Shahrukh Khan’s Don 2 is getting good reviews from the Tamil audience with the release of its dubbed version. The film is filled with loads of stunning actions, exotic locations (around Thailand, Malaysia, Zurich, Berlin) and breathtaking visuals making the viewer to forget that it is a Bollywood film. Don 2 is equal to Hollywood action films with full of suspense and twists. Even the dubbing is well executed. Check out the Tamil Movie Review – Don 2.Story
The specialty is how Shahrukh khan portrayed in the character of the Don. The actor interprets him as an arrogant, agile, wicked and wild dare-devil who has the most bizarre schemes up his sleeves. In Hindi, where in part 1 the Don is left to be survived; now he is seen in Thailand. From there he creates some rifts and then later was put up with his old mates in the Malaysian prison.

What keeps Don 2 alive, then, is its pulsating action. It helps the pace quicken as the film progresses, including a thrilling chase sequence and a wonderfully choreographed-and-shot pre-climax sequence. Cinematographer Jason West (Rock On) and stunt director Matthias Barsch enthuse life into proceedings, ensuring that action junkies get their fill.
The film, however, is nothing more than an attempt to cash in; to set opening weekend records. And to provide a vehicle for its lead star to dazzle (so much so, every other actor seems inconsequential). Thankfully, Shah Rukh Khan is in form. The body language is cocky, the attitude flamboyant, and the smirk consistent. In a full-fledged action role, Khan goes the whole hog, pulling off the stunts with panache. Only for him, Don 2 is pretty enjoyable.
Performance:
Action is the other alluring selling point of Farhan Akhtar’s film. The chases, the fights, the demolition, destruction, break-ins, escapes have all been done with a finesse that rivals the best of Hollywood. Watch the car chase between Priyanka and Shahrukh and you’ll get the point. It’s not only high voltage that drips with passion which makes it seem almost like foreplay. The other notable sequences include the heist, the escape and Shahrukh’s larger-than-life leap from a high-rise while his assassin wrings his hands in dismay.

Analysis
The film does lack a bit on the emotional quotient and human relationships are hardly given a chance to grow. But just when you think it’s all sound and fury, there’s a sensuous tango between Roma and the Don as the cop opts to help the gangster she once loved and the gangster is determined to save his junglee billi (wild cat), any which way. A word about the dialogues: brilliant. A word about the music: mediocre (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy).
