Don 2 Movie Review

Don 2 (Hindi)

Release Date:
December 23, 2011

In 2006 with the ever looming dangers of the underworld in Malaysia, Don broke the morale of his associates by infiltrating the gang with an alias and taking advantage of the enmity of Singhania & Vardhaan. He rose to become the undisputed King of the underworld with his shrewd mind and merciless tactics.

The police in their pursuit of Don unknowingly hired the very man they were trying to hunt. Don used this to his advantage and let the police and his former associates battle each other while he escaped much to the bewilderment of everyone leaving no traces of evidence of his whereabouts.

Having conquered the Asian underworld, Don (Khan) now has his sights set on European domination. In his way are the bosses of the existing European underworld and all law enforcement agencies.

The action shifts from Kuala Lumpur to Berlin as Don must avoid assassination or arrest, whichever comes first, in order for his plan to succeed.

The depressingly underwhelming (and numbingly long) Don 2 is less about Farhan Akhtar’s commitment to plot and character than hairstyling and haberdashery

The Hindu

Don 2 is nicely shot, and there are moments where Shah Rukh Khan is riveting. But that's not enough to hold your interest for well over two hours

Don 2 needed an energized, crackling plot. What it has, in almost too much abundance, is SRK dripping dimpled coolth. But cool can only take you so far

Indian Express

Take scenes and shots from MI and the Ocean series, put SRK's face on and you've seen it all before. Unoriginal and tension-free

Mumbai Mirror

Visual sophistication and dazzling production value aside, the Don sequel is shallow in story and performance

Characters say boring, random things to each other, there’s a pointlessly long dance sequence and the attempt at dialoguebaazi is laughable. What keeps Don 2 alive, then, is its pulsating action

This is one man's film, and he -- like the film itself -- looks really good, but ends up being a drag

Rediff

This is the kind of film-making that urges you to watch and forget

India Today

With a self-obsessed and boastful lead character, hackneyed plot on a heist and faulty execution Don 2 fails to please the Don fans!

nowrunning

For a suspense thriller, Don 2 has no edge-of-the-seat moments. For an action film with the central plot setting us up for a robbery inside a major bank, the film's pacing is very slow

The film has a bland first hour, but the second half takes the film to another level

BollywoodHungama

Don 2 is a classic action/crime thriller that doesn't let go, even for a moment. More importantly, the plot has been finely crafted, with every twist and turn falling into place like a complicated albeit neat little jigsaw
