Don for the Masses........

Ahh it’s comparison time again!!!!! Billa versus Don. It’s a no brainer actually, Billa just doesn’t stand a chance. I am not a fan of Shah Rukh as I’ve said in my previous articles, but I have to say, I was just in awe after watching Don. The movie has a certain level of class and panache that however much Kodambakam has tried, cannot emulate. They say it’s not a copy of SRK’s Don and only a remake of Rajni’s Billa, but unfortunately they have taken this movie while looking behind their backs at SRK’s version.

To Ajith’s credit, I should say the stunts were good, cars were great and all the action was decent. I didn’t feel sleepy but was not at the edge of my seat either. Ajith may not have been as good as SRK, but he was good in his own way, but I must say, the girls just don’t stand a chance. Priyanka Chopra and Isha Koppikar were good with Priyanka making a stunning performance. Nayanthara was good, really good(I oogled her well enough hot kindJ of good) if not as good as Priyanka, but man must I say Namita just threw me off. Seeing her dance was like watching a shaved Female version of TR in a skin hugging dress dance!!!!! Totally bad choice. Movie has comedy, which I tell u is nice but sorry buddy, just doesn’t fit in a action thriller here. Ajith my dear man, just because you are doing a remake of Rajni’s film doesn’t mean you do everything he does!!!

All the locales were great and some were even stunning. Cinematography was nice. Music through the movie was great though I didn’t like any of the songs except for the theme music.

The cops and bad guys all looked dapper in their suits and coolers. The usual. It’s a ok kinda movie you can watch once. It will linger on though…

Don for the masses, class n Ajith’s local crowd mixed into one Hollywood styled tollywood movie…
