Some years back, I heard that Farhan Akhtar (super-hit Dil Chahta Hai and flopping Lakshya-fame) is going to “remix†the classical Don. My immediate reaction was: “OK, let’s see what happensâ€, but I wasn’t so optimistic. In addition, putting our super romantic Shahrukh Khan in such movie didn’t sound like good idea in my ears.
Fast forward, some months/weeks back, the promos of Don started to go on TV, and I just “woowâ€. Suddenly, after looking at the A-class action scenes I changed my mind, and was really looking forward to this movie. So after waiting throughout ramzan, the wait was over 27th October 6 P.M. Me and my youngest brother was so excited while we were sitting in the cinema hall.
The movie started, off course with an action scene, and slowed down a little bit after wards. However, 3 hours later with this ride, mixed with typical Bollywood masala (songs, emotion, tears, laughs etc etc) we heard: “11 molko ki police Don ko dhoond rahi hai, par ek baat jaan lo, please, Don ko pakarna moshkil hi nehin, ...........â€, the public was shocked! They thought, “what happened†while they were walking out of the hall with the pumping techno-theme of Don in the background.
In other words, Don leaved us with an amazing experience and you can conclude that bollywood is experiencing a step forward with this A-class action film in its pocket.
