India Log book...

It is primarily a Shahrukh Khan film and I must say I did not enjoy watching it. Shahrukh playing the central character of DON is more about style and less about the fear and charisma of DON. Director Farhan Akhtar has focused heavily on creating a persona of DON who does not spare anybody. This film is nowhere come close to the original DON movie. Big B looked very natural and stylish too but Shahrukh seems shallow in the movie.  I feel big sets and foreign locales are not going to impress real movie goers in a three hour long movie unless the film offers more in terms of storyline and treatment.

Saw Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD)...good movie. A bit slow in some parts but overall is a nice film. It grows on your mind. I feel it is bit too long. It is on the line of 'Dil Chahta hai'. But DCH had great music and ZNMD lacks here. It has average music. Hritik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol were fantastic. Farhan is a bit of surprise. He should do more films...Guys go and watch it but I recommend to watch it with friends...more fun :) Photograph Courtesy:  http://zindaginamilegidobara.org
