After being liked by very few and disturbing many with his “RA.ONE”…The King
of Bollywood, Sharukh Khan is back soon with DON2, a sequel of his stylish franchise “DON”. He carries forward faithfully his entire cast
including Priyanka chopra, Lara Dutta and Boman Iraani…And the Crew Farhan
Akthar the director and musicians’ trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy…Great gesture of
course!! Well let’s see whether he carried forward that “hit” factor to the
sequel…
Plot:
Don surrenders himself to Malaysian Police Roma (Priyanka)
and Malik (Om Puri) and goes to jail only to free Vardhaan (Boman Iraani). Don
and Vardhaan now have the mission of stealing currency printing plates from DZ
bank in Switzerland. So how they accomplish that task…Oh come on any one who
watch recent Fast & Furious or any one of the MI series would better
explain this…!!
Don yaa Chor!!
While the Original Don (not original...actually a copy of
yesteryear Don) has a Plot that is known, a little cocktail mixing of style and
sexy “Ye meraa Dil” by Kareena made it a hit then. This has given a boost to
the team to make them bring up some Hollywood robbery plot and again make “yaak”
tail mix with the Don to create Don2. As
far as I imagine, A Don should command the world...but not “Chor Baazi”. So the
plot as such brings no charm to the sequel.
But Sharukh does not disappoint…
Though the Plot disappoints …Sharukh does not fail to
enthrall us. He has one-liners in stock for him.”Aaj ye sun kar meri maa kitne
kush hoge…Mr. Malik, aap mere Maa ko nahi jaante”…”Sir bahut sheriff saa lagtaa
hai ..Call me Don” and it’s always sounds sweet when he calls his Cop friend
Roma…”Junglie Billee” and not the least when he says “Don ko pakadnaa mushkil
hi nahin…naa mumkin hain”. Sharukh sports the long hair look just for a while
for a change and soon switches to his self…So no worries if you don’t like
that. He has that magic in his eyes and it actually shows up when he reminds
his old romance with Roma. So No doubts, Sharukh always the best…
While many die to see Priyanka’s waist like we go fida for
it with “Desi Girl” …Here she does no show...but plays boring cop who runs
behind don with no proper plan but for just sake of it.
Lara Dutta is good enough for a song and few scenes. Boman
Iraani the same…love his foolishness once again. Om Puri sticks to the role. Kunal Kapoor as Samir the hacker is a good addition.
And Hrithik plays a cameo and of course he looks stunning.
Aly Khan as Diwan, VP of DZ bank Nawab shah as local goon and Sahil Shroff as
Priyanka’s colleague are adequate.
Don2 is not even Don/2
Surprisingly Farhan Akthar, who has a film “Dil Chahtha hai”
in his kitty, directed this flick which has just a lifted plot of some Robbery
plan. There were just couple of chase scenes and suspense elements related to
robbery plan but they could not hold you long in seats. And then King Khans one
liners will bring some good time and that’s it that Don has!!
And it’s a blunder not to have a jabbardast item like ”Chammak
Challo” or “Chikni Chameli” to lure the audience and Musical Trio Shanker-Ehsaan-Lio
just lets us down with one ok number ..”Zara Dil ko Thaam lo”
Finally….
Don is a sequel for the sake of it. Who knows you might like
it for its grandeur and the grace of Sharukh. So you can have some sweet time
if not completely sour. But Sharukh better “Don”t do “Don” yet again...Let him
come as in Swadesh or “Chak De India”..We love to see him that way.
Rating…
2.75...Sharukh You can give us much better!!
