History Film / DonTheChaseBeginsAgain

A 2006 UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} film, and Farhan Akhtar's remake of [[Film/{{Don|1978}} the 1978 film]] starring Creator/AmitabhBachchan. This version stars Creator/ShahRukhKhan, Creator/PriyankaChopra and Creator/KareenaKapoor. Follows the conflict between an Indian drug lord's lieutenant (a man known as Don), and his arch-rival; the cop DCP De Silva. After Don's death, De Silva replaces him with his lookalike Vijay in order to dismantle the drug cartel. Two other subplots involve Jasjit (who was screwed over by De Silva) and Roma (who was screwed over by Don.) [[EverybodyWasKungFuFighting Many many action scenes ensue]].

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Unlike the original, Don kills his good doppelgänger Vijay, pretends to be him for the rest of the movie and gets away with it.]]

* HandicappedBadass: Jasjit, despite having a damaged kneecap and requiring a cane to walk, can beat down D'Silva in an ambush and fight Don to a stalemate.

* ImprovisedWeapon: Jasjit often uses his cane as a melee weapon.

** ''Aaj Ki Raat'' as Roma taunts Anita. [[spoiler:In truth it turns out that Anita and Don are mocking Roma and it seems incredibly obvious on rewatches.]]

* MrViceGuy: Viljay chews ''paan'', an addictive stimulant, and is forced to give it up when he becomes Don.
* MsFanservice: The camera lingers on Roman during a WalkingSwimsuitScene, and her dresses in the musical numbers show off her figure.

* HandicappedBadass: Jasjit, despite having a damaged kneecap and requiring a cane to walk, can beat down D'Silva in an ambush and fight Don to a stalemate, using his cane as a weapon.

* GreenEyedMonster: Anita doesn't react well to Don's interest in Roma,[[spoiler: despite knowing the truth of his plans.]]

* WouldntHitAGirl: Subverted in the first five minutes when Don punches a rival's henchwoman in the face.

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: [[spoiler:Roma realizes Vijay has been Don all along when he says "I like wildcats." Slight subversion because he fully meant for her to realize it and revealed this information when there was nothing she could do about it.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Unlike the original, Don kills his good doppelganger Vijay and pretends to be him for the rest of the movie and gets away with it.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: The camera lingers on Roma in a swimsuit.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: ''Yeh Mera Dil'' functions as this.

* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl: Averted. Roma's shown training, so her martial arts skills don't come as much of a surprise.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Don.
* GambitPileup: The climax, during which everyone's plots collide.
* HonorBeforeReason: Averted completely. Everyone fights dirty.
* IAmSong: Quite literally. ''Main Hoon Don'' = "I am Don."

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Don and Anita.]]

* CompositeCharacter: In the original 1978 film, [[spoiler:DCP D'Silva and the BigBad Vardhaan Makhija are separate characters. Here, both are one and the same and D'Silva is his false identity.
]]

* StuffedIntoTheFridge:
** Kamini. In a mild subversion it's Roma who chooses to avenge her. In fact, Kamini was also attempting to avenge her fridged boyfriend.
** Played straight with the death of Jasjit's wife, Geeta.
