Don 2 Review – Don 2 Movie Review, Rating, Hindi Movie: Shahrukh Khan is back as Don. Farhan Akthar and SRK decided to take this franchise ahead after successfully remaking Amitabh’s action classic Don. If Don is more of a cat and mouse game, we get to see Don as a perfect thief in the second installment. Did Don 2 live up to the expectations? Let’s find out in the review…

Listen Review:

Story:

Don (Shahrukh Khan) deliberately gets caught and meets his old foe Vardhan (Boman Irani) in the prison. They both escapes from the jail and Don plan an international heist which would earn him billions of Euros. Roma (Priyanka Chopra) is after him and how would Don pull off the heist forms the rest of the story.

Analysis:

If Don is known for its style, Farhan takes the second version two, three notches higher in style. The film is unbelievably stylish that you would fall in love with it despite the slow pace. However, the slow pace does bother you at times as this type of films needs to be racy and put the audience on the edge of the seat.

The plot is simple yet interesting. Don uses his wily tricks again and does fool the audience with the final twist in the tale. But what makes the film looks bland is it has less thrills and very little engaging sequences. There are shades of Ocean’s 11 and other Hollywood heist thrillers in Don 2, but the drama and buildup is missing.

Don 2 will only appeal to audience who like the style over everything. The film is up to international standards in all aspects but lacks the heart of an Indian film. It will do good at plexes and may not be liked by the masses.

Performances:

Shahrukh Khan steals the show. If not for him, this film would have been ended up as an outright dud. What a performer he is. He always does the best when he plays a baddie. Priyanka Chopra’s screen presence is pretty good. But her character is not etched well. Om Puri is more like a caricature. Boman Irani is unconvincing. Kunal Kapoor is alright.

Technicalities:

Dialogues are excellent. One liners written for Shahrukh will win the hearts. Cinematography is topnotch. Background score is fine but the songs are not composed well. Editing is sleek. Production values are on par with international standards.

Farhan Akthar proves that he is the best stylish filmmaker in India. Had he taken care on the script Don 2 might have worked wonders.

Final Word:

Don 2 can be watched for SRK and its stylish filmmaking. Slow pace will be the biggest problem for it to impress audience who look for fun. Even the thrills and action part is not very convincing.

Don 2 Movie Rating: 3/5
