so many movies, not enough keyboards..don followed dhoom2 down the drain that my head is. don pretends to be modern with a traditional outlook..something we know cannot exist. despite being non-existent, it managed to irritate me to no end. farhan akhtar seems to have tried reversing the roles of the protagonists and managed to confuse my memories of the first movie. while srk makes don feel loopy and eccentric, everyone else in the movie tries to carry off the cool,silent,brooding type and fails. to say that the second half has twists would be misleading. the first half actually had more twists and many of these were by kareena. the "twists" in the second half are more like stop signs on a really bumpy road. at least one of them is utterly unnecessary and you are given so much time while navigating the bumps that you see the others coming from a few scenes away.
considering that i remembered more of dhoom2, don now slips to first place, in the "worst movies i saw during my vacation" ranking
spoiler alert: the movie will spoil your memories of the old don

Machan review pulikesi, the best movie I have seen in a while. I suspect that I did not expect anything when I rented that... my appreciation for vadivelu comedy in general sent my expectations the movie netherlands... but the movie turns out to be rather well made, his best performance (infact might be his only)....
wifey remarks that central picture is proof enough that you are in the wrong trade/profession/business... let me see the pic that seems to suggest that taking pictures is better than making money to buy the camera....
