:bluejump: :boo: :redjump:
Saw the movie.
I should say one thing that this SRK movie is better than KANK.
But again, even this movie is not impressive. Too predictable.Technically good but Billa was way better.
Here in Bangalore, the response for the movie isn't good. Today for an afternoon show the theatre was just 50-60% full. This is unusual for an hindi film because hindi films do better in Bangalore.
Mad, hot and... Khan, the film has everything
27 October 2006
http://www.kilburntimes.co.uk/conten...A33%3A15%3A600
The thrills come mad, hot and wicked sweet in Don, the movie to beat this winter in the race to push your pulse rate past the danger zone. And please don't ask if the plot makes sense.
It does, and it did the last time too with Mr Bachchan in it. But here's what counts: ShahRukh Khan is back and surprisingly from the first scene of the film he takes it to the limit - running, jumping, punching and kicking with an intensity that could cut steel.
You should also know that it was a welcome break to see Khan in an all action film rather than him sitting on a park bench next to the beautiful actress and sobbing. Having said that, the true star of Don is director Farhan Akhtar. He takes to feature directing like the tabloids take to Khan. He's all over it. This is one director who does more than keep the actors from bumping into each other as they wear disguises and play dare-devils. Going way beyond the call of action flick duty, Farhan Akhtar gives each character moments that resonate.
The year is 2006. The drug trade is booming. Trafficking between Asia and Europe is at an all time high.
It is at this time that the Malaysian intelligence and anti-narcotic department are called upon for assistance by their Indian counterparts. The cartel is based in Kuala Lumpur headed by the dreaded Singhania, but what many people do not know, is that the business is truly managed by his trusted lieutenant Don (ShahRukh Khan).
A man who lives life on the edge, Don is constantly expanding the size of his empire while evading arrest or death at the hands of his enemies, both within and outside the law.
Fearless, cunning and ruthless, he is unstoppable in his pursuit of absolute power. Not once, not twice but several times the slick Don reminds the audience that he cannot be caught and that one line - Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hain is the benchmark of the film. His chief pursuer is DCP DeSilva (Boman Irani).
He is a man who has sworn to put an end to this nexus of evil and knows that in capturing Don lies the key to unlock the puzzle. And one day, he succeeds. Don is captured and DeSilva puts his plan into action. That's when the actual pace of the film starts or should I say - the chase begins?
Unknown to even his own department, Desilva has recruited and trained a man who is a spitting image of Don. His name is Vijay (ShahRukh Khan again!). Vijay infiltrates the cartel and manages to give DeSilva all the information he needs to bring it down. But in a bizarre twist of fate, DeSilva is killed and the secret that Don is in fact, Vijay, a police informer, is buried with him.
Then, Vijay is captured and immediately in the next couple of scenes he escapes, not from the prison, but from the aircraft, and that's where the biggest flaw of the film comes. Agreed that DeSilva taught Vijay to dress, walk, talk and kill like the original Don. But did he actually teach him skydiving?
Vijay is now on the lookout for the one last piece of evidence that can get him out from this mess. Helping him on this quest are two people. Roma (Priyanka Chopra) and Jasjit (Arjun Rampal). What happens next will take you by surprise. So, go and catch...oops! Watch Don.
Don is loaded with fancy gadgetry and intimidating jargon but its most amusing conceit is Don's occasional habit of hiding behind an actual mask of another character. Didn't get it? You will once you see the film.
For ShahRukh Khan, the Don, each new challenge has the urgency of a do or die initiation rite into the next level of manhood. Sexy without being sexual, he doesn't know the meaning of the word 'relaxation'. He is too busy proving himself as a master technician in the game of life to take time out for a leisure and pleasure.
On the rare occasions that he does sidle up to Kamini (Kareena Kapoor), love becomes yet another dutiful test of skill executed with grace under pressure. Don is so thoroughly dominated by its star cast that its subsidiary characters like Om Puri and Isha Koppikar register only fleetingly.
One exception is Narang (Pawan Malhotra). The story certainly has enough twists and surprises to keep audiences guessing until the last minute. The music is not the typical Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy type but the one which stands out in lyrics, choreography and cinematography is the title track Don.
Boman is brilliant, Arjun gets a little scope, Priyanka looks and acts strong. Don cannily hoards its flashiest action - adventure moments until the very end, then unleashes them in a delirious rush that is brief but still worth the wait. ShahRukh Khan and Don are definitely incomparable and catapults you into the wildest movie ride of the year.
RATING: ****

Don makes waves at the box office

Sunday, October 29, 2006: (Mumbai):
Farhaan Akhtar's much awaited remake of Don has stormed the box office.
Though the film may have got mixed reviews the cash registers just haven't stopped ringing.
"Being a critic of Don is not only difficult but impossible," said Shahrukh Khan.
That was badshah Khan's way of telling his critics to lay off.
However, well or poorly they might have reviewed the film, audiences across the world are lapping up Shah Rukh's latest avtaar as the gizmo, savy, suave, marfioso. Overseas collections have been tremendous.
"The response has been tremendous. We've grossed a total Rs 75 crores worldwide, which is phenomenal. Right from small towns in Bihar to cities in New York, the distributors have made their money," said Ritesh Sidhwani, Producer.
"In London, we got 840,000 pounds, Dubai 3.2 million Dirhams and highest in Australia. Total overseas collection is Rs 18 crores," he added.
There's good news after the phenomenal worldwide response, a Los Angeles production house has now offered to buy the rights to the movie for a Hollywood remake.
"We have been approached by a well renowned LA production house who wants to buy the rights of the film to make Don in English, a Hollywood version. I am quite excited and looking forward to the deal," said Sidhwani.
And though critics have been lukewarm at best Sidhwani is quick to retaliate.
"It's extremely unfare on part of the critics to write such reviews they've gone to the extent of advising the public not to watch the film which is shocking. They have no right to do so," said Sidhwani.
So for the moment it looks like nobody can beat Don.

As always for any Shahrukh movie, no matter how much ppl LOVE to HATE it and CRITICIZE it, somehow it ends up becoming the BLOCKBUSTER no matter what !!!
:notworthy: :smokesmirk: :smokesmile: :bluejump: :boo: :redjump:
I watched Don it was very plastic compared to the older version. They've slashed the money and changed locations but really a
poor attempt. I hope this would encourage producers not to fiddle with old classics and if they cannot think of a new storyline they can very well pack the bags.
These days the hype created by the movie carries it and reap the investment in the first 20 days are so. Hindi movies are like that and Don is no exception.
http://content.msn.co.in/Entertainment/Bollywood/Bollywood_Glamsham_301006_1217.htm
Post Eid celebrations, ‘Jaan-e-Mann’ has been playing to packed cinemas globally, with Dubai showing a 100 per cent jump at the ticket window and Jodhpur a 130 per cent jump.
Traditionally, in the UK, the seventh day of a film's release is likely to be the lowest grossing day.
However, in the case of ‘Jaan-E-Mann’ the film grossed approximately £ 35,000, in just two days. This phenomenon is rarely seen in the UK, and highlights an anomalous, yet positive trend.
Pranab Kapadia, the Business Head of Adlabs, the UK distributor of ‘Jaan-E-Mann,’ attributes the success of the film to its 'feel-good-factor' storyline.
‘Jaan-E-Mann’s figures have picked up dramatically in Britain. Although the film grossed a mere £ 18,000 on its opening day, the film has experienced a remarkable upswing, grossing £ 40,000 on
Monday and £ 60,000 on Tuesday. The audience and critics reception has been overwhelming."
‘Jaan-E-Mann’ is a musical, which has broken the mould of a conventional Hindi film with its innovative, out of the box approach to storytelling.
On the surface, it appears to be a conventional love triangle between Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta. We all know how it goes: two boys meet a girl and fall in love with her, and in the end, one of them goes home empty-handed.
However, the tongue-in-cheek humour, the situations, and the inventive way of incorporating little Bollywood quirks we take for granted, has made ‘Jaan-E-Mann’ an extremely enjoyable film and has won it rave reviews internationally.
Everyone who has seen the film is unanimous that ‘Jaan-E-Mann’ is a visual treat, with the story told in an unusual manner. Each facet of the film, be it the backing of an organisation like Adlabs, or the fact that enterprising producer Sajid Nadiadwala is at the helm, or that ‘Jaan-E-Mann’ stars the solid trio of Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta or that the film is directed by editor turned director Shirish Kunder, makes it a front runner.
Jaane mann was good :D
Akshay was :noteeth:
How about the songs in jaan-e-mann???
Typically Anu Malik :cool:
Not as good as a Baazigar
Musics as good as Main Hoon Na :razz:
The director is farah Khans hubby rite :roll:

So how different is the new DON ? Is it just a remixed version of the old Don ? The stars are new but what about the story..
According to reports, Don is a refreshingly new approach to the older storyline. The original story has been rehashed into newer locales and circumstances with a contemporary theme. And the story has a twist .. which will shock and surprise all viewers.
Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don’ stars Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Rampal and Issha Koppikar. According to reports, the movie has already been screened to a list of big celebrities including the Bachchan family and Sachin Tendulkar on Monday. The original Don, Amitabh Bachchan and the new Don, Shahrukh Khan watched the screening together. And the initial reaction has been overwhelming !!
:yes: :cool2: :smokesmirk:
Don leads the way while Jaanemann follows
http://www.bollywoodmantra.com/1371_...n-follows.html
Both the films released with a bang during the Diwali/Eid week and while Don took off at break neck pace, Jaanemann followed at a slightly slower pace. However while the critics may have given SRK’s Don a medium response, overseas the SRK starrer seems to be doing great. Just a week into the film and the overseas collections are hitting an all time high with Don. In fact it is being said that the first week collections of Don may make it one of the top three grosser’s in Hindi Cinema Overseas. However as for Jaanemann, the film began to slowly and surely rise post the Eid period.
According to sources in the UK, Don’s collection for the first week has been a little more than USD 1 million which is the highest ever Diwali opening for any film, in the US the film had made an approximate of USD 1.2 million. And in the Gulf countries the collection for Don is 3.45 million Dirham again the highest for a Hindi film ever. Finally even in Australia and South Africa, Don film collections were pegged as the highest record for a Hindi film.
So the verdict of Don overseas has been phenomenal. SRK’s NRI popularity has always been great and one of the highest as compared to any other bollywood hero, but this time what clinched the deal were the Diwali/Eid celebrations which lifted the collections up further. The final figure that Don has managed to make overseas is an amazing 75 crores. Shahrukh also recently launched Don’s mobile game which is India's first ever Multiplayer Online game along with Hungama Mobile and Excel Entertainment. The gaming portal www.gaminghungama.com can be visited by one and all.
Salman’s Jaanemann has not received favourable responses from media critics; nonetheless it is the box-office collections which give the best results. The film began with a very mediocre response but post Eid celebrations the film has picked up tremendously. A large section of the actors fans were following the fasting ritual where they abstain from watching films etc and also on Eid and a day later people generally prefer to spend time bonding with the family rather than catching up on a movie. But now with Jaanemann in its second week, the film is gradually picking up and showing a steady climb. The advance bookings for the second week are full and the film is safely making it to the hit status. Salman Khan is no doubt the USP of the film; the songs too are catching on with audiences.
So while Don can be called the clear winner in terms of box-office success, Jaanemann too is definitely a hit with the masses in India.

The major drawback of this movie is the story predictable except for one or two characters(I dont want to reveal the char) and the last 20 mins :thumbsups: .
SRK has done a decent job as don :thumbsup: .
Some dialogues are used from the original don. The BGM ,except for last 15 mins , is a complete let down :(

Don sustains pretty well in second week. The film which was on the lower side in Delhi/UP in the first week has done extremely well there in the second week. Overall the film is a Hit in every circuit of India with a couple of circuits heading for Superhit status. The second week business is around the 12-13 crore mark. West Bengal and Mysore are extraordinary.
