Well those who want to watch the movie to compare shahrukh to what amitabh did in the original, must not go and watch it. Its purely a shahrukh movie. Must tell you honestly I watched this movie because I had a passion to see the magic created by the director after a larger than life music, to add a cherry on the cake shahrukh was playing the lead, yes I was biassed. But believe me while in the movie (mind it, the first show in my town) I never happened to see that old shahrukh at all, not even for a single dialogue. Disappointments I had after I saw him in KANK, have been overpowered with this mind blowing action packed performance. The decency and the grace he has added to the character is well timed and very contemporary( he cudnt be loud as he is not a 70's ka don). He has actually lived the character.
As far as actresses are concerned I guess bipasha could have replaced kareena very comfortably while priyanka was very good in a sequence where she abducts don with an ambulance.
Hats off to the music- amazing, brilliant and as I wrote larger than life.
The screenpplay is the highlight and the twists given by the writer make the new flick more interesting, with some breathstaking stunts done in the air, the twin tower and the don abduction sequence, make the movie a must watch.
And this is not it, hold your seats till the end. There is a suspense where the original movie died.
In the last, just want to add I watched original don 3 days back and I dint find it comparable with this, may be the story, the dialogue, and the events portrayed are same, but there could not be any better a tribute to a block buster like this.
