Don

For people who hate masala movies, I guarantee that this movie will be an excruciating experience.

I assure you that you will yearn for something good to happen in the movie and you will be disappointed when you never find it.

The makers have taken the audience for granted under the assumption that we will accept anything they do.

I really don't understand how Sivakarthikeyan chose this movie after doing a fine movie like Doctor.

Overall :- People who hate masala movies and love sensible movies, please avoid watching this movie.

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 .

College Don is the movie I needed to see . The first half of the movie itself is Comic Relief of the Movie ,laughed all the way through Intermission. Some scenes are straight up absurd. The love story was good .S J Surya gave a great performance as Principle but the highlight of the movie is the father son relationship between Sivakarthikeyan and Samuthrakani.

Oh my... Samuthrakani's performance is top notch and I understood why is he so hot right now as he's in every other movie I watch. The second half slowly turns into drama and by the time of the climax it takes complete 180 and turns really dark in a good way. This type of Father Son dyanamic is not new but this movie is different in my opinion ,it is so relatable and at times I was watching myself on the big screen and by the end made to think and appreciate my father a bit more.

My Nitpicks are some absurd scenes and a few characters which I was not into and my main nitpick is Anirudh's music , which is not bad but I felt it was basic and generic. I had high expectations from him after the massive success of Beast(by the way I keep the Beast Album on loop at night while sleeping every day since past month) and his consistent great music albums which are completely new and different from each other. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations , maybe this movie really didn't need Beast or Master level Albums whatever ,the fact I didn't like the music remains...

6.9/10.

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👍🏻

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.
