Comments on: Don http://www.meghalomania.com/2006/11/10/don/ This blog, much like my life, is a work in progress. Mon, 07 May 2012 17:44:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sandy Pereira http://www.meghalomania.com/2006/11/10/don/comment-page-2/#comment-259534 Sandy Pereira Fri, 15 Jul 2011 19:27:38 +0000 http://www.meghalomania.com/2006/11/10/don/#comment-259534 Hey.. Just happened to stumble across this post/blog while searching info about the song Hawa Hawa and then realized the guy in it is Jeet Upendra! I only remembered bits and pieces about it and that it was in some movie called Don.. as I had seen it in my childhood.. but once I was done reading about it.. I just could not stop reading the rest of this blog and the comparisons.... Personally I loved the "Original Don", I was not that big a fan of the new one. SRK as a metrosexual was a bit too much to handle.. it hurt my eyes! But I loved Kareena in the song.. not the movie.. never thought I'd actually say that.. as she is not what you'd call one of my favs! I only got to admire her in Jab we met and that too coz the character was actually the real her.. loud.. precarious and annoying.. which worked well for her and made me "like" her! Thanks a ton for your opinions.. it is truly hilarious and has given me enough reasons to chuckle for the day! I understand I am writing over 4 years later.. but movies never go out of style! Cheers! Hey..

I could not complete the movie on television because my remote some how kept veering me away and soon after a few breaks I was watching a cricket match or some other B grader movie in Zzzzzee cinema or star gold The first half was like a kid (SRK) shaving using his daddy's razor to feel adult (AB). The cold masochistic charm of AB can not be matched by SRK now that he has left his maniacal, psychotic oeuvre. “SRK is not good at double roles”

BTW, thanks for Jeet Upendra bit. All these years his existence was almost lost in some dark deep unreachable corner of my brain..

He had done some good roles in Danga Fazaad, Panaah, Afsana Pyar Ka, etc. He had also acted in a Malayalam film "Johny Walker" in 1992. Mammoty was the main actor. Jeet Upendra was the second hero. It was about a middle aged guy(Mammooty) who joins college to meet his younger brother. He then changes the whole atmosphere of the college. Does it remind u of "Main hoon Naa" . But they were not the copies of "Johny Walker". There is famous song picturised on Jeet Upendra and Baba Sehgal. The song is "Aaja Mere Gaadi Mein Baitja" from Miss 420.
