Don - A review

We watched a movie after a long time on Saturday - "Don", at PVR, Mulund. I like watching movies at PVR - fancy interiors, comfortable relaxing chairs, and excellent pricing at Rs. 70 for a morning show!

I enjoyed the movie - it was fast paced, and entertaining. I have not seen the Amitabh Bachchan starrer, but couldn't help wondering that Shah Rukh is not a patch on Amitabh, at least in this role. Shah Rukh Khan just does not have the screen presence required of the role. Though he did manage to redeem himself at the climax with his unbelievable intensity.

Kareena was another, who just could not pull off the role. She does not have a great figure, nor is she a good dancer. Boman Irani was good in a typical role. But the actor who really shone was Priyanka Chopra. With a stunning figure, she exuded screen presence. It is not easy to outshine King Khan, but Priyanka managed it effortlessly. Not for nothing was she voted Style Diva by eBay Indias' community of users.

The music was excellent, as one has come to expect from Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy. They have taken the old tunes, and given them a contemporary feel, without taking away the original melodies.

Slick direction and editing rounded up this good entertainer. Farhan Akhtar has made a successful comeback after the not so successful "Lakshya".
