Trivia:

In the final scene, Don says that he become baadshah of the underworld and that he is the king. Shah Rukh Khan, who plays Don in the film, is often referred to as the 'baadshah' of the Hindi film industry, and also as King Khan.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Vardhan/De Silva tells Jasjeet that he escaped via sewage cover before the van explodes, during the action sequence at car park). However in the flashback scene when the van moves from position there is no sewage cover visible.

Don:I dislike two types of girls: One, which take too much of time to come to me, and two, which come to me too early.

Yeh Mera Dil

Great Slick James Bond Type Entertainment

Don was great James Bond type entertainment. It had action, music, babes, great photography, good music and a surprise ending. What more do you want? It also bought some old memories back. I was amazed at the quality of production like special effects, camera angles, shooting locales, car chase, sky diving etc. SRK tries his best to fit the larger than life role of Don and does a good job. The women are just fillers. SRK is the movie.

For all the people out there who posted negative feedback and criticized the movie....Did you guys expect this to be an art movie? Have you seen how stupid the original Don is? Compared to the original this is a great improvement.

I think there is going to be a Don 2 coming soon.
