Movie review

From Time Out London

Bolly-sequels usually suck, but this ain't no tikka turkey. Ageing superhero Shah Rukh 'King' Khan proves he cannot be written off just yet as the lead in this stylish and enjoyable thriller. Each crash, boom, bang and witty one-liner may have echoes of ‘007’ or ‘Bourne’ but this new ‘Don’ has an Indian heart. We follow Interpol babe Roma (Priyanka Chopra) as she races against time to defeat her nemesis. It's a slick journey across Thailand, Malaysia, Switzerland and Germany which even manages to refer to the current Euro crisis. As our evil hero says, Indians really do 'get everywhere'. Festive fun!

    Posted on Dec 27 2011 07:37 Don2 is a piece of crap. Saw Singham and Don 2 on same day. Singham - 4 Stars, Don2 - 2 Stars. SRK and Farhan are lucky that this stupid film is recovering it's costs.

    Posted on Dec 25 2011 11:16 saw Don 2 and MI4 back to back (in that order) and wow what a day...Don 2 kicks ass and MI4 kicks it back into shape! Replace Shah Rukh Khan with Tom Cruise and you could be forgiven for not being sure which screen you've walked into!!
