Review
Don is the kind of movie only an actor like Siva can pull off with utmost ease. The movie actually is intended to share a couple of emotional angles and hence Cibi cleverly made the first half a complete fun ride for the audience and then slowly step into the plot later.
First half of Don is a complete fun ride and well, Siva always excels when it comes to hilarious punches. The second half of the movie later digs deep into the story. Unfortunately, I felt that Cibi tried to tell a lot of things by the end of the movie and it all became a mess. Also, one of the main message Cibi was trying to say via his movie was unfortunately contradicting to what the rest of the movie shown.
Otherwise the slight lack of clarity by the end of the movie, Don is still a very good watch where Siva aces throughout as an actor and an entertainer.
Conclusion
A decent entertainer.
