I don’t think Remaking an iconic film such as Don, is a good idea. Twenty-eight years after Chandra Barot’s hit movie with Amitabh Bachchan in the role of Don, Farhan Akhtar comes up with a sleek and stylish tribute to the original. This ‘ Don ’ is certainly bigger and bombastic. Whether it is better, is debatable.

Shahrukh Khan doesn’t match up to Amitabch Bachchan’s versatile performance in the movie Don. But yes, it’s great to see SRK enacting a negative character after a long time.

The story of new movie ‘ Don ’ is set in the cityscape of Kuala Lumpur, Paris and India. The Don in the film operates on an international level. Don uses state-of-the-art technology, fights like a martial arts expert and has a zany taste in fashion. He is like an Indian James Bond, but obviously on the wrong side of law.

Kareena Kapoor sizzles in the ‘Yeh Mera Dil’ number in Helen’s place. She looks gorgeous alright.

Priyanka Chopra’s Roma is a tough chick who would do anything to avenge her brother Ramesh’s death from the evil Don. Chopra girl seems to have worked hard on learning the Charlie’s Angels martial-arts-chops and the effect shows. When she is not hunting with the men, she takes time out to scorch the dance floors with her ‘ Aaj Ki Raat ’ shake-a-leg number.

A lean-mean-and-gym-toned physique makes Shah Rukh Khan ' Don ' look a hunky dude that you’d love to watch. In fact, I would love to watch him in this ' Don ' avatar as compared with all the sugary-romances that he has been doing.

‘Don’ is worth a watch for the younger remix-n-sms generation. The movie stays loyal to the plot of the original. But it improvises on the treatment of the story through stylish cinematography, crisp editing, innovative direction, high-octane stunts and special effects.
