Cuts to the chase

The film itself is truly a spirited work of a '70s movie-enthusiast; a novel idea, when official remakes as tributes have usually been considered the privilege of an old 'classic' that Don isn't.(more)

Farhan Akhtar's Don is a Shah Rukh Khan film all the way. The superstar literally breathes fire into his character of a ruthless and clever Don. But Farhan relies too heavily on style rather than substance. (more)

Well Done

Don (2006) is a contemporary action thriller with good entertainment, peppy music, endearing Shahrukh and nostalgic memories. You can watch this film and enjoy it as long as you don't compare it with the classic Don (1978). The twists towards climax would add extra zing to the contemporary screenplay. On the whole, the new Don works!(more)
