Don - a reviewless review.....

If Farhan Akthar might ever want to do a Thesis, He might find the references list pretty stocked as below. He would actually do well to add this title towards the end of his movie

References

Quentin Tarantino,Director of' Movie 'Kill Bill:' (2003)
John Woo, Director of' Movie 'Face Off' (1997)
Simon West, Director of' Movie 'Con Air' (1997)
Ian Flemming, writer of 'Moon Raker' (1977)
Dominic Sena, Director of' 'Sword Fish' (2001)


A multi faceted, Martial arts specialist ( Priyanka chopra) ( lifted from Killbill)is out to take revenge on Don, who actually is a impostor, with his features made to resemble that of the original Don ( Lifted a bit from Face/off, just to make the movie a bit modern). She realises that the one she wanted to avenge is dead. Then finally when the impostor is caught by the police and flown back (a la Con Air style plane prison)she teams up as in several anonymous bollywood movies, and tries to help him ( u can say, the original Don, ;-). He finally escapes and establishes who he is...only for a little bit of Travolta starrer Sword fish thrown in towards the end..


Now...watch the movie..I really liked it..:-)

Itz atleast 80% as enjoyable as Farhat Akhtars earlier hit DCH.

For that matter, think of it this way..

If u havent seen any of those english movies above, which would mean renting each one for $3 and thus costing u more than $12 bucks...u could as well pay $8 and watch this movie in the theatre..with the added advantage of watching a collage of all these movies in our 'Rashtra Baasha'

Btw, did I mention, Shahrukh rocks :-)
Have fun people :-D

Totally agree with you except that the previous Don was really much better (maybe because of its originality and AB). But ya, it can be worth a once watch.
