Superstar
Shahrukh
Khan
and
director
Farhan
Akhtar's
previous
movie
Don:
The
Chase
Begins
Again
was
a
blockbuster
in
2006.
After
five
years
the
duo
has
come
back
with
its
sequel,
Don
2:
The
King
is
Back,
which
also
marks
SRK's
return
to
anti-hero
role.
Before
its
release,
the
movie
had
created
lot
of
curiosities
among
the
audience.
It
do
meet
the
expectation
of
the
audience
and
Shahrukh
once
again
rocks
them
as
don.
Don
2
is
an
action
thriller
film
and
Shahrukh
Khan's
dazzling
action
is
the
major
attraction
in
it.
The
stunning
visuals,
Jason
West's
wonderful
camera
work,
classic
action
and
thrilling
chase
sequences,
stylish
narration,
hip
and
witty
dialogues,
spectacular
locations,
beautiful
costumes
are
the
other
highlights
of
the
movie.
What
does
not
work
in
the
film
is
its
songs
composed
by
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
The
movie
has
a
stylishly
crafted
story,
which
is
full
of
vigorous
stunts.
But
one
can
deny
the
fact
that
Farhan
Akhtar
has
borrowed
several
element
of
Hollywood
films
like
Ocean"s
Eleven,
Die
Hard,
Mission
Impossible
and
few
others.
Yet,
it
is
a
right
package
of
entertainer
for
Indian
movie-goers.
The
film
seems
to
have
been
made
for
the
movie
buffs,
who
love
international
thrillers.
It
is
not
surprising
if
viewers
go
to
sleep
in
the
first
hour
of
the
film
due
to
boring
dialogues,
long
dance
sequence
and
Hrithik
Roshan's
hilarious
cameo.
But
the
post-interval
portion
of
the
film
is
sure
to
hold
the
attention
of
the
audience.
The
second
half
is
an
exciting
ride
with
several
adrenaline
rush
moments.
In
Don
2,
Don
(Shahrukh)
surrenders
himself
to
the
police
(Om
Puri,
Priyanka
Chopra),
who
send
him
to
a
Malaysian
prison,
where
he
meets
his
old
foe
Vardhan
(Boman
Irani).
With
his
foe,
Don
escapes
from
the
prison
by
mixing
poison
in
food
served
to
everyone
there.
Then
they
go
to
Berlin
to
rob
the
currency
plates
for
which
Don
takes
the
help
of
a
hacker
(Kunal
Kapoor).
Shahrukh
Khan
has
played
a
wicked,
debonair
anti-hero
in
Don
2
and
he
has
lived
it
up
with
gusto.
He
also
impresses
the
viewers
with
varied
looks
in
the
film.
As
Roma,
Priyanka
Chopra
has
delivered
a
high
order
of
performance.
Although
Lara
Dutta's
character
has
less
scope,
she
also
wins
the
audience's
heart
with
her
glamour.
Kunal
Kapoor,
Om
Puri,
Boman
Irani
and
others
have
also
delivered
good
acting.
Don
2
is
very
rich
in
its
production
values
and
Jason
West's
cinematography
is
the
major
highlight
in
it.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's
music
for
songs
is
good
but
it
is
not
up
to
the
standards
of
the
movie.
Dialogues
are
another
attraction
of
the
film
and
they
are
sure
to
become
catchphrases.
The
locations
and
costume
also
add
to
the
beauty
of
the
film.
The
editing
is
slick
in
the
first
half
but
it
is
ok
in
the
second
half.
Overall,
Don
2
is
a
perfect
entertainment
package
for
this
Christmas.
After
Ra.One,
this
movie
holds
a
mirror
to
changing
trends
in
Indian
cinema.
Don't
miss
to
watch
SRK's
dazzling
stunts.
