Five Fan Favorite Movies by Om Puri That No One Will Forget

A sleek, stylish, saucy, action-packed movie full of thriller and a very appreciable attempt to reintroduce the movie with a slightly different storyline. Don is a fairly entertaining movie. The film being a remake is to draw a comparison with the original version which was a hit played by Amitabh Bachchan. Nonetheless, Farhan Akhtar’s Don is much more contemporary and stylish in look as compared to the original Don with added few twists and turns in the remake and the screenplay has been executed with perfection. The movie is about a person who is the key to every crime related to drug trafficking named DON. He is the man responsible for the day to day operation, the success of the illegal drug trade. However, while the business is running in its peaks an Interpol officer played by OM PURI comes up with the plan to infiltrate the business and expose don. The story resembles with the former don story but with some changes. Farhan Akhtar has come up with the technical up gradation and gave the movie a new heads up.

The movie is a remake of a former movie of Amitabh Bachchan and met with the expectations of the audience to some extent. The former movie created a humongous buzz around the public at the time of its release and created a benchmark at a very high level and only Amitabh Bachchan did the true justice with the character of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan. Hrithik did give his best and put all his effort while portraying the character but partly succeed as people expected a lot more. Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is out to avenge his father’s death at the hands of Kancha and reclaim the respect of his village, Mandwa. In the process, he becomes a criminal who uses powerful people to come up in the ranks. Karan has made loads of changes to the story and that’s absolutely fine the point where he fails the way the village of 1977 is portrayed feels quite outdated and the concept of a villain leading a military rule so close to a metro like Mumbai in the ’90s. Om Puri plays the role of Gaitonde the fearless commissioner of police who tried to expose the Drug trafficking and developed a soft corner for Vijay Dinanath Chauhan. Though there was not much of his character but still had a significant role which Om Puri did with elegance and with perfection.
