Don: The Chase Begins Again, better known simply as Don, is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Farhan Akhtar. The film was produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Akhtar's production company Excel Entertainment. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan as the titular anti-hero and Priyanka Chopra as Roma. While[4][5] Arjun Rampal, Isha Koppikar, Boman Irani, Pavan Malhotra, and Om Puri appears in supporting roles. Kareena Kapoor makes a special appearance. Don is a remake of the 1978 film of the same title, and follows the titular criminal's look-alike who has been sent on a clandestine mission to impersonate Don after he is wounded in a chase, and to gather intelligence on the drug mafia.
The illegal drug trade based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is booming. A team headed by DCP D' Silva targets the operations of cartel leader Singhania to capture his manager, Don. Singhania is one of the two lieutenants of a deceased kingpin, known as Boris; the other is Vardhaan, whose whereabouts are unknown.
Don kills Ramesh, one of his close associates, after he tries to leave the gang without informing him first. Ramesh's fiance Kamini uses herself as bait in an attempt to trap him for the police, but Don kills her too in a stand-off. Roma, Ramesh's sister, plans to avenge her brother and sister-in-law's deaths, and infiltrates Don's gang. Don is injured and falls into a coma while trying to flee from the police. D'Silva finds a poor look-alike named Vijay and asks him to join his mission. Vijay agrees when De Silva promises to admit Deepu, a boy Vijay takes care of, to school.
Meanwhile, Jasjit, an IT consultant and Deepu's father, is released from prison. He plans to kill D'Silva to avenge his wife's death. Several years ago, Jasjit was captured by an unknown assailant who made him steal diamonds from his employer in order to save his kidnapped wife. However, D'Silva caught him and refused to believe Jasjit, shooting him in the leg and giving him a permanent limp. Jasjit's wife died after.
Jasjit finds the disc in D'Silva's apartment. He receives a call to bring the disc to the men who are holding Deepu hostage. He learns that D'Silva has been alive all along and is actually Vardhaan (who is also implied to have been the man who blackmailed Jasjit) and was using Vijay to reach Singhania. Jasjit escapes with Deepu and teams up with Vijay and Roma before the trio inform Interpol.
In combat, Vijay overpowers Vardhaan, who is then arrested by Interpol Inspector Malik. A wounded Vijay is acquitted, and Roma confesses her love for him. However, before Vijay is taken to the hospital, he says a line Don had told her when they first met. In a twist ending, Roma realizes that she was being toyed with: Don is alive and was pretending to be Vijay all along. At the hospital, Don, who had recovered from his coma, overheard Vardhaan and Vijay's plans. Following Vijay's operation, Don switched places with him and injected an overdose of diazepam in Vijay's glucose stream, killing him and making the doctors believe it was Don who had died, and the disc Don surrendered to the police was a fake one. Now, with both Vardhaan and Singhania removed, Don becomes the master of the Asian drug cartel.
Farhan Akhtar conceived the idea to remake the 1978 film of the same name after listening to a remixed version of a song from the original film.[6] In early 2005, media started reporting that Akhtar was planning to remake the film, but rather than confirming the news, he revealed that though he was writing the screenplay based on the film, he would take the final decision after completing the script.[7] The director co-wrote the film with his father, Javed Akhtar, who had also written the original film with Salim Khan.[7][8]
In order to suit the modern sensibility, several changes were introduced. Akhtar changed a number of aspects of the climax as he felt the original ending was outdated for today's audiences.[11] On the other hand, a number of elements from the original were retained in the new film, notably the background score, two songs, some dialogue, and some situations, all of which Akhtar believed were fine in the original, saying that not including them would be a crime.[8]
Akhtar initially wanted Hrithik Roshan for the titular character, after having worked with him on Lakshya (2004).[12] However, Akhtar felt that the character required a more mature actor, saying he wanted "a face that had seen the world and roughed it out." The director said that Roshan's innocence was not right for the role, and instead cast Shah Rukh Khan for the part that had been portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan in the 1978 film.[7][12] Akhtar believed that Khan was the most suitable for the role, saying, "He has the personality, the style, the flair, the larger than life persona, the sense of humour and the sheer magnetism that this character requires."[11]
In July 2005, Priyanka Chopra was cast to play Roma, a role originally played by Zeenat Aman.[13] Akhtar found Chopra to be perfect for the role, saying, "There is a docile sensuality about her which suits the character." When he offered the role to her, she was excited to play the character and immediately agreed to do the film.[12] Later that month Arjun Rampal and Isha Koppikar joined the cast.[14] While Rampal was cast as Jasjit, played by Pran in the original, after Akshay Kumar turned down the role for being secondary, Koppikar was cast in a completely new role that was not in the original film.[14][15] In August 2005, Kareena Kapoor was confirmed to appear in the song "Yeh Mera Dil", which had been performed by Helen in the original film.[16]
Khan, Chopra, and Rampal underwent extensive martial arts training from an expert from the Shaolin Temple.[6] The principal cast received training in different kinds of martial arts.[17] Khan revealed that he had always wanted to look the way Amitabh Bachchan had in his films, but he said he gave his own interpretation to the role.[12] After signing to do the film, Chopra was very excited, but a few days later, she became nervous, wondering if she would be able to do justice to the character.[18] Having seen the original film as a teenager, Chopra avoided watching the film again as she did not wanted to imitate Zeenat Aman's portrayal of Roma. She made a conscious effort to give her own look and style to the character.[18][19]
This was Chopra's first action role, and she was excited to the part, so she wanted to do all the stunts by herself.[18] After Chopra decided to perform her own stunts, Akhtar revealed that he was happy as it gave him the scope to film the fight sequences from different angles.[8] Rampal, in the role of Jasjit, said that he approached his character in a way similar to how Pran had played it in the original but with an emotional graph. Boman Irani, who plays DCP D'Silva, a role performed by Iftekhar in the original film, revealed that he played the role according to what suited the script, but retained some of the dignity from that film.[20]
Principal photography commenced in February 2006 in central Mumbai.[21][22] Art direction was handled by Aradhana Seth, and the costumes were designed by Aki Narula.[23] Akhtar chose K. U. Mohanan to handle the cinematography after having been impressed by his work in documentaries and TV commercials.[24] To give an authentic feel to the film, scenes were shot on a closed set in actual chawls in real locations.[22] The film was also shot at Film City and Yash Raj Studios.[23] Some filming was done in Paris in March over a 3-day schedule.[25]
The filming moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in April 2006 where the majority of the film was shot. 80% of the filming was done in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi.[26] In Malaysia, filming was done over the course of 70 days at 42 locations including KLCC, Kampung Baru, and Penchala Link, and included more than 1000 extras, all of whom were selected following auditions. Additional filming was done in Singapore.[26][27] Apparently, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad, who had previously declined even Hollywood films to be filmed in the Petronas Towers, gave his permission for the crew to film inside his personal office in the Towers.[28] For a scene depicting a media ambush, several real-life journalists from India and Malaysia were hired.[29]
The song "Yeh Mera Dil" was choreographed by Farah Khan.[26] Veteran choreographer Saroj Khan agreed to choreograph the new version of the popular song "Khaike Paan Banaras Waala", which had been choreographed by her mentor P L Raj in the original film.[26][30] The song was filmed in Malaysia on 13 May 2006 with Khan and Chopra.[26] The dancing for other songs was choreographed by Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Hegde, and Rajeev Surti.[23] Hollywood technician Angelo Sahin, the special Effects supervisor behind Mission: Impossible 2 (2000), and aerial stunt co-ordinator Joe Jennings, known for his work in films such as Charlie's Angels (2000), were hired for the action sequences. Filming was also at the Petronas Towers[31]
The soundtrack received positive reviews from music critics, who praised "Aaj Ki Raat", calling it "innovative" and the best song on the album. The recreation of songs from the original film, "Ye Mera Dil" and "Khaike Paan Banaraswala", received mixed reviews. Joginder Tuteja from Bollywood Hungama gave the album a 4 out of 5, noting its success at surprising its listener, and wrote, "Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy do exceedingly well with the soundtrack and establish their supremacy as the composer trio who can give their own even while rearranging the songs from the past."[34] Planet Bollywood gave a rating of 6.5 out of 10, praising its lyrics and vocals, and termed "Aaj Ki Raat" as "the best song in the entire soundtrack."[32] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com was less impressed with the album, calling it "Snazzy, good mix" and writing, "This lavish enterprise has a little bit of everything. An eclectic mix of old, new and everything in between; Don is an unusual presentation of old-wine-in-new-bottle."[35]
