PodBill Just what I expected

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

movie fan Good plot wasted by poor direction.The movie had a good plot or an okay twist but the direction, script & editing spoiled it. Some stupid cliché scenes. Most of the actors were acting as if they were tired & sleepy. Some even tried to overact too much. The movie was dragged too much & have lots of loop holes.It also plays with your patience unnecessarily. The jokes are just terrible it doesn't even bring a smile on your face. The climax of the film & few scenes with srk as a don are good compared to the other scenes.Some fight sequences are okay are some are just bad. overacted at some parts. Its better if you re-watch the original don again rather than wasting time on it.

nikkimeesala I have to admit that I was extremely skeptical at first. Most Indian action movies are Hollywood wannabes, in my opinion. However, I was glad I saw the movie. I was excited to see an Indian action film for once. The stunts and fighting was practical and legit. The story was actually good and acting brilliantly plaid. SRK did such a good job at his roles that I didn't even see the end coming. He was so much better than Johnny Depp in the Tourist. I have so much respect for SRK now that I saw this movie. It lived up to the name of an action movie. I sincerely hope Bollywood continues to collaborate and creates quality and legit action movies like this one. Well done India. Well done.

Sonia !belhaj Honestly, this movie has everything: good music, action, great actors, great direction.You can't compare this with the original: it's not the same movie, not the same actors, not even the same plot. Even the songs are different, though it sounds like the same tune. SRK is one thing and Amit-ji another: Shah Rukh is the Baadshah and Big B a legend.The makers completely changed the crappy old story of 1978 Don into a new action movie, and not a bad 'cliché' one like Krrish. THis movie beats MI/MI2/MI3 by far! Because it's got both good action and good actors, that make it look credible.SRK is THE best and it shows, Priyanka rocks, Boman Irani is good and so is Om Puri. There are good entertaining songs like 'Yeh Mera Dil' (way better than the original), 'Khaike Paan Banaraswala' (same), 'Morya Re',... Even the theme is nice! Can't wait for Don 2!!!

Ibuk I was initially sceptical about Don being remade because the original Don is one of my favourite Amitabh movies and was even more sceptical when I found out that son of Javed Akthar, Farhan Akthar was going to direct it. I was however pleasantly surprised, though not quite as good as the original but considering that most remakes are terrible it was decent entertainment. There are however some quite serious flaws. One of Farhan Akthar direction, his movies are known to be slow and stately paced, for instance Dil Chata Hai. Unfortunately Farhan Akthar brought that same slow stately pace to Don, which considering Don is meant to be a fast paced action thriller can be a huge flaw. Another flaw is that the original Don had an element of surprise and since this is a remake the element of surprise disappears because I already know that the policeman(In the original played by Om Shivpuri, in the remake played by Boman Irani)will be the head of the criminals. Thankfully it is not a complete disaster, Shah Rukh Khan almost saves the movie singlehandedly. His rendition of Khaike Pan Banaraswala could have fallen flat on its face but instead is a success. Another saving grace is the twist ending, which was not in the original that had me reeling from the shock days later. As far as remakes come, you could do a whole lot worse than Don.
