Movie Review: Don 2….twice is not as nice

Okay so maybe that title makes it look really bad which would have probably been apt for most part of the movie. As you exit the hall though, your final notion is..it wasn’t all that bad
So what changes things? I wish I could tell you but then you’ll have absolutely no reason to go and watch this movie in the hall, so I’ll refrain. I wish I could also say that this is one movie where style meets substance but it wouldn’t be the whole truth. The style is definitely there, no doubt about it. Its the substance that we miss, especially given that this comes to us from Farhan Akhtar.
Classy packaging, nice and sometimes riveting action (mostly in the second half) are probably the hallmark of this movie. Beautifully shot, the movie spans a multitude of international locations. The plot isn’t a great one but there could be some minor surprises to keep you interested. However, there is some downright amateurish stuff as well which was a pity since its not expected from Farhan Akhtar. Most of the action though is tightly packaged, save for the unnecessary romantic angles thrown here and there.
No offence to die hard Shahrukh fans but I just don’t see him in the Don character. Probably the same issue one faces in identifying with the ideal James Bond as well. In fact, by giving the original classic the twist that he did, Farhan in one moment, transformed the character of Don into a more complex and extremely strong character. While Khan portrays him quite well, he just doesn’t look the part, at the end of the day. In fact, his characteristic laughter is the only thing that comes close to associating him with such a character. So while the King may be back..I am not sure if he should be looking at a third outing as well
As for the others, well they are all incidental. Priyanka looks lovely, plays her part as expected but her character has become too plain and simple in Don 2. Veteran actor Om Puri is completely wasted in a character that may well have been played by an extra for all the acting talent it required. Lara Dutta has too fleeting an appearance to be of notice. The guest appearance (sorry, can’t say who) though illogical, is a nice addition and adds a new dimension to that particular sequence, also portraying the brilliance of the director to add that part.
One mistake I made is to watch this movie in 3D – bad idea…there is nothing 3D worthy in the movie and there are many instances where you wish you could follow the action better without those infernal glasses on. This one’s a no brainer – don’t watch it in 3D!!
So if you do go to watch this one, go in with ordinary expectations ( not Farhan Akhtar’s best by far) and the master planner’s masterful plan might well catch your fancy
