Awesome. Whether you are a SRK fan or not, whether you have seen the original or not, whether you like it or not, I don't care - I loved Don and I think you will too!
Here's why:
1) SRK - he's the King of Bollywood, and Don once again shows you why! He is at his best - you simply cannot take your eyes off him when he is on screen. His attire is sexy - he looks super hot, and the scene at the end of the movie when he flips the cigarette butt, with the evil smile on his face - aah, sexy sexy sexy! The paan song sequence is cute, though he didn't really look like he was drunk on bhaang :) His fight scenes are very nicely done, too - and the jump from the plane - very nice!
2) Pinky Chops - sweet and sexy, she is really much better than the original Roma! Check her introduction scene... check her out when she stands atop the ambulance dressed in white biking gear..
3) The theme song - the ultimate for a super high feeling. Can't wait to blast it on my car speakers.... Mujhko pehechaan lo - main hoon Don!
4) The story - while it is closely based on the orginal Don, the twists added by Farhan Akhtar make this a completely different movie! Do not miss the end!
5) The fight sequences, the locales, the cars and the chases, the aeriel shots over Malaysia - very very slick, very different. Check the ambulance scene, the reverse car chase at the beginning of the movie, the jump from the plane, the end sequence... setting new standards in Indian action cinema, this makes the new Don a completely new experience from the bland original.
Boman could have been better used, Kareena is a waste, and so is Isha Koppikar. The Ganapati song is an unnecessary overhead, and parts of the movie start dragging when SRK and PC are off the screen - but all in all, it's a movie I want to see again and again and again.

Hmmm... I hear they're planning to come up with a sequel to this one..
Number one: Love the title track!
Number Two: I don't think there has been a flick where Kareena and Isha Kopikar were of any use! Arjun Rampal was pretty much useless too!
Number Three: Only SRK has the personality to pull off a role like this. No one. And I mean No One could have done it Better!
Number..er..N: (We will ignore the numbers now..When the count goes beyond three, it loses its effect..he he..)
Priyanka Chopra..Very very nice...Her introduction - Simply Awesome! The fight sequence against SRK, beautifully done! She can easily pull of a role in a Bond Movie!
OK - watched the movie today and loved it, really, for most of the reasons you mentioned!
For a change, I think I totally agree with you this time :-)
