Don- October 06 (institutional data)


Re-make of 1978 film- re-makes = not that common in industry, although re-makes of hollywood inspired films are.


  • Director/writer: Farhan Akhtar
  • (based on original screenplay)- Javed Akhtar
  • Producer: Ritesh Sidhwani
  • Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy

Company credits:

" Founded in 2002 as a film production house, Red Chillies Entertainment has branched itself into other spheres of production, starting from setting up a path breaking Special Effects studio, VFX, which brought Hollywood's slick sophistication to Indian cinema....................Don - The Chase Begins Again, won European accolades for Best Special Effects in 2006

  • Sound fx mix team: SoundFirm (Australia)- foreign sound post production facilities used. " Soundfirm, Australia's largest and most highly awarded sound post production company has produced award winning soundtracks for feature film, television drama series and television commercials for over twenty-two years"
  • Also used for: Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) ... Adr Recorded At & Mission: Impossible II (2000) ... Adr (as Soundfirm)
  • (PSP UMD disc - wider access for audience)
  • For their roles in the film, Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Arjun Rampal undertook a special martial arts training programme under the guidance of Shaolin Temple experts.- So lots of time, effort, exptertise spent to get film to international standards, something which older films lacked, lacked facilities, knowledge of techniques and maybe effort of crew who weren't motivated by international competition like they are in the global village of today.

Additional companies- overall 120 companies/ individuals credited and thanked
