Analysis:
The film happens to be a sequel to the original hit 'Don' and it has been packaged with more richness and style. The film takes off on a slow note and it is not until the interval bang that it really picks up. But it is the overall feel and the efforts put in to cover different countries. Moreover, with less content, the challenge was to engage the audience for two plus hours and it was successful to an extent. As such, there are not many riveting scenes but it gives a satisfying taste after the film ends. At the box office, the openings will be strong and given the hype, the film would land in profit zone.
Verdict: One time watcher..
