Don (2006) and Don 2

About this episode

The episode discusses the films Don (2006) and Don 2, highlighting their action elements and cultural significance.

We've got a real bargain for you this week: two Dons for the price of one! Farhan Akhtar's 2006 remake of Don pays homage to the original while also adding wild twists and wilder costumes. And then Don 2 is a straight-up heist movie, which you know we love! These last two episodes have been a great foray into the type of action movie that we're sorely missing these days: ones that deliver ucomplicated thrills without nationalist, mysoginist undertones giving us the ick. These two films star Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Boman Irani. Akhtar wrote and directed both. Like what you're hearing? Remember to follow us on Instagram @2whitegirlstalkbollywood.
