Review: DON 2 (2011)
Don 2 may just be the movie to cure Ra.1 nightmares!
Score:6/10
The movie clearly has raised the bar of Indian cinema, with action
genre at least. Its punches, plot line and sharp editing makes it
unarguably the best of the lot, so far (in bollywood). It starts with a
bang on a contraband deal that goes wrong, in Thailand. The story then
moves on to Malaysia, where Don surrenders himself to the interpol only
to escape with Vardhaan to Germany. Here, the story develops around a
mission of a near improbable heist. The movie doesn't waste much time
before the robbery begins and with it the twists and turns. A
refreshing take on car-chase sequences and some raw action keeps the
movie upbeat. The downside would be Priyanka Chopra trying too hard to
look serious and with her some other newbies as well. The background
score was a major disappointment for its incapability to walk with the
film's tone. The cheeky one-liners can make us laugh and also make us
say, "Can't you just do it silently!". Shahrukh Khan was commendable
(though he does go over the top at certain places). Overall, as The New
York Times stated, "If Mission: Impossible and Ocean's Eleven had a
bombastic, funny and slick cousin, it might be Don 2".
