A preview of DON

Farhan Akhtar’s Don is keenly awaited by all to see whether the magic of original Don is revived yet again. The remake of this old classic has a huge star cast comprising Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Rampal, Isha Kopikkar, Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani.

Despite of being a remake of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer DON (1978), we hear Farhan’s DON is quite different in terms of the look, mood and setting, though the essence of the movie is the same. Kareena will sizzle to the tunes of ‘Yeh mera dil’ (done by Helen in the original) and the song ‘Khaike Paan Banaras Wala’ which is sung by Shahrukh and Udit Narayan, is definitely something to look forward to, since Saroj Khan has remade it in a different style.

Based on the same lines of the old Don, the sylishly crafted DON is set in contemporary times, featuring Shah Rukh in a double role paired opposite the hot and sexy Priyanka Chopra for the first time.

A huge Indian contingent embarks on a dangerous cat-mouse trail of capturing DON (Shah Rukh Khan) – the ruthless drug mafia in Malaysia. When DON gets seriously injured in a police encounter, the news that he is dead begins to do the rounds. The reality, of course, is that DON is held captive in a secret location, while his look-alike, Vijay, is polished and sent to take on DON’s gang.

In a bizarre twist of fate, when the man shielding the humble and innocent Vijay, is killed, the latter comes to terms with the horrifying realization that both the police and the gang are out to nab him for different reasons.

He makes a desperate attempt to prove his innocence, and in this, he is helped by the glamorous Roma (Priyanka Chopra), and Jasjit (Arjun Rampal), who owes Vijay a favor for care-taking his son during his imprisonment. But will Vijay be successful in his mission, remains to be seen.

This may be one of the most defining performances of Shahrukh’s career, because he is bound to be compared with Amitabh Bachchan. DON is a high-octane, tension-filled, twisty thriller with just the right dose of glamour, action, suspense and romance.

Don releases on 20th October. There is lots of excitement in store for the audiences this Diwali.
