let the haggling begin! i believe srk was a better personification of evil than amitji, and that is what don is all about - a celebration of being bad!
I totally disagree. SRK, despite his best efforts could only create a caricature of DON. He is nowhere as menacing as Amitabh was as DON though the DON character (spoiler warning) lasts for only 20 minutes in the original and lasts the entire movie in the remake. Even the Vijay character in the remake was not realistic. imagine a street singer with designer jeans and a gold strapped watch. All in all, the person who started this thread has no idea what he's talking about and is probably a huge fan of SRK.
i think the character of don in the new movie was better than the old don. that's why shahrukh as don makes a better overall impression than amitabh of the old don. also he doesn't do silly things like jumping cartwheels over 20 people, or write letters on april fools day to policemen.
doing cartwheels is not silly... its a superpower than Amitabh has and SRK doesnt... SRK's superpower is to take a bath in a tub filled with rose petals with LUX soap and look effeminate..
I agree with deepak all he knows is to spread his arms and sing romantic numbers, this person is on the scene only because of the so called fan following (of girls!) and should be kicked out of boillywood
i hope better senses prevail on farhan akhtar and he makes original movies... DCH was good... lakshya was okay... and then don is a remake of the legendary movie and even if he managed to get 0.1% of it, it wud be good enuf (but i am still not going to watch it as it has hamming srk)... i really hate this remake era of bollywood... everyone is choosing an older classic and then remaking it... most recent i have read abt remake of amar akbar anthony with khan brothers...
what was sadder is that the person claiming that SRK was better than Bachchan watched the movie twice and hasnt watched Lage Raho Munnabhai completely even once.. This shows poor judgement on his part..
there are plans to make a sequel to the new don. perhaps srk will do some cartwheels in that movie, like amitabh in the original, and satisfy all you doubters
just saw the original don again on tv yesterday - was (yaawwwn) sooooo boring. instead i switched off the tv and went to sleep listening to songs of disco dancer (d se kya hota hai? darling? deewana?disco? d se hota hai dance, i se hota hai item, etc)
