Would you ever kick with your limping leg? Not unless you are Jasjit, the muscular computer wizard, with samurai hair-style and dare-devil theft training. Rewind! Shahrukh Khan, Farhan Akhtar and the DON (old) - Three 
reasons for me to watch the film. First disappointment came through with the kind of cold introduction of such a strong and powerful character, the invincible DON. The portrayal of DON in the initial part seemed so dull and non-impactful, that I didn't develop even a slightest tinge of hatred for the character. The climax though is one ace that Farhan Akhtar has pulled out. Having seen the old DON, the climax comes in as a complete surprise. The three ladies - Kareena Kapoor, hardly sensous, Priyanka Chopra - Too "Croft" y, Isha Kopikkar - "Present Sir". Body language of DCP D'silva at times was next to preposterous. The one major glitche in the whole plot, I felt was the ease with which they could get hold of a look-alike for DON. Let go of the sky jump parachute snatching competition and the limping rampal heroics. Visually, the film is quite worthy of appreciation. The title animation appeared sub-standard and something not expected out of such a "huge" film. The title song was quite well shot and well done. The charismtic Khan lending his style and atittude to the brim. The kid performed well. Through the film, there were times when I felt the portrayal of the character (VIJAY as DON) was running into a lot of debatable ambiguities. But when I saw the climax, it was all well in place. The special effects are also commendable and a job well done. At times, too many split screens and screen chops add to a lot of visual disturbance. The action sequences are quite well shot. Some extra body guards still need "gun-hold-aim" training. I wonder if it was an act to cut down on the production cost, that the security for the "celebrated" DON was near to minimum in the hospital as well as on-board. Shahrukh Khan has delieverd what he could. The DON-costumes were well designed. But the initial build-up and the introduction of DON could have been better. The music was a let down. Shankar Ehsaan Loy songs are getting into the monotone twister. As for Farhan Akhtar, he sure has done justice to the remake in the way he twisted the climax. But he is yet to deliver another flawless like Dil Chahta Hai. I don't regret watching this film although it doesn't count as one amongst the lot I like.
