No Marketing is the best marketing - Probably not quoted by any famous person but this is something I'm saying and something that the team of 'Don 2' partly believes in. After the infamous Ra.One debacle, SRK thought it is better to keep mum on his films and to everyone's surprise - it works, big time. Period.

Don 2 is a tribute to Hollywood's impact on the Indian audience. With every Hollywood action flick releasing, the average Indian viewer expects the same in Bollywood - None of the biggies were able to satiate their thirsts until one man a.k.a. Farhan Akthar brings about a powerful script coupled with power packed stunts with the Baadshah of Bollywood and hence Don 2 scores.

If only would have the music been a tad better, Don 2 would have been rated as a classic and a benchmark set for others to reach but it doesn't, the songs are bad and the only thing that keeps playing in the background is the cherishable 'Don' theme.

Watching a Bollywood movie in 3-D would have people laughing at you when announced but watching Don 2 in 3-D was absolutely awesome. The explosions, the stunts and SRK were absolutely kickass in 3-D.

Farhan Akthar is intelligent so is Don 2 just like his creator. (Except for one flaw which I found towards the climax)

Action. Thrill. Suspense, Drama and a sprinkle of romance pretty much sums up Don 2. And the credit goes majorly to Farhan Akthar for drafting a brilliant script to continue the 'Don' franchise. Hats off Farhan!

Boman Irani as Vardhan, Om Puri as Malik and Priyanka Chopra as Junglee Billi come up with passable performances.

SRK proves his haters as to why people call him the Baadshah aur Is Baadshah ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi naamumkin hai.....

Rating: 3.5/5
