One of the most horrible movies ever made. It manages to turn the story of a classic (the original Don (1978)) into the stupidest excuse of a movie. The action scenes are horribly directed despite impressive looking explosions. The whole twist in the end is so stupid, I just can't believe that people actually like it. In the end, we discover that Vijay who is playing the role of Don is actually the real Don! How stupid is that? How much stupider can it get? If he really was Don, he would just escape. Why carry on the charade being the villain? And Boman Irani actually being a cop who also is the mastermind of a drug cartel? I just can't believe no one stood up and threw eggs at the screen. The only thing good about this movie is the production design. But production design does not a good movie make. The original Don worked because of the central question innate in the premise of the movie. How can a simpleton convince others that he is in fact a ruthless Don and manage to stay alive when he is discovered? The new Don forgets that story and does away with the chase. The single thing that made the original Don so compelling. By the way, Farhan, please don't direct action scenes. You are completely hopeless at it. Lakshya, anyone? Stick to mushy love stories and funny one liners, dude. You are not at all a good director. Most of my countrymen who like it are just done in by the look I guess. Anyway none of the Hindi speaking audience wants a good story. All they want is stupidity and more stupidity
