Don Movie Review

Given that his stern father (Samuthirakani), or the “sirappana tharamana villain” in his life, wants him to study hard, Chakaravarthi (Sivakarthikeyan), the protagonist of Don, decides he’d rather establish a reputation for himself without actually learning. The film is about whether or not this young man can find out what he wants to accomplish with his life while attending an engineering college. Boominathan (SJ Suryah), a college faculty member who is even stricter than his father, adds to his sorrow.

With this Santhosh Subramaniam-meets-Nanban setup, debuting filmmaker Cibi Chakaravarthi is able to appeal to both younger and older audiences. He cleverly divides the film into two sections, the first for the youth audience and the second for the family audience. Yes, we can see how planned this technique is, making Don less of a coming-of-age drama and more of a commercial entertainer (appropriately, cinematographer KM Bhaskaran floods the frames with colors), but the director succeeds.

The majority of the film revolves around the rivalry between Chakaravarthi, the college’s Don, and Boomi, and Sivakarthikeyan and SJ Suryah’s energetic performances bring these scenes to life. The moves and counter-moves that the two devise to bring down the other result in a number of amusing moments, such as when Boomi arranges a parent-teacher meeting with Don’s father or when Don manages to put the teachers in the shoes of the pupils. This battle of wits is peppered with a few moments of romance between Don and Angayarkanni (Priyanka Mohan, who is okayish).

Things veer towards sentimentality in the final act and come perilously near to treacherous melodrama, which is tonally off from the lighthearted tone we’ve been getting up to that point, but happily, it doesn’t destroy the film. However, the emotions evoked in these scenes do not feel well-earned as it attempts to pass off destructive parenting as a type of ‘untold love.’ While the phrase about parents figuring out how to raise their child via trial and error is true, it’s difficult to trust the film’s attempts to transform Don’s father into an attractive figure, given the way the character treats his son up until that point.

Nonetheless, the cast pulls it off. Sivakarthikeyan is a fantastic fit for this part, even selling the school scenes, and it is his honest portrayal in the climax (the real-life similarities contribute to the effectiveness) that truly elevates it. SJ Suryah excels in a role that could easily have become caricatured (like Sathyaraj’s character in Nanban). In the first half, the minute shifts in his expressions add to the hilarity. And Samuthirakani’s lets us overlook his character’s last-minute makeover. The remainder of the supporting cast — Soori as Chakaravarthi’s relative, Bala Saravanan, Vijay and Sivaangi as his buddies, Aadhira Pandilakshmi as his mother — is strong, though the subplot featuring Raju and Shariq as Chakaravarthi’s college competitors feels forced. One also wishes that the director had found a way to include Angayarkanni’s father — a wonderfully genteel cop — in the last sections of the film, given how he is used for some pleasant moments early on.

Finally, Cibi Chakaravarthi’s conviction and Anirudh’s vivid score take the picture over the finish line, ensuring that the film remains mostly engaging despite the rather formulaic presentation of this material (it is definitely influenced by films from the early 2000s).
