What critics compared Don 2 to
Sure, Hollywood still leads the way in special-effects-heavy spectacles like Avatar, Transformers and the endless spate of comic-book movies, from Iron Man to Superman (although Bollywood is steadily making inroads into the latter arena too with films like Krrsh and RA.One , which also stars Don’s leading man—and one of the biggest names in Indian movies—Shah Rukh Khan), but Don 2 is just as glossy and enjoyably preposterous as such recent action-franchise entries as Fast Five and Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol.
While a sequel to his 2006 global action hit, Farhan Akhtar's Don 2 is really the first film to truly reflect what an ongoing Don film series would look like should it continue.
If Shah Rukh Khan 's over-zealous turn as a camp superhero in Ra.One prompted you to declare a ban on anything that involved Khan, a high-speed chase and some very suspect styling, Don 2 will go some considerable way to erasing the memory of the $50 million (£32 million) debacle of a film and restoring Khan's superstar sheen, as he redeems himself as the don of the Asian underworld in this classic action/crime thriller.
