Don or rather Dont
Recently I went to watch Don. I was persuaded to watch the movie by friends, and I wen tinspite of the fact that Shahrukh was in the movie. In general I dont watch Shahrukh Khan movies. I am bored by the very concept of those movies (Swades aside). I dont like a gay man dressed in gay clothes trying his level best to portay a non gay part.
I adore early bacchan movies and to watch farhan Akhtar make a mockery of a classic is simply not acceptable. Ok that was exagerated. But shahrukh does not have the persona that Amitabh has to carry a role of a DON. Helen is way to nimble for a fat arse Kareena to portray, I bet if helen had danced at this age shed have looked prettier than Kareena ever will in her life. Arjun Rampal was OK..he did what he could...after all he knew from the start he could never matchup to Pran. The best or worst part is that Boman Irani is human...he does not suit all parts and was horrible as the inspector and Vardhan.
Farhan, this is not 1960 where a selected few people watched english movies. A lot of us watch them, some of us maybe more than you. If only Indian schools had a stricter punishment for plagiarism, Indians would not have to watch this crap that directors copy from hollywood movies.
Another lesson learnt, no matter how much someone pursuades you never waste another dime on a Shahrukh Khan movie.

Well I am personally not a huge fans of remakes, esp. when the original movie is a massive hit..be it don, or sholay for that matter.
Each of these movies have set a standard in their own ways..and drawing parallels between the remake and the original would certainly put the remake as a sorry one.
I believe bollywood has run out of ideas...but then again, films like dor, khosla ka ghosla, pyaar ke side effects...force me to think otherwise..
