Friends, we've been waiting for this day for years: the day where we'd finally watch the original Don! And boy, did we have a blast. How could you not? There's intrigue, melodrama, revenge galore, and way more tight-rope walking than we expected. Not to mention Amitabh Bachchan in one of his most iconic roles!
