And yes, Hrithik is in the film as part of the Berlin dance sequence. I am not going to tell you anything more at all. You have to see the film to catch his mind-blowing cameo. People in the UK and abroad are loving it and saying that it "puts Ra.One to shame." Let's see what you think.

I thank everyone who contributed to this review and we all know that reaching a consensus is the best way to review a film. 

 This zippily edited sequel to a 2006 Indian hit is not the least bit coy about its intentions: the young criminal kingpin Don (Shah Rukh Khan, left) is back, and “now my target is Europe!” Soon enough, after a prison escape art-directed within an inch of its colorful life, he’s hatching a grand plan to rob a Berlin bank of its euro printing plates. The lovely Roma (Priyanka Chopra) and her wise mentor (the great Om Puri) are on his trail, though, and he can’t trust his partners. It’s indeed an impossible mission (Don even uses a peel-away mask) in the jokey spirit of Danny Ocean.

David Dewitt, New York Times: The director, Farhan Akhtar, seems out to create a spectacular, international entertainment with “Don 2,” in a mix of Hindi and English and a dollop of German. And thanks to the unpretentious humor, he is mostly successful, though audiences will have to forgive the bland performances. Not the actors’ fault, really; when a cocky chuckle (Mr. Khan) or determined lips (Ms. Chopra) are your only character bits, you don’t have much character to explore. Only Kunal Kapoor, as a more sympathetic colleague of Don’s, has human moments. They’re almost out of place; subtlety is one language this playful film doesn’t speak.
