Don

RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Netflix Source: Nil RECOMMENDED

Good story, funny execution and extraordinary climax portion. The first half till interval it goes like a serial/stage comedy show... Some funny moments are really likeable, like the parent meeting with Suri. Most of SJ Surya acting in first half is comic than terror. The saving grace in first half is that you can relate atleast one character crossed in everyone's college life.

The actual story and some nice sequences starts in the second half only. Some respectful acting of SJ Surya and self realising sequences are captured very well.

The last 40 minutes are make this movie more worthy and make us forgot all the mistakes in the previous portions.

Worth the watch.

The director probably tried to sneak as much as comedy in this film which made it into a mess!

Everything was good enough to make family audience happy!

But there was a lot of illogical scenes in this movie! The student vs principal thing would never happen in reality!

The only good thing in this film is SK, Ani's Music and last 20 minutes!

The father sentiment worked really well!

Overall: 6/10.

Initially the movie seems to follow a overdone formula but it shines in the second half. From start to finish it keeps you engaged and the last 30-40 minutes is where all it's strength lies and is an emotional rollercoaster.

It's just an ordinary movie comedy works at some areas first half good entertainer like typical tamil cinema second half full of emotions. Nice acting and one time watchable. Emotions connected very well in last few minutes👍🏻

Surprisingly , a well made entertainer . Emotion , Comedy , Romance , action , motivation everything was very well balanced . Story was pretty simple, it was inspired from the director's life ( Cibi )and he presented it well . Cat and mouse between SK and SJ Surya was really intresting . 1st half was completely filled entertaining elements plus few dose of cringe too . 2nd half was also entertaining and at same time motivating . Last 20mins emotional scenes really worked well . Eventhough Comedy was bit cringe it worked in most of the places . Performance wise SK , SJ Surya and Samuthirakani were show stealers , their characters were very well designed . Eventhough Priyanka had less screentime her characterisation was pretty impressive . Again Anirudh with his music just rocked it . 2hrs 43mins runtime was too long . Overall a well made entertainer . After some disappointing commercial movies in Kollywood, this movie is a well made one . I hope Don will satisfy audience in every aspects .
