First Day Last Show

Yesss.. I have done it again. I am back.. this time with a new film I just saw 'First Day Last Show'.

The film is Don, stars Shahrukh, Priyanka, Arjun, Boman, . . . Now, since this is a remake of a film with the same name, comparison is bound to happen, especially when the earlier film had the greatest Indian actor of all times, Amitabh Bachchan; and the recent one has the current Badshah of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan.

Let me speak up frankly... Shahrukh is not able to match the talent or the flexibility Big B enjoys, he is not suitable for a role such as this. Never in his film does he looks menacing enough as a don should be, and at times I really felt that it was a waste of time and money to see this film so early after its release. But, I had to write this article..........

However, speaking of the story, this has a few twists and turns which makes the film pretty interesting as the film rolls. The story starts with the same way as the original Don started, followed the same traded path and somehow managed to grip the audience with the interesting story-telling. The fans of the original Don will admit how thrilling even the old Don was... the name of the characters have been left same, Don, Vijay, Roma, Jasjit, Narang, Malik so that we can identify the characters. The tale, however has a twist in the tail which is quite hatke and all the characters do not meet the same fate as the original.

So, for all SRK fans, you may see the film as its him all the way in the film.. though personally I felt he is not upto the mark as a don!! This film's got style, sleek action (though not enough!), same legendary dialogue: 'Don ko pakarna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hai' minus the booming voice Big B possesses.

In the end, dont let my writing affect you, see the film by yourself and judge by yourself. Its ofcourse a one time film. Cheers...
