The Mob, cyber-India-style
Tonight, I'm attending an office outing to see Don. Judging from promotional photos, this movie appears to be a sort of Matrix/Godfather twist. That makes sense, because I think it's fair to assume most mobsters these days are 'wired', unlike those in the 70s. Here's the plot synopsis:
When ruthless Don (Shahrukh Khan) is killed by the police, the DSP D'Silva (Om Puri) is afraid that another "Don" will take over when the rest of the gang come of know of his death, so he, unbeknown to the rest of the police force, recruits Don's look-alike Vijay (also Shahrukh Khan) to become the real Don. Vijay is, at first reluctant, but when promised that two children he is caring for, will be looked after and educated, he agrees. He is successfully re-located back with his gang by feigning injuries, and loss of memory. He soon recuperates. Then fate takes an unexpected turn when the DSP is killed and Vijay becomes the suspect; his role as the Don ends, as his gang comes to know he is a fraud; Vijay must run for his life - both from the police and Don's gang - for his life, and the life of the two children.
Despite the many stressful obstacles they face, these mobsters find time to sing and dance. Can you picture Michael Corleone doing this?
