Why I did not like Don2

Don2, the big 150Cr box office bash, sequel to Don: The Chase Begins (2006) has been the most awaited movie of 2011. With the great stunts and 'close to Hollywood' cinematography Don2 has not only managed to be a super-hit but also achieved critical acclaim!
Now, why I didn't like the movie was the exact same reason why everyone else loved it. Quoting my mom, 'Shuru mein toh theek thi, but end mein that twist, changed my entire point of view!' Now wasn't that way too expected? I mean think of it, you're going to watch Don: a thriller about underworld, mafias and chase, won't the only thing certain be twists! So why make them that obvious? According to that movie nothing went wrong, everything was a 'twist' everything was planned to go wrong. And SRK played the role of God who could see through everything, everyone and knew exactly how things would turn out, down to last detail about reaction of policemen he hadn't even met!
That was way beyond what I could believe and digest.

  1. You can never expext the twists like the ones in Hollywood flicks like 'The Usual Suspects', unless they don't copy it and make 'Chocolate' out of it
    :-p Leave your brain home, give no thought to whats happening, and you'd probably like the movie.. :-))

  2. Don2 is a train wreck of bad lines and predictable plot twists. but it is astonishingly daft and so profoundly earnest that it is uniquely, hilariously enjoyable. It's so bad that it's good.
