Forgettable though. (But of course not a patch on the original) What balanced Don's crookedness was Boman Irani's tough cop and then the evil Vardhaan at the end. Foolish yes but the pitting of 'equal' opposite forces is what masala or rather any strong story-telling is about so Don-1 worked simply cause of that balance. Lots was foolish too but then thats the fourth wall screen we got to wear when watching Bollysagas :) This one was appallingly foolish in every respect and I refuse to suspend my disbelief SO MUCH!<br /><br />And now dear friend, please do not reply to this and give more importance to this film! If you reply I shall be compelled to too!

(And by 'side' I mean everyone but SRK). Its plain and simple common sense that you make your hero heroic by elevating the stature of your opponent not by watering them down to minus IQs. By making Chopra, Puri, Vardhaan, Jabbar and everyone else so daft, Don just ended up looking like a juvenile delinquent to me. This, foolishness is what I hadn't expected out of Akhtar. Rest all I can forgive.
