Director: Farhan Akhtar
Genre: Action
Is the King really back? What does audiences say when they come out after watching the 2 hour 20 minute action flick? Yes, definitely he is back and that’s the verdict of most of the audiences and even more when they start comparing it to the recent Hollywood flick Mission Impossible.
Have we ever thought of a sequel of Don in the 70's and I guess it’s a big NO for most. But Farhan dared thinking about it and that’s the reason we had a great time with its second installment as well. The movie is nicely made (though not superbly), its stylish, visually soothing, well written with couple of good dialogues to return with. It carries well from where it left the previous and the story nicely moves on from Malaysia to Berlin where Don is out for a game. The movie is not too long and has its own twists and turns to keep you engaging. I would say the second half of the movie is more enticing and would keep you on your edge.
In terms of acting, everybody had managed to get in to their shoes decently. King Khan does a great job with his shades and dialogues. Boman was good and Priyanka was average by managing to deliver what was given to her.
On the negative, the movie lacks good songs & music and adds some sudden unrealistic human feelings. Some of the action scenes could have been more better but that’s credible when it comes to Bollywood.
I would say the Don series redefines Bollywood bad guys and takes them to a level where sometime a super hero might feel a little shy in facing them. Hats off to Farhan for the plot & the dialogues and most importantly daring to go with this. Cheers to King Khan for getting back on track.
On the whole, Don 2 is a visual delight with a pinch of intelligence in it. The movie is definitely a watch and would be more appreciated by the section of audiences who love thrills, action, dialogues and SRK.
