Reviews
“Compared to its predecessor, Don 2 is an extremely straightforward action film that dispenses with a multitude of narrative threads and excursions into other genres. This globalized version of Bollywood is particularly similar to the films in the Mission Impossible series with its penchant for intricate break-ins, playing with different identities and the effectiveness of exotic locations. "
"Lively action film with captivating choreographed fight scenes and a fast-paced, tricky plot, the narrative tone of which is reminiscent of the exalted style of the early James Bond films."
