Don 2 Plot Holes – By Sahil

Some plot holes and flaws of Don 2 by Indicine reader Sahil

Things I want to understand in DON 2

1) Have all his aides gone for Thanksgiving vacation that THE DON himself has to be the carrier for drugs and collect payment. This was there in the original DON, but that was released in 1978, I guess we have grown from that point.

2) Don’s surrender and then exit. Kind of same screenplay was written (mind it its “kind of” ) for Kidnap and half dozen movies. And no need to tell what was the response for Kidnap, but since this time SRK pulled this heroic stunt that’s y critics loved it.

3) Where was Roma exactly, a dance.. a chase.. and finally some screen presence in Climax. was she actually part of this project. Do u really think that the Script was at all balanced as there was only Don and Don.. like a autobiography of Gandhi where no other entity exists.

4) Mr Vardhan, for those of u who remember the scare crow in the field aka DON. What was his purpose except of the fact that he had keys of the locker. And he kept him alive, just to put him behind the bars.. for his vengeance or for his sadistic pleasure or may be he became law abiding guy. In Either ways nothing worked. It was as lame as the Ra 1 becoming real.

5) Two of the counter characters were more or like invisible as far as Plot was concerned but yet this was supposed to be a heist film. Ppl may be audacious enough to juxtapose it with MI 4 but i may feel that the level of script and sense of plot was not where close to Fast Five. It was childish.

6) Childish, couple of kids … grown up kids were there, the hacker, the Inter-pol officer…. i guess his name was Arjun in the movie and few more…. could have gone for the better ones. Infact Vindu Dara singh would have been better than Inter-pol officer and as far as Kunal Kapoor is concerned, Lucifer from Ra1 would have been better choice.

7) Don wearing a mask of Hrithik, possible. Don mimicking Hrithik, i cant say that he had an Voice change like Ethan Hunt does with that chip on his throat. Don becoming Tall (sorry no explanation).

8) Jabbar gets the supari to kill DON. wow even Indain Govt should do the same, give some money to Papu yeda or Munna Mobile or Halim Langda and get rid from Honorable Mr Dawood.

9) Finally Currency plates: In 90?s we first saw the best of best in Vishvatma, Azgar juraat had publication house in kenya where he “Publishes” Indian rupees . Please dont ask why and what because at that time the concept as well as the country “Kenya” were new for me so i accepted it humbly. But even The legend Rajiv rai raised the bar by showcasing the Asambhav of Pres of India getting kidnapped. (yeah this Asambhav was made sambhav in his classic). Do i need to crib more on this, i guess this comparison is more than enough.

10) What was the purpose.
a) To get the Printing Plates b) To make fool of ROMA and VARDAN
c) Get all his enemies killed by Police and he gets the imunity d) To Make fool of Audience.

Note: I felt SRK was really good in this episode. At least better than DON 1 but what disappointed me was Farhan Akthar. I have such a high regards for his writing skills and he disappointed.

This was a big let down from his end, it was like an Abbas-Mastan film, I think he could not get a worse comparison than this.

  • @SAHIL: DON 2 was like other other bollywood, it was no a movie based on social cause, so loop holes r bound to happen, it a jst a good masala film & far btr dan SRK’S RA.1 sodnt blame FARHAN

  • 8 who is rajiv rai and who cares for vishatma
    this don is epic
    10 th purpose is to become emperor of world crime and kingpin a crimelord
    dont be harsh on young director
    hes promising and he has done agreat job in filmmaking and marketing the movie am eager to watch his don 3

  • @SALMAN HATERS: dis type of articles come aftr SRK’S release bcoz u ppl start sayin SRKcame wid smthin new, common yaar i mean i agree DON 2 was a good entertainer bt it is jst a MASALA FILM NT SOMETHING NEW

  • @sallu sucks: hv mercy on SRK & TOM CRUISE,i mean i agree DON 2 is a good entertainer bt stop comparing it wid MI, ye sunega to SRK bhi faint ho jayega

  • @ayan ahmed, don 2 is definitely stant out and its different movie its best action movie ever coz movies fight scene look convincing not like salmans movies were he hit 50 muscular guys here and there, do u think its real? , farhan tries to make every scene convicing and close to real and more importantly indian audience r not used to complicated scripts otherwise even indian director can also make complicated films like ocean eleven and MI4 , may be thats why farhan kept it easy and simple , yes movie is little complicated thats why didnt undertood by single screen audience and i hope that indian director shud get inspired from this film and shud stop making rajinikanth and salman khan type of movies anymore

  • im a big fan of rajinikanth not for the movies he has done but for the charity he is doing , he is not like salman who do some charity and shout from roof top , rajinikanth do charity silently i think salman shud learn a lot from rajinikanth

  • Remove this bullshit article or POST flaws / Plot holes for each movie after release!!
    Why don’t you post other films Errors/Flaws ?

  • Shahrukh going to rock bigtime in his upcoming flicks yash chopras’s next,chennai express, xtreme city,Bajirao mastani, Ramanai…And so on:)still reading khan

  • Flaws are more or less in every movie. I would just like to state that SRK and no big release for previous week helped DON2 to cross 100 crore mark, else it is really a let down from Farhan, who has given scripts like Dil Chahta Hai, Don, etc. Anyways, SRK is the soul of the movie. If we replace Abhishek with SRK in DON2, it would have hardly collected half of the money what it had collected by now. SRK is having a tough time though when movies of other Khans and Devgn are crossing the 100 crore mark quite easily, DON2 has taken 12 days to cross, it is a bit unexpected from a star like SRK. 2012 will be another year when Salman will rule with two biggies. SRK though have YRF film with Chennai Express but yet i feel a Chak De India followed up with Main Hoo Na is required for the man, i.e, a Masala film to collect big chunks. Insallah, time will come soon for the Super Star. Love u Salman-SRK-Aamir for entertaining us for the last 24 years and still counting.

  • i agree with reader Sahil mimicking srk really yaar is correct he is king y is doing this type mimicking is back

  • @sahil, i think you have not understood the film don 2 and it’s script, even i was confused a bit, for example when don and roma are about to attack jabbar and vardhaan in the bank, there is conversation between don and roma in which don says to roma i am fed up of my wrongdoings as don and i want to be free man from police and from his aides and indeed in the end he escapes from police and his aides. Like this there are many instances where don has just used roma, vardhaan, jabbar, kunal (he joins don’s gang at the climax part which is another superb twist in the end). Mr Sahil please watch one more time this movie, it’s a very cleverly written script and superb direction by farhan akhtar.

  • @ Indicine (Hope u read all the articles): I agree to some points of that lad (Sahil) good work probably, but didnt get him y the hell he wasted time on this film only??? i mean wats d big deal in the things wat he has pointed out, each n every film has these things which if we want we can point it out n dat too alot of thngs…. i’ll jst gve u 1 eg. ZNMD was 1 of the best film last year, there was a kissng scene bet’n kat n hrithik, i didnt understnd y the hell she went the long way back behind the 3 actors on a bike wen they were already attractd towards each other, just for a KISS (Bull-shit)…. so these thngs r nt to be puked out as every film has sum -ve’s dude…… just move ahead…. n sahil if u want i can give such eg of any film u say :) so jst dnt criticize a film jst to be in limelight.

  • If you leave your brain at home – you will watch the movie……I left half way through. Its not about an actor – I am not a fanatic, actors are here today and will be replaced by somebody else tomorrow, – i enjoy good theatre. we are supposed to be moving ahead – technology is so advanced especially in India.

  • Im a big srk fan and a big sallu fan but u hav to admit Bodyguard really sucked i didnt expect such a crap movie from salman nd u guys didnt post shit for tht no all of a sudden u idiots find flaws in DON 2, honestly just shut it and go enjoy movies ! BTW EK THA TIGER AND YASH RAJ NEW MOVIE GONNA ROCK THE BOXOFFICE !!!

  • @arindam,…I am quite surprised to finding that, you were found always when there is such a little drop news about Don 2 collection,. But when the real news arrives,. You always manages to run away,..is that the real spirit of every salman khan fan…..your prediction about Don 2 2nd weekend collection was 15 crore,…but it managed to collect 20 crore on its 2nd weekend,..and remember, your early prediction about don 2 lifetime collection was 94 crore(!!!!)…….Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha……….
    Listen you dump,.according to early boxoffice collection, Don 2 hindy verson has managed to collect 100+ crore till now,.and with regional verson it is much more……cheak BOR,.Don 2 has affected Players,.players advance booking is terrific and seems like people is still interested in Don 2…if players fails, then there is a chance for don 2 to have a one more jump on its third sunday…..look,. I accept that this year salman is standing ahead from srk, only in India,..but that not means that srk is far behind…although with overall collection srk is still heading from 2 other khans…..watch, don 2 overseas collection is playing with 3idiots , bodyguard, ready, dabangg overseas collection….SRK is the only khan who marked 100 crore on overseas with MNIK ,which is not possible for amir ya salman….with a nonholyday season , Don 2 indian collection is superb,..and I accept that ready was sureshot hit which was realeased in nonholyday season, if I want to say dabangg, bodyguard was hit because of EID…..
    So stop shouting like illiterate….

  • @rahan: actually u are sayin hittin 50 men in 1 go is unblvble den wat abt d DON 2 introductry scene where SRK kkilled many goons was dat belivble?

  • @SRK, acknowledging ur comments, my predictions for the 2nd weekend of DON2 gone completely wrong as the movie collected 3-4 crores more but if you can remember i hav told for the collection in Hindi version excluding regional versions. Next, please don’t include oversees boxoffice collection while talking about any movies lifetime domestic collection because domestic collections depend on the fact dat how the movie performed in India and how much it earned profits to its distributors. Thus, considering the above stated fact, Aamir Khan is way ahead, Salman is in second with 3 back to back sucesses and SRK have 2 movies in 100 crore zone not even crossing 120 crores (excluding regional versions). Its immetarial to include regional versions as cost invoved in dubbing is comparitively higher than the boxoffice collection in that region, thus, most of the producers stay away from regional versions other than Red Chillies Entertainment. So, we must include the hindi version only in our calculations as the same done by Indicine also. If you are a movie buff, expect the superstars to give entertaining movies rather than delivering “RA.One”.

    Criticise something but try to be constructive rather than destructive. @SRK hope you got your answer, thanks.

  • hey INdiceine team..
    can you just say me what is the crtiteria for a SRK;s movie to be called as blockbuster or super hit…??
    once you said that ot be called as superhit movie has to double it’s money and to be blockbuster it has to triple it’s money…
    i guess don 2 has already done that..it has almost tripled it’s investment..
    so why u people are calling SRK’s DON2 only a hit…
    why u people r jst so baised…

  • @arindam…agreed…If you judge this with a view of business man, SRK is standing behind salman and amir…..but judge this without business….you can find overwhelming success of SRK……Yes, Indian collection decides the profit, but you cant totaly minus the regional versons collection and overseas collection as it shows the star power of SRK which is much higher than salman and amir……….
    And dont give final prediction about Don 2. Yes, Ra.one collections was under 120 crore as it holds a poor story. Inspite of that, SRK should be honoured for making this film hit which may be quite impossible for other 2 khans as the srk is called the king of romance not superhero. …On the other hand, Don 2 is still steady and If players fails , Don 2 may cross the ready collection…..
    Now lets talk about overseas collection,..cheak Hollywood boxoffice…being american film,. Narnia 3, Prince of persia, Percy jackson etc films was unable to recover its cost with its american box office collection, but overseas collection made those films Blockbusters…thats why Hollywood is far away from Bollywood as Hollywood holds super strong followers over the worldwide,..and how long we will stay into India, its time for Bollywood to step forword over the worldwide as the KING KHAN SHAH RUKH KHAN is leading us,…….
    So my friend, much profit can provide the business but not the real success…….

  • @indicine in bodyguard kareena change her voice to karishma voice nd salman jumps from here to there in air.

  • Guys….great news…according to BOR, Don 2 hindy versons second week collection is 28+ crore,.and with regional verson it is 30+ crore….yapeee..

  • @ Indicine
    You published BOI hit movies list – 2011 (India) then why dont u publish BOI hit movies list – 2011 (Overseas) ???

  • another article from sallu fan. u shud hav put more points y only 10?? it is don2 not ready or bodyguard which according to u r best movies ever in bollywood. guys his words prove his heart is broken with the success of don2 which many wud agree is the best movie of 2011. srk rocks.
