Don 2 Watch-O-Meter
Don 2 Movie Review by Movie Critics
Taran Adarsh (BollywoodHungama.com) 3.5/5
The film has a bland first hour, but the second half takes the film to another level
Rajeev Masand (CNN IBN) 2/5
Don 2 is spectacularly boring! the makers borrow ideas from some fine capers like Ocean’s Eleven and the Mission Impossible movies. Still what they deliver in the end is a clunky and spectacularly boring film that is neither smart nor particularly fun.
Komal Nahta (KoiMoi.com) 3.5/5
The first half, however, moves at a leisurely pace and takes a while to come to the point. It is after interval that the pace picks up but even in the post-interval part, the initial reels are too technical and get confusing for the average viewer. But the last few reels are very engrossing and the revelation of the suspense (like in the first part, Don) is the highlight. Intrigue, suspense, style and drama – the four highlights of Don – are in evidence in the sequel too.
Raja Sen (Rediff) 2.5/5
This is one man’s film, and he — like the film itself — looks really good, but ends up being a drag
Nikhat Kazmi (The Times of India) 4/5
Don 2 is a classic action/crime thriller that doesn’t let go, even for a moment. More importantly, the plot has been finely crafted, with every twist and turn falling into place like a complicated albeit neat little jigsaw.
Aniruddha Guha (DNA India) 3/5
Characters say boring, random things to each other, there’s a pointlessly long dance sequence and the attempt at dialoguebaazi is laughable. What keeps Don 2 alive, then, is its pulsating action.
Mayank Shekhar 1.5/5
The picture promises to never end. It gets hard to carry on with inane inventiveness, when you just couldn’t care less.
Piyali Dasgupta (NDTV Movies) 2.5/5
Don 2 in 3D is a waste, so don’t fret if you haven’t booked for a 3D show. In fact, don’t fret if you haven’t booked a show at all.The King is yet to return. Meanwhile since Hrithik’s cameo is the highpoint of the film and the plot does have a few interesting twists.
Martin D’Souza (Glamsham.com) 1/5
Farhan Akhtar, as we all know, has set very high standards in Bollywood. So DON 2, which has no story, dialogues which are ‘college class’ and no direction comes as a surprise.
Khalid Mohamed (Deccan Chronicle) 2/5
Shah Rukh Khan handles all the acting pyrotechnics. He’s bankable in a film that isn’t
Shubhra Gupta (Indian Express) 2.5/5
‘Don 2’ needed an energized, crackling plot. What it has, in almost too much abundance, is SRK dripping dimpled coolth. But cool can only take you so far.
