Story:   A well presented sequel, the story begins again with Don (SRK) who surrenders himself at the Malaysian prison. There is a reason for that. He wants to join hands with Vardhaman (boman irani) for a mission. That is to extract the plates from DCB, the German bank which are used to print the currency. Both escape from prison and Don is now chased by Interpol officer Roma (priyanka) who is still in love with him. Don gets in touch with Dewan (alyy khan), the VP of the bank for his plan. The mission begins but then it is not all over without some betrayals, deceit and of course, a love that still remains. What happens in all this forms the rest of the story. Presentation: The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was engaging. The dialogues were charged up, the script was written with good research and the screenplay was apt. Background score was good and songs were upto the mark. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was regular. Costumes were trendy and stylish while the art department was suiting the moods. Shahrukh Khan has come up with an exceptional performance, his cool and suave style is appealing. Priyanka Chopra is more matured and contained. Boman Irani made his presence felt. Kunal Kapoor was decent. Nawab Shah is a revelation, he should get more chances. Both Lara Dutta and Om Puri were not used to their fullest. Alyy Khan was appealing. The others didn't have much scope to contribute. Conclusion:   The film happens to be a sequel and it takes off in a smooth fashion. The best part of the film are the locations and the taking. It is slick and visually appealing. While the first half goes on a mild note, the real tempo picks up during the second half and one gets a feeling of a Hollywood style action thriller. It is five years since the first part came and there is a lot of evolution in terms of script handling and the performances. Overall, this is a film which should be watched for its style and elegance. At the box office, the chances are strong that the film would score success.   Verdict: Stylish and smooth, watch it!!
