Don: the chase begins.
this bollywood movie is extremly hilarious and diffrent.i really like this movie and there are certain reasons why this movie is so unique and cool.
the first reason is tht unlike some other movies, Don does not contain so many emotions, feelings, tears, or sacrifice. now I will reveal the plot and ending for u all who havnt watched this movie.
plot:
In 2006, the drug trade is booming. The Malaysian Intelligence and
Anti-Narcotic Department are called upon for assistance by their Indian
counterparts. There are rumours that a drug gang has recently moved
their headquarters to
The Indian team is headed by DCP DeSilva(Boman Irani) who wants to break the back of the drug operations of a drug lord named Singhania. Also helping him is Malik(Om Puri). He believes that capturing Singania's dangerous and elusive lieutenant, Don, (Shah Rukh Khan), will be the most effective way of accomplishing this. Don's gang consist of Narang(Pawan Malhotra) and Anita(Ishaa Koppikar). Soon, Roma(Priyanka Chopra)
joins them but she has other plans - kill Don. Don was responsible for
killing her brother Ramesh as well as his fiancee, Kamini(Kareena Kapoor).
During a chase with the police the real Don is seriously injured and
is captured by DeSilva. He keeps it a secret that he has captured Don,
even from his fellow officers, and tracks down a look-alike called
Vijay, a lowly singer(also played by Shah Rukh Khan). He asks Vijay to
infiltrate Don's gang by pretending to be Don. In return he will make
sure that the child Vijay found and adopted, Deepu(who is the son of
Jasjit played by Arjun Rampal)
gets a proper education. Meanwhile Jasjit who has just been released
from prison sets out in search for his son, Deepu, and to get his
revenge on DSP DeSilva who arrested him and prevented him from rescuing
his wife and child from black mailers, this in turn killed his wife and
left his son missing.
DeSilva trains Vijay and admits him in a hospital(in which Don is
also admitted and supposedly in coma) to surgically give him all the
scars and birthmarks the real Don has on his body. However Don dies of
heart failure suddenly in front of DeSilva and the doctors, who are
unable to save him. While Vijay is infiltrating Don's gang, DeSilva is
captured and killed in a fire blast; and Vijay is forced to run from
the police as well as Don's gang members - pursuing the last piece of
evidence(a disc) which has all of Don's criminal activities loaded on
it, a disc which can get him out of this mess.
Through various plot twists, Vijay recovers the disc. Eventually, it
surfaces that DeSilva is alive and is actually Vardhan, a notorious
underground criminal with a grudge against Singhania, Don's boss, and
eventually ends up killing him. Vijay arranges a meeting with Vardhan
and assists in his capture.
In a final twist, it emerges that the real Don is still alive, and
was pretending to be Vijay who he killed and replaced while in the
hospital. It was actually Vijay who had died in the hospital of heart
failure in front of Vardhan. In the end both Don and his girlfriend
Anita(Ishaa Koppikar) escape, bewildering the police and Roma.
from here the movie ends .
here are the things that were different from the old movie.
There were some main wrinkles which Farhan Akhtar
introduced to differentiate this version from the original. First,
DeSilva, instead of Malik, is revealed to be Vardhan; also, Singhania,
the other crime lord, does not appear in the original Don. Secondly,
Don was never actually replaced with Vijay, and had manipulated
everyone else from the start by actually killing Vijay and putting
himself in his place(Don was never caught in the old movie as well).
Another thing is that in the old Don, Jasjeet had two kids while in the
new Don, Jasjeet has one son. Also, a change in Jasjeet's character was
that he was a performer in a circus in the older version of the movie,
whereas, in this version he was a computer engineer(systems security).
