Don 2



My rating: 2 stars out of 5.
Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, Kunal Kapoor, Lara Dutta

The movie continues what was started eons back by Amitabh Bachchan and more recently by SRK himself.
The underworld wants to out Don as he is a threat to their business. To save himself and make money in addition, he chalks a mega plan which primarily includes looting a bank's vault and stealing the money printing tablets. The movie has a lot of twists and turns which are revealed with time. For this plan to be successful, he takes the help of his one-time-enemy, Vardhan (Boman Irani).
As there is nothing in the movie which will keep you on the edge of your seats, I can go on with spoilers. But for all you SRK fans, I will refrain from doing so. The movie takes the cake for direction and stunts but lacks very sadly in dialogues, which range from 'Don?''haan, autograph matt lena please' to "tumhare aur arjun ke beech mei kya chal raha hai". Too cheesy for the taste buds. Also, SRK didn't do justice to the role given to him. He was too caught up in being G.One and Suri Saab from Rab ne bana di jodi. He should stick to the lover-boy roles. He does them well, but action hero... not so much. Maybe wait for torrent for this one.
