the gang, but only to avenge her brother's death. He had been mercilessly killed by Don when he had decided join the gang. The other is Jasjit(Arjun Rampal), the real father of Vijay's adopted son, Deepu. He owes Vijay for having looked after the boy while he was in prison. Wanted by the police, hunted day and night, forever on the run. The chase has begun. ( Om Puri's character Malik and Isha Koppikar's character Anita are not even worth of writing in the story because they hardly do much in the film) Don is good only for two reasons: i)Stylish cinematography,Good stunts and electrifying background score. ii)Excellent performance by Boman IraniThe direction is bad.The music is average.The performances except delivered by Boman Irani,the rest all are dull.All in all,Don is bad watch.Disappointing!
kumarambar70 Don is literally one of my favorite movies and i could n't imagine anyone else than SRK to play the protagonist part .The movie is based on don who got caught by police thereafter some series of excited events .The main thing about this movie was Breathtaking Background score combined with action sequences and my favorite scene was don jumping from plane and battling in an air . Overall i will give it 10/10 because in my opinion this is perfect movie for any be it children ,parents etc and song sequences are also good even it is copied from original don there is always a sense of excitement and adrenaline chase in the movie .Kareena was again gorgeous and fabulous ,priyanka was okay and Isha was complete waste of time and energy by directors .now i am waiting for don 2 and hope it will be even better than first part .
laurakis74 I started watching Bollywood movies about a year ago and i must say that i find a great improvement in latest releases (compared to, lets say, movies that are 5 years old or more). Better acting, great camera angles, nice musical acts, interesting plots, and the scripts are waaaay better than before. Just to say that my husband LOVED this movie and also Om Shanti Om. Thats a lot to say because he is usually hypercritical and doesn't like Bollywood movies at all. Shahrukh is a better actor everyday. This performance was absolutely convincing, even if he has a double role as Vijay/Don, which are quite different characters. And nice fighting scenes. I didn't think i would see kung-fu fighting in a Bollywood movie. I sincerely hope we have more Bollywood releases in Argentina. They release only a few titles that go directly to DVD and are hard to find. Last movie to show in movie theaters was Lagaan.
