![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This battle of wits is interspersed with a few moments of romance between Don and Angayarkanni (Priyanka Mohan, okayish), which is sometimes cute and at times cringey. The moves and counter-moves that the two come up with to bring down the other results in quite a few fun moments, like the episode when Boomi arranges a parent-teacher meeting with Don's father or when Don manages to put the teachers in the students' shoes. Yes, we see how calculated this approach is, which makes Don less of a coming-of-age story and more of a commercial entertainer (suitably, cinematographer KM Bhaskaran fills the frames with colours), but the director manages to succeed.įor the most parts, the film is built around the conflict between Chakaravarthi, the college's Don, and Boomi, and Sivakarthikeyan and SJ Suryah's lively performances make these portions come alive. ![]() He smartly divides the film into two halves - the first-half for the youth, the second-half for the family audience. With this Santhosh Subramaniam-meets-Nanban set-up, debutant director Cibi Chakaravarthi makes it possible for him to play to both the younger and older crowd. Adding to his misfortune is Boominathan (SJ Suryah), a faculty member in the college, who is even more of a disciplinarian than his dad!

Don Movie Synopsis: A youngster who is still figuring out what his passion is gets into an engineering college where he clashes with a disciplinarian faculty member.ĭon Movie Review: Given that his strict father (Samuthirakani), or as he describes him, the "sirappana tharamana villain" in his life wants him to study hard, Chakaravarthi (Sivakarthikeyan), the protagonist of Don, decides that he'd rather make a name for himself without really studying. ![]()
