Posted November 5, 200618 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/55/Don2006.jpg this is a film that i enjoyed a lot!!! bollywoods answer to all those hk action/gengsta films like infernal affairs. even tho it was a bolloywood remake and wasntnt as slick as the se asian films (with fighting not a patch on folks like tony jaa/jet li) i thought it was great fun. feeling like a long lost jackie chan film from the 1980s, with bits of kung fu, melodrama, and comedy. also being bollywood there was a number of tunes slotted in at various points in the film, with quite a few being more like a hindi robbie williams/eurodisco video than some v trad thing, so i suppose these wont be too offputting. INFO In 2006, the drug trade is booming. The Malaysian Intelligence and Anti-Narcotic Department are called upon for assistance by their Indian Counterparts. There are rumours that a drug gang has recently moved their headquarters to Kuala Lampur. The gang is headed by Singhania. But what many people do not know, is that the business is truly managed by Singhania's trusted lieutenant, DON. A man who lives live on the edge, Don is constantly expanding the size of his empire while evading arrest or death at the hands of his enemies. His chief pursuer is an Indian police officer Narcotics, DSP Desilva (Played by Boman Irani). He is a man who has sworn to capture Don as he believes that Don is the key to capture the gang. And one day, he succeeds. Don is captured and Desilva puts his plan into action. Unknown to even his own department, Desilva has recruited and trained a man who is a spitting image of Don, his name is Vijay. Vijay infiltrates the cartel and manages to give Desilva all the information he needs to bring it down. But in a bizzare twist of fate, Desilva is killed during a raid and the secret that Don is infact Vijay, a police informer, is buried with him. The only people who realise that he is an imposter, are the members of Don's cartel and they want their revenge. Vijay is on the run and is now on the lookout for the last piece of evidence that can get him out of this mess. Helping him on his quest are two people. One is Roma (Priyanka Chopra), a young woman, who was working in the gang but only to avenge her brother's death who had been mercilessly killed by Don when he had decided to leave the gang. The other person is Jasjit (Arjun Rampal), the real father of Vijay's adopted son, he owes Vijay a favour for having looked after the boy while he was in prison. Wanted by the police, hunted day and night, will Vijay be successful in his mission?? and Priyanka Chopra has been taking martial arts training for her role, so it looks like the bollywood studios want to muscle in on the asia extreme action and take a bite of the hk/thai action output. cool
