Sadly, i had to see this mvie in bits on you tube cause it hasn't come t my city yet. But despite this i thought it was a brilliant movie. i had been looking forward to it since farhan had announced it but after reading the critics, i was almost afraid to watch it and find out that it would be a dissappointmen. However you guys gave it good reviews so my hopes rose again and it definitely lived up to my expectations and i can't wait to see it in a theatre. I am not a srk blind fan but yes, he is my favourite actor. The reason i don't think i qualify as a fan is because i don't think he's the best actor, he's just my favourite. I guess i'm a borderline fan. Anyway back to the movie, it starts off really well and i definitely didn't find it slow paced, the screenplay is very similar to the old but it is a remake so that is justified. The thing i really loved about this movie is the action scenes. They weren't over the top and neither were they second rate. They were in the middle and almost perfect. I hate scenes where the actor does silly, impossible things which aren't justified, making him look like a superhero or when the action is really crap. Thankfully, don was neither. The second half is just brilliant. I won't give it away though. One thing i reallised that some of you said was that arjun rampal is a bad actor, i have to disagree. I think he's very good and i thought he was great in this movei, of course his role is short, but he plays it effectively. Those who say he's bad, watch Aankhe- simply superb acting by all. Shahrukh was the perfect don. it was a real treat to see him in such a cool role and play it so well. As vijay, he barely had any scenes, they were well played but here comes the only drawback of the film. No matter how ggood he acts, the role isn't going t suit him. The makeup should have been better and farhan should have changed the role to suit shahrukh better. Why a bihari? why not someone else. It's just one of those times when a role doesn't suit an actor no matter how great he is like Ajay playing a mentally affected person. It just doesn't work and i think ajay is a brilliant actor but i simply can't imagine him like that. Priyanka was way better than she was in krrish i wish like the original she had more fighting scenes (but i haven't seen the whole movie so could have missed them) Boman Irani was superb. Farhan did an amazing job with this movie. it is no doubt his best one. Sure it's not original but as far as direction goes, brilliant. I'm also glad that they took out some silly scens from the old one. I saw the old one two days ago, and most of the last 40 minutes of it are a perfect way of how to ruin a good movie. This way they have improved on it. No idiotic things Overall, this is definitely the best indian action movie I have watched and even better than a lot of hollywood ones. Infact it is the best movie i have watched this year. I thought LRMB was the best but not anymore! I would recommend this movie to anyone who doesn't hate shahrukh and isn't a remake hater. Plus if you don't like action or like only romance thn this isn't the movie for you.

i think don works because of its starcast , hollywood style direction and action scenes.and ofcourse the storyline. same thing happen in the past with sholay , it got trashed by the critic and didn't even work in the theaters for few days,now its one of the biggest blockbusters of hindi cinema they did the rite thing by remaking Don,the old version really needed a makeover,i think its was kinda slow paced and boring sometimes. And the people seems to like it,the 1 million figure in ticket sales proves that.

the basic problem of don is the casting of shahrukh......farhan had remade a film that was very ahead of its time....with BIG B giving a great performance...in the role of don.....instead of having a lanky built he convincingly carried out the part of don with elan and a rusty ,simple,and great performance with great dialogue delivery in the charecter of vijay......with gripping performances by pran(who took double the amount of Amitabh for this movie),zeenat and iftikar......and the sound tracks sung by kishore kumar(khaike(all time hit) and are deewano....)were amazing even asha's track was unforgettable(ai mera dil....)..........but alas this was not to be in the original.......sorry farhan...i know you gave it your heart and soul and your twist at the end was the best part and you dont want us to compare it with the original....but still i think comparisons are inevitable......the biggest mistake you made is the choice of shahrukh as don.......neiter he has the physique or the acting talent to carry on the role..........only wearing good clothes doesnt make a good actor....farhan you did very well by killing the dehati charecter of vijay so early......because that was the worst enaction i have seen in my life.........even your roma was very weak........arjun rampal was good.....but he should have been the original don......kaareena destroyed the elan of helen.....but farhan your biggest mistake was including khaike......that too with shahrukh....in that god forbid dehati style..........also the movie was a wee bit long.....i felt sleepy........boman was very good in the film especially when he runs with a bullet in his hand.......please tell him to loose some weight...........the only half point i gave to this is because of you farhan.....another requesy to you is dont try to copy old songs as there cannot be another kishore kumar........and if you remake any other amitabh movie try to cast amitabh only.......since none living in this earth can replace his magnitude........try a kashmir ki kali for shahrukh next........but not a silsila or kabhi kabhi

I haven't seen the original so i couldn't compare, but, gotta say, this is a sassy film that is really well made with an excellent script and a wonderful ending. the theme tune is ace as is the choreography, action and stunts. Priyanka is good as is Arjun Rampal. Issha looks great and Kareena is good in her minute appearance, thanks to a stylish song. Boman Irani is wonderful but Om Puri is wasted. Shah Rukh is brilliant as Don though i think isn't all that as Vijay, because he isn't a comedic actor as i feel he goes over-the-top. However, its a great entertaining film.

SRK looks great in this movie. I think that he tried his best to look like Amitabh and he did a pretty good job. Priyanka chopra is quite good aswell. Although Isha Koppikar wasnt the best suited for this role but she was a good performer. Music was appealing. Overall a must watch movie.

Farhan Akhtar's Direction is Good as a Fresh Movie but if You make a Remake then its Poor. Cinematography is Excellent by Mohanan. There is no need to take Om Puri for Interpoll Officer roll as he is great actor. SRK is trying to put Leg on Amitabh Bachchan's Shoes but " Baap Baap ho ta Hai Beta Beta Hota Hai " AB's Style is Unique SRK cannot perform his style he has to do more work on it.SRK is not well on Action Hero's role. He has to do only Yash Chopra's Movie.

In the start of the film I thought, what am I doing here? With even some dialogues the same as the old don, I thought this film lacks on originality. But as the film moves on, you start to love every part and want to see the film till the end. Of course there are some points at the film that bores you, but still there are some really good points at the movie that will thrill you. In my opinion none character in the movie wanted to be like the old version of Don. Is it the king khan himself, or Arjun, or Priyanka or anyone else. They have given every part of each self, inspired by the old don.
