Scraps Stuffs - Random musings from apun ka desh

Watched Don recently. The new one. A good effort by Farhan Akhtar, handicapped, as he would have been, by thoughts of the inevitable comparison with the old one.

The new Don is slicker, more suave and more effeminate that the old one. AB was raw magnetism personified, SRK is merely the metrosexual. AB was far more menacing than SRK. But the new movies looks much better and the two twists make the story more interesting and leave open the possibility of a sequel although Farhan denies it.

I was impressed by Priyanka, she performed very competently. Boman Irani was good as well, but he's really in his element in comic roles, not serious ones like this. Om Puri was wasted and Kareena will never be a patch on Helen who is the best dancer (by far) to have ever graced the Indian screen.

Good timepass as we like to say.
