After watching Dil Chahta Hai, I was compelled to watch another movie from either the cast or the producer. I decided to watch Don: The Chase Begins Again. This is supposedly a remake of the film Don from 1978. Amitabh Bachan played Don in this original movie. The new Don movie was made by Farhan […]

Secularism a defining characteristic of the film Amar, Akbar, Anthony. The era in which this movie was made was a time of a lot of political disturbances especially after Indira Gandhi declared India to be in a state of emergency and established temporary dictatorship.
