Don

I loved this movie! I feel SRK has done a great job. And I loved the changes from the original don that farhan has incorporated. I would not like to give out any spoilers about that, would just say that it's totally worth the ticket price, I am even planning to watch it a second time.

I have seen a number of reviews saying that the original don was a classic, and that farhan should not have tampered with a classic. They are all talking crap. Does anyone even remember the last one-third of the original don? It is replete with silly incidents like amitabh doing umpteen cartwheels to single-handedly beat up about 20 people who are there just to surprise him. Then there's the silly april-fool incident where the fake interpol agent uses that to reassure his fellow police officer that he's innocent. The new don in fact picks up pace towards the end and is easily a much better movie overall.

One place where the old don was better was the khaike banaras wala song. The new one is not a patch on that. However all the other songs are equal or better. The audio CD is worth buying, with the remix versions of main hoon don being the best.

All in all, the new don is a classic and fixes many of the flaws in the original don. Don't miss it!
