Don 2: The Chase Continues is an upcoming Indian action thriller film directed by Farhan Akhtar. It is the sequel to the 2006 film, Don: The Chase Begins Again, which itself was a remake of the 1978 film Don. The film stars Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta, Boman Irani, Om Puri and Kunal Kapoor. The film is set to release on 23 December 2011 in both 2D and 3D formats and will also be available in Tamil and Telugu languages.
The film's original score and soundtrack has been composed by the trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
The Don 2 trailer looks pretty darned sharp where we see a speedboat slice through verdant green waters as Khan, in over-baritoned voiceover, tells us that his enemies thought he was dead and now he's back and ready for more. A word about the voice, though: in a sequel to a film where he stepped into Amitabh Bachchan's shoes - which seemed a couple sizes too big for him at the time - this voiceover seems to be yet another tribute from Khan, trying to sound a bit like that man who keeps proving he'll never be too old.
And then, just as he uses up all the gravel in his throat mouthing the'remember who I am, I'm the Don' lines from that classic song used smartly here as dialogue, he smiles and says'boom', a car explodes on cue, and then it's Shah Rukh all the way.
The rest is standard blockbuster fare, explosions and slow motion turns to the camera, maximised for dramatic effect. But there's absolutely no mistaking the fact that this film looks very, very slick indeed.
Note:
1] Subsequently, the first trailer was unveiled online and met with unanimous positive response, crossing 2 million views on YouTube in just 2 weeks and 3000+ likes within a day of its release.
2] Since the quotes of Don(Shahrukh Khan) in Don had become very popular, producer Ritesh Sidhwani and producer-director Farhan Akhtar have decided to popularize the dialogues of its sequel, by releasing a series of 11 witty tongue-in-cheek dialogues of the Don from the sequel, one every Saturday starting from 15th October right till the release of the film on 23rd December.
What do you think of the Don 2 trailer? Do you think SRK will give us the year's biggest blockbuster with Don 2 or Ra.One?
