Review of Don 2

Don 2 (2011)
4/10
Starts off well, seems like the story would get somewhere. Alas, it doesn't!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie, which could actually have turned out quite well, was ruined due to the lack of knowing where to draw the line. The plot, that starts off quite well, ends up in a mess, in an unconvincing an overdone attempt to bring about a clever plot. Towards the end of the movie, there are so many unnecessary and unoriginal twists, that the story seems to go round and round in circles, making you wish for the torture to just end. Even the element of deception was quite predictable.

The point in the movie when your dislike would get solidified would be when the character Roma, portrayed by Priyanka Chopra, apparently falls for "Don" (Sharukh Khan) and even under threat of being shot, can't bring herself to kill him! This is the man who killed her brother and who she wanted to destroy for years, according to how the story started in the first part anyway. Not only does this turn in the story go against everything you learn about this character, but it also renders the plot quite unintelligent and in some ways, desperate.

The performance was alright. Quite a few good performances in the movie. Although all Sharukh Khan seemed to be doing most of the time was dishing out one-liners and trying to look good.

If you just want to sit back and listen to stale dialogues and kill some time, do watch this movie. But if you're expecting a good story and an impressive plot, watching this movie is frankly an annoying waste of time.
