I prefer SRK's Don to Amitabh's. It is likely influenced by my view of 70's "dudes", of any culture, as ridiculously fluffy, unsubstantive, "stylish" (yech) posers who can't act their way out of a polyester bag. Where Amitabh's good guy posing as bad felt fake, SRK's felt like things might let loose at any moment, as if he might touch that 3rd rail of evil and flatten everyone in sight. You point this out - SRK is coiled energy vs. Amitabh as shrug of the shoulder cool. I like the evil potential and more jaded, hard ass Don of the modern era. Then again, I lived through the 70s and may just be suffering PTSD.JDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-43154342271399392102010-05-19T10:38:08.498-07:002010-05-19T10:38:08.498-07:00I thought re-Don was blegh.

Plus, I thought the heroine in this film had nothing to do: much less empowered than Roma in the original film. What happened to revenge-taking, head-shorn ass-kicking Roma? Plus, the change of the ending... now he's actually bad!?! Riiight.<br /><br />The point is that it is a remake, so you can't divorce it from the original and view it on its own terms. <br /><br />Count me among the Pran lovers, too. We all need more PRAN in our lives! and this film certainly needed him.F Crayehttp://florencecraye.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-38495373145273959992008-07-23T13:42:00.000-07:002008-07-23T13:42:00.000-07:00I'm with Beth (which would make a great name for a...I'm with Beth (which would make a great name for a blog, btw).

But neither of them is Pran, and that's the point here.<BR/><BR/>I love re-Don (great term, by the way). I love menacing Shahrukh. I love the slickness. I do not love Priyanka, but that's not really her fault, because her character was so utterly lame-o.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.com
