I am totally excited to see Farhan Akhtar’s Don. Not because of Shahrukh Khan but because of Farhan Akhtar and because of the fact that I totally loved the original Chandra Barot’s Don.
I have lot of respect for Farhan Akhtar as a director and a story teller. I thought Dil Chahta Hai was a fantastic debut for Farhan Akhtar and he followed it up with an even better Lakshya. Although Lakshya did not do very well commercially, I thought that it was a very good film in terms of storytelling and performance. According to me, Lakshya will definitely go down as one of better performances of Hrithik Roshan.
One interesting trivia about Farhan Akhtar’s Don was that Hrithik Roshan was supposed to play the main lead of Don / Vijay. However, it didn’t work out as a result of which Farhan Akhtar approached Shahrukh Khan for the role which was gladly accepted by Shahrukh Khan.

Hey Anonymous! Thanks a lot for visiting my blog. I did visit the link that you've sent me and to be very honest with you, it's quite different from what I've written about the remake of Don directed by Farhan Akhtar. When I wrote those posts, Farhan Akhtar's Don had been not released. In fact I have seen Don and have written on what my thoughts on the movie are. Unfortunately, I've not been able to sit down and finalise the same. Although I must not make any excuses, but lately I have been swamped with work and hence unable to post my views on Farhan Akhtar's Don. Hopefully, I should put them up by the end of this week. I'd recommend you to read it and let me know if it still reads the same as the link that you've sent me.
Thanks for visiting the blog once again and do keep coming again and again!!!
Dear Anonymous, I couldn't wait till the weekend. Finished my piece on Farhan Akhtar's Don and posted them last evening itself on my blog. You can check it out and let me know what you think of the same.
