DON gets my NOD

As the names appeared on the screen DON kicked off with its sensational background track and i relaxed back in my seat to watch the new inspired version of this highly acclaimed 70'z movie..For the first few minutes I had to orient myself to the new settings and but soon the movie catches pace..With its high tech gizmo gadgets and flashy dialogues and foot-tapping music ,the movie catches ur attention and the plot keeps u interested throughout..
The most laudable part about the story is that even when most of us know the original one still this movie catches ur eye more often than not..
This is actually one of the very few times that Mr Sharukh Khan's attitude really matches up with the aggression the movie demands...The three Goddesses paired along side him look divine and sensual in the plot..The twist in the tale is amazing and ingenious.The movie has its own flaws and deficits but they surely donot outnumber its merits..All in all it is definately an adrenaline booster and Farhan Akhtar surely deserves acclaimation and DON gets my nod..

Hi Omu,
I watched d movie n appreciated it too.
Re-making an old movie into a new one in d larger sense is similar to making a remix song out of an old song.Similar to d way they mix n match,trance,industrial,techno, urban,pyschedilic etc wid d old song to try re-create somethin new-age 4 modern markets.
But makin it a good mix is wat wins d battle, n I guess DON has done exactly d same.
Cheers
