I am a huge fan of Amitabh and I have my own DVD of the original Don which i guess i have seen umpteenth times!!! After watching SRK's Don, i must say that the only thing that is wrong in this movie is the change in script. Farhan actually thought of making the audience jump from their seats on these twists...in actual, it made them yawn!
SRK was fine, though he looked more like Mannu Dada as Don, and more Baadshah as Vijay. Priyanka was a miscast, so was Om Puri. Since Desilva was vardhan, there was no need for a Malik!
A couple of areas that left a lot to be desired were: 1) When Don killed the guy with a golf shot 2) Roma's entry into the gang 3) Vardhan's role 3)Inspector Verma's role 4)Khaike pan Banaraswala song 5)Ramesh's Murder.
SRK has a huge fan following, and i really liked him in DDLJ, Swades, and Veer-Zaara. These movies showed how versatile he is, but through out the movie, when ever he opened the mouth, SRK came out!I personally feel SRK was miscasted as Don. The only person that can carry on the role of Don and Vijay is Akshay Kumar.
The movie has great visuals. Farhan Akhtar could have done a better job, provided Javed sb have written the script.
