Why woould he want to do that? As far as he is concerned, Boman Irani is dead. And as he mentions right at the end, there was nothing in the disc he gave Boman in the first place. So he might as well just escape.<br /><br />Still, it was a pretty good trick, all things considered. I especially loved how he lured us into concentrating on the Boman vs Iftikhar change, while this was brewing in the background. I wrote a blog post about it a while ago -- you can find it <a href="http://celluloidrant.wordpress.com/2006/11/09/on-the-new-don/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />~ramsuRamsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08437722898856442265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-75388036178998466652007-12-08T03:09:00.000+02:002007-12-08T03:09:00.000+02:00Ah, Bebo rocked it.

But I'm not huge on Helen anyways, I like her but am no fan.<BR/><BR/>It seems okay that they remade it because Don is more a cult film than a classic.veracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-78903703825324165202007-12-07T21:38:00.000+02:002007-12-07T21:38:00.000+02:00I love that you said all this!

I'm a fan of both <I>Don</I>s and I love reading people who seem to be able to think rationally about the second version. <BR/><BR/>I actually liked the "f you" moment - I thought it was a clever way to keep the story surprising for the eight bazillion people who had seen the original.<BR/><BR/>And I'm with you on Helen and Kareena.
