So last night, I watched Don 2, had to miss the first couple of minutes due to real bad traffic and parking issues. Anyway, the movie was simply fantastic. Don is definitely the most smartest criminal ever.
The movie is like a jigsaw puzzle as my friend described. It's a interactive movie. You won't leave the theater house wondering how Don did this and that because you get told everything in 2 hours and 25 minutes. Unless you end up missing any minute of the movie then you'll have to wonder. For example, I missed the beginning so I didn't understand a certain idea of the film. I won't reveal anything about the movie because I know many of my readers are yet to see it.
I loved the background score. Yeah, I have to mention this because the background from the Facebook game and the main website game are both used in the movie. When I was hearing it, I was like ah ha! I heard it somewhere before and it eventually took me back to the game. Now I understand the main website's game a bit more. Although neither games had much connection with the movie itself but still, it had a teeny tiny hint. ;)
Performance wise, everyone was really good. The movie doesn't have a gazillion characters to confuse the audience. It's well organized and each character are there for a reason. Really must applaud for Farhan, Ameet and Amrish for writing such a smart story. Quite relevant with Don 1 but much much better than Don 1. I understand the fact that Don 1 had to be made keeping in mind the 70's Don movie of Amitabh Bachchan since it was a remake. But still Don 2 is really a masterpiece. Like I had tweeted on twitter, this is how a sequel should be.
Don 2 is known to be the first sequel to a supervillain's tale. In Bollywood, this is the first sequel which is worth calling a sequel...that's my personal opinion.
Coming back to performances, I really have to praise Shah Rukh. If anyone can play the character of Don then it can only be Shah Rukh Khan. For me, Shah Rukh is the real Don. I nearly fell for Don in certain parts of the movie. But being well aware of Don's cunning mind, trust me, there was a war going on between my head and my heart. I never had such a battle because of a movie. And not to forget that I had guessed many things but my mind missed the part that Don 2 is a heist movie. Nearly all my guesses were proved wrong. There are plenty of "OMG", "Oh Shit!", "Fuck!", "Wow!!", "WTF?", and all that kinds of moments.
On a side note, it's really hard to write a spoiler free post about Don 2 because all is in the movie itself so now I will shut up and if you have not watched it, please do watch it. If it didn't release in your country, hold on a bit because Don 2 may be coming to steal your breath away at a theater near you ;)
And yeah, I watched the movie in 3D! My first ever 3D movie and it was simply awesome. At the end, I was speechless and thoughtless hence I waited 24 hours before writing this post.
Let me end this post by saying, it's not just difficult to catch Don, but it's IMPOSSIBLE!!
