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.

  • Totaly agree with you Sahil.
    I also want to add one point.Police gives imunity to Don because he helps them to save ppl.
    Agar police don se kahate ki tumhari help ki hame jarurat nahi hai,we can save ppl ourself & imunity dene se inkar karte to pata nahi Don kya karta?

  • yaar!i don’t understand what was going on? SRK movies will take india to the international levels!they should have to proud on that and they criticizing it !they haven’t see bg or ready or singham? There is a conspiracy behind it for srk ! srk is the global superstar thatswhy they are tryieng to demolish him!magar ek baat samajh lo don ko dabana mumkin hee nahi namumkin hai!amir bolta hai salman no 1 hai-salman bolta hai amir no 1 hai-akshay bolta hai salman no 1 hai-yeh log aapas may hi ek dusre ko no 1 banate hai kyunki sab jaante hai no 1 kaun hai!yeh sab ek taraf aur srk ek taraf jaise jungle may sher ek taraf aur baki jaanwar ek taraf!srk have always last laugh !haa haa haa

  • @indicine……I follow ur posts regularly….i liked indicine the most because u guys always posted unbiased comments/posts. but 2 negative posts of DON 2 r senseless & worthless…..be yourself yaar…..dont get biased by that Raja sen, who never talks sense & guys like sahil ,who comes from nowhere when SRK movie releaes & talk some shit about it.if u continue posting these things then u ll be
    degrading ur name only.

    @sahil……i think now u must hav understood the plot of DON 2 which u didnt after watching it by reading the comments here..

  • @ Yahya mohammad. Agree with u for the past two yrs most of the media and critics trying to pull down SRK and his films. Despite so called negativity surrounding him he managed to give two back to back 100 crore movies. Then they tried to link him with priyanka because they thought that SRK is a family man linking him with any of his heroine will ruin his family life, again they failed in their mission. Nobody can ruin him and his career. U can love him and u can hate him but u cannot beat him.

  • Again great news guys,..according to early boxoffice news,.. Don 2 has collected 105 crore total in India with all versons,. And with overseas collection,. Don 2 has managed to collect 165 crore worldwide in 2 weeks,…..Cheers….

  • sahil you are anti SRK fan.So only see salman’s nonsense movies.You naver see any plot holes in salman movies & never write again any foolish plot holes.you are stupid and fool.

  • Indicine,…seems like you have to change your prediction again,..as well as Don 2 is performing greatly all over….also ‘Players’ is not promising too much to affect Don 2 according to its early booking….Don 2 total Indian boxoffice collection may be come near 130 crore, and with overseas collection,. It will be sure higher than Bodyguard overall collection………cheeers guys….

  • Well kid. . Yo hav done yo home work. . Its actually a cool movie. . R u perfect?? This is an silly article!! If yo trying to drag d attention of people by this!! Den its a cheap old trick

  • Whatever he this @sahil said i don’t agree for me Farhan Akhtar did a very good job nd i think its the best action movie ever made in bollywood.

  • First of all Thanks Indicine team for posting this, i never knew that u post articles from others.
    I am so sorry i could not write the same for Bodyguard and Ready as i don’t feel they were worth enough.
    I have high regards for Farhan as writer and as a director; his choice of subject etc etc and thats why i was dejected with his writing.
    Ironically i questioned these points to Indicine as they wrote more GOOD than BAD about DON and surprisingly u guys felt otherway.

    I cant address all the comments but i feel i need to address some of them.

    1) I am not comparing bollywood and Hollywood, for that matter i felt DON was better than MI4 keeping Budget into consideration. Both had a childish plot. Deactivating nuclear bomb use to be a thrill now it looks like a old cliche.

    2) Jail sequence: I didnt find it much better than the escape scene of Kidnap. considering Akhtars film things has to be real good. remember Lakshya.

    3) Yes The Title is DON not roma or vardhan but considering it to be a sequel, the comparison with the original is obvious and thats y i questioned whether script was balanced. In case u see any of his film, u will find that all characters get equal meat in the film.

    4) Hrithik’s height and voice, i wasnt that serious but yeah they could have gone for some one better.

    5) Box office collection, if this is the barometer of judging the credibility then i guess best movie would be Bodyguard which in all respect is not possible.

    This would have been the best as per Abbas Mastan or any others standard.

    I hope i answered some of the question.
    And yeah some one asked who is Rajiv rai, so dude he is the one who directed Tridev, Vishwatma, Mohra, gupt etc… so dude if u call ur self as cinemoger than better be one of them.

    Cheers !!!

  • @indicine U are treading on high waters here!! Look at the replies so many in defence of the film This post should hav been posted a little later as the film has superb word of mouth so it is obvious tht ppl wll get angry!! Yes the article is informative our cmnts hav helpedmany ppl undrsdtand the film btr but indicine the time is not correct!! remember what happened to a guy called rajeev masand nd his credibilty fr going the wrong way with don2 sure u do?? Sumtime its best to stay quiet but still gud wrk hope u cntinue this fr othr films as well

  • Oh really sahil? Then i think u liked the movies like ready,bg,singham etc all of remakes in wich 1 hero beats 100 villains at the same time..n throwing water the shirt comes off..come on man..don 2 is superb dan dose remakes by lallu..of mallu..don’t try to bring it down..all r liking the film..u damn it!!

  • @sanal: if u ppl cnt digest killin 100 ppl in 1 go den u mst hv left the theatre aftr d introductry scene of DON whr he kills many goons in 1 go

  • NO DOUBT SRK IS A BTTR ACTOR DAN SALMAN, BT HERE SRK FANS ARE NOT TALKING ABT HIS ACTIN DEY R JST GOIN BEHIND THE BO COLLECTIONS & WEN U TLK ABT BO COLLECTION NW SALMAN IS A BIGGER CROWD PULLER DAN SRK

    BTTER ACTOR- SRK
    BTTER HERO(crowd puller)- SALMAN

  • Good article….. Everyone knows that bodyguard and ready were not master pieces do no need of an article for mon brained movies. As far as don 2 is concerned it not near master piece either as declared by srk fans here. If u guys agree that this is also a masala entertainer just like any other movie than there is no need of this article but if u call don 2 a master piece than we surely need this article. I think Aankhain starring akshay, Arjun and amitabh was much better in every aspect for a robbery plot and exit strategy.

    @ aashkaran .. U asked what movie does 30 cr in 2 nd weekend.. Dude stupid ready did more business in 2 nd week than don2.. Read boi.

  • Guys……everything about Don 2 is running perfectly..Don 2 is already Hit…and no doubt atleast it will be a super hit……but, to be a Blockbuster, Don 2 atleast need 135 crore which seems like quite difficult for Don 2 now….but remain,..Ready had faster drop on its 3rd week and ZNMD was much steady than Ready when both film had managed to collect same amount on their third week though ready is much bigger hit film than ZNMD …..Don 2 is running similar like ZNMD cause only with a strong multiplex collection Don 2 has made a long run…..since its looking like ‘Players’ may not affect Don 2 much and if Don 2 keeps steady run like ZNMD on its 3rd week then it should collect 15+ crore on its third week….and before ‘AGNEPATH’ realease it may be able to collect 7 crore on its 4th week…..if my calculation comes true then Don 2 lifetime collection may come around 131-133 crore, which is near of Blockbuster….

  • if you think that ankheen better than don 2 then you must have been living under a rock or in a cave wake up supid salman khan fan
    this akheen is riddles full of loopholes where on earth have you seen blind people rob banks
    they cant get their way right let alone rob or heist wake up daydreamer

  • indicine if u publishd plot holes of each and evry movie ter wouldnt be a problem.u didnt do tat all tes times.all of a sudden u decided to publish one .tats y ppl r angry.tey think ur anti srk.do it for all ta movies.

  • I am really surprised to see this article pointing in a wrong way to the King khan’s movie. Common guys he is SRK…. No other actor can come close to him.

    When ‘Kaho na pyaar hai’ movie released media compared hrithik roshan with SRK!!!..
    When SRK did DON in 2006 and kaun banega crorepati, you compared him with Amitabh!!!
    when Ghajini and 3idiots released … you compared Aamir khan wth SRK!!!
    When Singh is king released…you compared Akshay kumar with SRK!!!
    When Dabangg,body gaurd movie released…..you compared Salman khan with SRK!!!

    Let me ask you one simple question. Who was common in comparision ??? its SRK !!! Dont you still need a proof what milestone SRK has achieved!!!

    Read boxofficeindia.com, SRK has managed 15 blockbusters overseas out of total 21 blockbusters in the history of Indian cinema!!!!

  • Dear Sahil,
    u r really a fool or wat ,every bollywood or even hollywood movies have wat u called “HOLES”.
    If u had seen all time blockbuster movie “SHOLAY” it all had some un digestable holes in it.
    1. There is tubewell an pani ki tanki in d village, still jaya bachhan lights lamp every evening.
    2. thakur wants to trap Gabbar and gave this work to jay n veeru, Anyone noticed thakur once goes to Gabbar’s adda, where his hands were struck off. In the whole movie he searching for gabbar ha ha ha..

    So sahil in evry movie there r hundreds of flaws..that’s y they r called MOVIES not REAL LIFE..Get screwed up from someone….SRK rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!KING IS BACK with a vengence!!!!!!!

  • I think ae sab points aapane khud ki hawa karne ke liye nikale hai………

    Except 8th point u r hardly making any sense……
    n even if u r right why d hell u criticizing it as it was worst film of d world……..

    U talked about MI4…….bt sorry to say all hollywood critics have rated film 3 to 4 stars…….
    n sadly most of bollywood critics have underrated our film…….
    now,we have habit of finding unnecessary loop-holes in our film…..n praising hollywood films…..
    plz grow up yaar……n stop criticizing unnecessarily…..n appreciate good work……

    i m nt saying don2 is a gr8 film………bt it is nt as dumb as u r saying…….

  • @SRK FANS: dnt take so much tension abt media tryin to pull down SRK, earlier dey tried same tricK wid SALLU, bt he came back wid a bang, SRK will do the same
