So, why is every
other so called critic in the town trashing Don 2? It is a pretty decent movie
albeit minor aberrations. In fact, I found it better than the first one. If the
same people can’t stop raving about a nonsense MI-4, I guess, they should give
Don a little due respect.
Plot:
The story starts 5
years after where it ended in the last part. Don (Shahrukh Khan) is now the
biggest drug dealer in Asia and has plans now to expand to Europe.
But to do that he has to take care of the reigning drug lords who themselves
are wary of the rising Asian King. Don plans a bank heist to meet his goals and
sets out to build his team which includes his old foe Vardhan (Boman Irani), a
computer hacker Sameer (Kunal Kapoor), a mystery woman Ayesha (Lara Dutta) and
a group of goons working under Jabbar (Nawab Shah). Meanwhile Malik (Om Puri) and Roma
(Priyanka Chopra) are still following his trail. Does he succeed in the bank
heist? Do Vardhan, Sameer and Jabbar loyally toe his line or ditch him? In all
of this, how he handles Malik and Roma and the Interpol - makes up for the rest
of the story.
Thankfully I was able to watch this movie on the large
screen, today being the last day last show at the local cinema here. I am
assuming most of you have already watched it but still here is what I think of
it.
Plot:
Janardan
Jakhar (later Jordan), inspired by Jim Morrison, seeks pain to infuse life into
his music on the advice of his friend and college canteen manager Khatanaji. In
his quest of pain he seeks to woo Heer, a dil-todne-ki-machine to fall in love
and get his heart broken. Heer who is getting married soon wants to live life
to the fullest before settling down with a rich husband. Soon enough Heer and
JJ are running around Delhi streets engaging in activities that they call
‘Gandh-Machana’.
Heer moves to Prague with her husband and JJ gets thrown out
of his house and takes refuge in ‘Hazrat Nizzamuddin’. He is spotted by Ustaad
Jameel Khan (Shammi Kapoor) a renowned classical artist and thus
his singing career gets a start. Events unfold and Heer Jordan’s paths cross several times. Heer who is JJ’s elixir of creativity also
becomes the poison of his destruction.
For Heer, Jordan is the spark of life and yet the very flame that
consumes her.
