Movie Review: Don 2

Movie Review: Don 2

Director: Farhan Akhtar
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani

By the time it dawns on you that a 6-feet contemporary Bollywood actor (in a cameo) has been passed
off as the unabridged undercover for Shah Rukh Khan's Don in the film, you are expected to be
equipped for many more of such cinematic liberties. And rather than crying a spoiler there, you
could rather preset your logic mode to the multiple masquerades in store in the movie.

Don 2 takes place approximately five years after the first one with the ruthless Don (Khan) still
at large and on every wanted list across the globe. Inexplicably, he surrenders himself to Interpol
officers Roma (Priyanka Chopra), Malik (Om Puri) and the authorities in Kuala Lumpur in the hope of
gaining immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for information on all his contacts and
illegal activity.

Story Treatment: Shah Rukh Khan compels one to leave the bitter memories of Ra. One behind and
experience an exhilarating ride with Don 2. Hollywood style crisp action sequences and different
avatars of SRK, prisoner and eventually ultra-classy Don, keep the spectator busy. The story picks
up pace in the post interval portions with tremendous suspense value related to Kunal Kapoor. The
vulnerable love sequence between SRK and Priyanka also commands for appreciation in terms of how
it brings the necessary twist in the story, which can be called the forte of Farhan Akhtar as a
story-writer.
