Review : I seriously had a lot of expectations from this flick for three reasons – SRK, Farhan Akhtar and Don. The previews were very promising as well so I was very eager to watch it. Finally got a chance to watch it in 3D today.

I don’t know where to start. The movie stands firm on the expectations and sets a new bar for the upcoming action flicks of Bollywood. It’s slick and stylish as I had thought. Farhan has done a great job in extending the empire of Don through this sequel. He is always good at direction, that’s what I feel. But who pumped up the whole movie? It’s SRK simply. He is looking stunning in his Don avatar and even better than the first. There are no comparisons left now as this one is totally different from the former. The new Don is darker, more evil and wicked. He has delivered a fantabulous performance. Coming to the acts of others, umm well I guess SRK steals the show. I could not notice anyone else. Lara is looking hot though and Priyanka is fine in her place. Boman Irani is as usual good. There is a cameo in the movie which I would not like to disclose.

The action sequences give you an adrenaline rush. The cinematography is great and the best part is the shooting in Berlin. I can easily call it the best action movie of Bollywood. It leaves behind the most appreciated action movies including Dhoom series, Race, Krrish etc. It is an intelligent thriller which will keep you engaged always. The dialogues are fabulous. There are few hints of humor as well which relieves at proper moments. The fx of the movie is a treat topping.

The best part is subplots and continuity of surprises. It will continue to surprise you with the well written script. Talking about 3D, the effects are nice. You really can’t expect a lot from stereo 3D movies but its way better than even Hollywood movies like Harry Potter which provided nothing. Music is nice and score is good as well. There is no moment of boredom despite of a big runtime. The movie is surprisingly a top notch action-thriller delivered by Bollywood.

Final Verdict : Not a SRK fan? You will still love this movie believe me. SRK fan? What are you waiting for? Watch out for the surprises. I would like to give a +1 just for SRK’s performance. And yeah one important thing, it’s disgusting if you praise movies like MI:4 and you think that Don 2 was poor (Pointing at all the –ve reviewers)
