The overly long Don 2 falls short on two key points -- the screenplay and Khan's performance.

It's a slick journey across Thailand, Malaysia, Switzerland and Germany which even manages to refer to the current Euro crisis.

Director Farhan Akhtar's skill at creating slickness is by now such a given, that you'd notice only if it was absent. But creating excitement, the kind of thrill-a-minute, edge-of-the-seat stuff this kind of a film needs, is missing.

SRK gets to play the bad boy again in DON 2 and that can be fun at times. But overall, this overly long Indian OCEAN’S ELEVEN meets MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE offshoot is just a bit too bland.
