Mediocre
New director, cibi's movie Don is about a youngster's life journey from being a student to a successful professional, that is filled with comedy, love and dad sentiment.
I anticipated a typical SK movie in lines of comedy gold like Varuthapadatha V. Sangam and Rajinimurugan. But the movie turned out to be a disappointment.
The major flaw that I noticed is that the scenes are cut short i.e, editing is quick without breathing space like that of new age YouTube content creators. (May be to attract gen z) As a result SK's humour is affected exponentially. Now SK has an amazing natural sense of humour, and it has made wonders for him. But his style requires long shot scenes with a mix of timed dialogue delivery and body language, all working in tandem. If you make his scenes like YT shorts then definitely it's gonna look messy.
There is a general lack of flow in the movie, scenes doesn't seem to fit together, thus screenplay is affected.
Other thing is, dialogues are poorly written. I think if SK took care of the dialogue part himself, the movie would have been much better.
Last and final, please it's bloody 2022, why do you show a grown middle aged man as a school boy. We have witnessed this in Tamil cinema for ages. The movie 96 broke that trend and thus was realistic. In my opinion movie stars should embrace their age and act accordingly, they can easily refuse such impractical age roles.
In a nutshell, the movie is not that funny, and sentiment is as that of usual typical old-school Tamil cinema making it as an one time watchable movie suitable for teenagers only.
