DON 2 - Booom!!!

SRK and Farhan Akhthar have gravely disappointed an ardent fan, of both Mr. Khan and Don!!!

The much awaited sequel to the block buster DON let me down terribly. Neither the story line nor the songs are worth the wait. Don could have done much better than basking in the glory of the old tracks and the old punchline! I was expecting much heavier dialogues and breath catching suspense!! 
The makers have completely forgotten the lineage of the movie.

SRK s looks are pathetic and his attempts to deliver the punch in the dialogues are quiet evident. I thought the makers of the movie were trying to give the Indian answer to Hollywood!!! And what do I get to watch, a  few sequences from MI2? 

Dejavu... 

SRK appeared to be falling back on his romantic track!! Don and romantic, I would'nt want that, that's not the genre of the movie, yaar!!! 
Dilwale Don Officer Dulhaniya Le jayenge. 

And what does the Don do when he is not prison-breaking or fighting thugs,  give that smirking smile!!!! 
The entire movie is laced with the smile. I would have loved to see SRK smile like that wickedly had the plot been equally impressive. 
Seriously, the movie could have done much better than promoting SRK's brands. The director of course tried Hollywood style film making except that he forgot James Bond movies only give a glimpse of the Omega watches. Here, every time someone checks the time(and they did that quite frequently), Tag heur came up. And was there no other car available, that too in Germany!!!! Hyundai???? Definitely business!!!!

Look at the way Don has fallen!!! He has no good dushman either!! All he is doing is fighting local goons and the police!! When I saw the first shot of the European drug cartel meetings, my expectations were sky rocketing. Later when Don made his entry in the uncivilized looks, I kept consoling myself,hoping for a better tomorrow!!! Only the hope remained!!! 

The only thing good about the movie was it's beautiful locations and picturisations, otherwise there is nothing new. Ofcourse the Don k dushaman punchline and the Don track were good. So was the last sequence where Don sets of the explosion with his watch!! But there is nothing new in them!! I have already seen them. 

Hope SRK gives at least half the attention to his career as he gives to his business!!!! 

Having said all this,  my favorite shot in the movie is the last one where Don rides his bike over the bridge!!!
