DON-e-Mat

If you didnt figure out from the title of this blog that you should avoid going to Don at all costs, let me make a Re-DON-dent statement. The Re-make of DON has definitely put a dent in Farhan Akhtar's career as a director. If Dil Chahta Hai was the dawn (pun intended, duh!) of a new era, then DON is definitely the dusk of that era. If Lakshya was about finding oneself 20000 feet above ground level, DON is about losing himself 20000 feet below the rock bottom of the sea bed. Maybe the young director would be better off as Farhan Actor from now on. I used to admire Farhan Akhtar, until DON and I continue to hate SRK. The movie is non-Rukh Khan. To make it worse, its times 2, sometimes in the same frame! Let me not sound all negative. The 'Khaike paan banaraswala' song is simply amazing and the production is very slick! Now, the negatives
-> Kareena simply has no Charisma. I dont like comparisons even though its a remake. But, does she thinks she can pull a Helen? Hell,no!
-> Boman Irani thinks he is Boman Armani. No chase is impossible for him in a fine suit and tie
-> Isha Koppikar looks like Isha, the Kuppaikari (Translation for non-sambars: Isha,, the garbagewali)
-> Don can do a skydive with no pro equipment and steer himself better than Schumacher. Jo g mein aaya wo kar deta hain!

Anyways, its a very don-ting task to sit through the movie. Don ko pasand karna mushkil hi nahi, naa mumkin hain! CON would be a more appropriate name for the movie. There better not be a " Don - The chase begins all over again" anytime soon

Alright, alright, alright...I havent forgotten that this is a site dedicated for PJs. So, here are a few PJ Qs inspired by the movie

1. Who is Don's mom?

2. Who is Don's dad? ( You need to think like a Tam or a Londoner to get this)

3. What is Don's password?

4. Whats Don's favorite city?

5. What would be Don's name if he were a fashion designer?

6. What is Don's hiding place?

7. What would you call an ignorant Don?

8. What does Don have for breakfast?
