It was a fantastic movie. I loved the music and dancing. There is action, guns, romance, violence, some smoking( very little). Some Hindi-Language during the singing but the is English subtitles. Well worth the watch at 2 hours & 48 minutes on Netflix.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

সিনেমা হলো মানুষের বিনোদন প্রবৃত্তির সবচেয়ে শক্তিশালী অংশ।বরাবর নির্জন মুহূর্তগুলো ভরিয়ে দেয়।হয়ে উঠে দেশীয় সংস্কৃতির উজ্জ্বল উদাহরণ।চিত্তাকর্ষক সংবেদন দেওয়ার জন‍্য যেটি দায়ী।যেটি হতে হয় সৃষ্টিশীল, স্ক্রিপ্টনির্ভর- পারিপার্শ্বিকের সাথে সঙ্গতিপূর্ণ।একটা বিষয়ে আসা যাক।ধরুণ আপনার ডিজিটাল ক‍্যামেরায় উচ্চ রেজ‍্যুলেশন নেই।এটাকে হতে হয় বর্তমান সময়ের চেয়ে আধুনিক- বেশি করে বললে আরো আধুনিক।হলিউডের মুভিগুলো বিশ্বসেরা তেমনি সত‍্যজিৎ রায় যেমন মোহনীয়।এদিক থেকে বাংলাদেশ-কোলকাতা অনেক পিছিয়ে আছে। সিনেমা হলো ভালোলাগার-ভালোবাসার আবেগী বহিঃপ্রকাশ।সহজাতভাবে আসে; হৃদয়ে শক্তিশালী প্রভাব ফেলে।মানুষকে মানুষ হিশেবে চিনতে শেখায়-ভাবতে শেখায়।হয়তো গল্প নেই-হয়তো ঘটনা নেই কিন্তু মানসিক ও শারীরিক প্রভাব ফেলে।তেমনি কোনো কোনো সিনেমার হঠাৎ ইতি ঘটে; বিস্ময়াবিভূত হয় দর্শক।যদিও তা চিরস্থায়ী প্রভাব ফেলে।বিশ্বস্ত দর্পণ সাহিত‍্যের ভূমিকা যেমন আছে তা দিয়েই সিনেমা বানাতে হয়।কেননা মানুষের ব‍্যক্তিজীবনে সাহিত‍্যের গুরুত্ব আছে।সাহিত‍্যমুখী ঐতিহাসিক ভূমিকার সিনেমাগুলো বানানোর দিকে নজর দিন।

I watched this movie becuase I am a fan of Shah Rukh Khan. Although the script is VERY over used (in American as well) it was still an entertaining watch, although the movie could have been 45 minutes shorter & a few of the plot points were just absurd.

I think there is a mindlessly entertaining movie trapped inside the 2006 version of "Don." Having never seen the well-known original, I didn't really have any expectations for this movie. I thought some of the action scenes were okay and the premise could have been more fun, had it been executed better. I felt the story has way too much going on and the movie never gave me a reason to care. I've always liked Shah Rukh Khan, but I feel like he doesn't do anything exceptional here. I will say the movie has a good soundtrack, but that's almost a given with most Bollywood movies. When the musical numbers are some of the best parts of an action movie, something must be wrong with the story.

I've watched this movie a few times now and every time it has gotten better. Shah Rukh Khan's performance is magnificent.

The sophisticated sheen of Farhan robs it of its inherently clunky charm.

I did enjoy some aspects, such as the great songs, but overall the new DON feels more generic and lifeless than the original.

Working to keep the home audience interested in a story it knows by heart, Akhtar adds so many additional betrayals and secret identities to an already far-fetched plot that the real world becomes a distant memory, and happily so.
