Major Loop Hole


See In The End We See Don Telling anita that there wasn't anything on the disk in the first place , but then what was the info that jasjit saw in the disk when he took it from desilva's apartment and thought he could sell it for millions , we can say thatthere wasnt anything on the disk as in before the scene where narang introduces roma to don , don is seen deleting something off his mac , and that was before taking the disk out of it. EXPLAIN IF IM WRONG
COZ I REALLY LOVE THA MOVIE BUT THIS THING BOTHERS ME SO BLUDDY MUCH

I remember Don telling anita that the disk he gave DeSilva was useless, so I assumed he kept the original - that is, he got it from jasjeet and kept it, and gave a similar looking useless one to desilva in the finale. that's what i remember at least, hope it helps :)

OR.....don stuffed fake info in the disc.

reply

double 7007's reply is the most apt one... although in the movie he says there was nothing on that disc ever, I assume he was referring to the disc that was handed over to the Police.

Its all left on the viewer's assumption...

The INDIAN police were not giving treatment to Don/Vijay - that was a Vardhan/DCP DeSilva one man operation - so he could send Vijay in as Don. The police were unaware that Don had survived the encounter. How do you know the plane had no bathroom? They do not make planes like that, people can puke and get sick even in a 15 minute flight. Maybe watching the film more closely would have helped.

Sorry, I don’t know who you are replying to since that message has since been deleted. I just want to confirm that they even showed the male and female figures on the door during the plane fight scene, so whoever thought the plane had no bathroom was wrong.

i think the bigger loop hole was when they were carting "Don" off to jail, in a location that was, and I quote: "5 miles off shore".

Considering the fact that "Don" was captured in Mumbai, 5 miles offshore should not have been that long of a flight, unless they decided to fly the long way - around the world!

reply

He was not captured in Mumbai at all. That part of the movie is set in Malaysia. And no matter what the distance if you fly you have to reach an altitude and then come down, that takes time. You can add take off and landing windows to that.

The exact words are - 5 miles from the coast of Malaysia is an Island with a high security prison. But KL itself is more than 20 miles inland from the coast!

Was he trying to recruit Kamini? I thought his intentions were less "professional"! And Roma came with credentials of killing cops.

Was Ramesh shown to be that close to Don? IN fact the only person close to Don was Anita, and Narang was shown to be his second in command. When was Ramesh close to Don in the film? He shows us with a group that Narang brings to the beach. In fact Mac is closer and around Don a lot more than even Narang. So is Don shown to have any interest in the sisters, girl friends of Mac or Narang?

Of course Don needed to verify Roma's credentials of having killed two cops. So who told him that? Narang and another gang member who were eye witnesses to the "cop killing". What else would be needed to verify and who would you believe more than your second in command?

Roma was never recruited as a top lieutenant. That position was occupied by Narang and Anita continued to be the second in command and more trusted than even Narang.

What technical parts were screwed up?

reply

well my answer to all this is that the movie does not try to look upon how a gangster operates logically. It is part of the old movie. if such things were repaired than than Roma would've never joined the gang and the movie would've neve moved forward.

I never bothered about analyzing that - clearly that was a special effects thing and it seemed okay to me. But maybe I'll take another look.

reply

how come DON knows that kid (Arjun rampals) wen he hasnt seen him at all....

reply

He was waiting and the kid made the first move and called out to him.

'A wed wose, how womantic'

reply

You can actually see Don's hesitation when he goes to visit Dipu in the school, before the kid calls out for him (or rather for Vijay). Maybe one doesn't pay attention to that on the first watch...

reply

Us disk mein kabhi kuch nahi tha

The word kabhi is still bothering me.

reply

Maybe he changed the disc? The one he destroyed wasn't the same where he had saved the information. Since he was Don all along, he probably would have given false information to the police to begin with. On the other hand it had to seem real enough so he wouldn't be suspected as he was supposed to be Vijay...

reply

some got it right, DON was talking about the dick which he gave to mallick and then used it as bait to get vardhaan, the REAL disk he retrived from jasjit, and probably hid it or copied it... obviously the disk jasjit had WAS REAL or don wont have bothered

heck he was about to walk off when he had the disk from jasjit, he only stopped when he was told desilva was still alive and was vardhaan his old and very dangerous enemy...

I think what he means by the statement, "us disk mein kabhi kuch tha hi nahin" is that THAT specific disk that he gave to the police didn't have any useful information. "kabhi kuch tha hi nahin" referring to the fact that the disk was useless [i think one could take this to mean either that it's useless or that it was empty, but, i think the context it was used with was that it's useless]

reply

After the escape from the plane,why Don act as vijay.He didn't need the disc because he know it doesn't have anything in it.He didn't know Verdhan exist or not.Singhania is dead.So why dont he return as Don right after the escape like he did in the climax ?

reply

A good question. Well, I hope my answer will help. First of all, the disk that Jasjit had was real. It had all the information about Don's gang and their activities.

Yes, the thing about the disk is somewhat a loop hole. But you can take it like this. The disk that Jasjit had was real. He was planning to sell it to Roma. If you remember right, Don barges into Jasjit's place and threatens his 4nd at gun-point to tell him where the disk was. If the disk was fake, Don had no reason to barge into Jasjit's place.

He thought he could create a fake copy to give to the police so that he could walk free. That was his plan. After he meets Jasjit, Don gets the disk from him, creates a copy with fake information and gives it to Malik in the end.

If you remember, Anita asks him "The disk which you gave to the police..." and Don interrupts her saying, "It was fake. There was nothing in it".. You don't have to be Einstein to figure out that he was referring to the disk which he gave to the POLICE, not the disk that Jasjit had.

reply

ur explanation is unclear.what's the deal with disc.if Don dont want to give real disc to police why he gave it to DCP in the first place.What Don really need.Police see the information in disc or not.

In the climax what Don says to anitha is "its fake.there was nothing in it in ANYTIME".

reply

"if Don dont want to give real disc to police why he gave it to DCP in the first place"

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind when I said that the thing about the disc is "somewhat a loophole"!!

The disc which he gave to the police was definitely fake, as this fact is re-established in Don 2. If you have watched Don 2, Don's intention was to be a free man with no police on his trail. This is exactly what he tried to do in Don 1. If after escaping from the airplane, he got back to Anita like in the climax, the police would still be after him and he has to be on the run, as always. The police would be on a nation-wide alert. Don had no way out except to continue his act as the simpleton Vijay and try to prove his "innocence" to the police who are forever on his trail, by giving the disc which supposedly contains all information about Don's gang, their activities and contacts.

Thus, he approaches Roma. After getting to know that the disc is with Jasjit, he tries getting the disc from him(If it was real, he makes a duplicate, but let's just assume that even the disc Jasjit has is a fake, with wrong information to put the police off his trail). He gets to know about Vardhaan.

Now it's time for the finale. Don defeats Vardhan in a fight, hands him over to the police and give Inspector Malik the disk that supposedly has complete information about Don's gang and their contacts. Everything goes according to Don's plan. The moment he hands over the disc to Malik, he is a free man and the police will only think that he was the paan-chewing simpleton Vijay while all along it was in fact the clever and dangerous Don.

Don's only mistake is when he says "Mujhe jangli billiya bahoot pasand hai", which gives away his identity to Roma, who warns Malik. If he had not said that, no one would have known Don was alive and hence he would have been a free man, just like he wanted, which he wouldn't have achieved if he had got back to Anita after escaping from the plane.

But Don's slip reveals his identity and once again, the police are after him, leading to the events in Don 2.

I hope this explanation is clear.

reply

Don wanted Singhania to be arrested or killed as he never liked being the 'Jack' of then 'King' Singhania but the 'King' himself. DCP will arrest Singhania only for a disk with info.. and not a blank disk. So First thing's first!

Don wanted to eliminate Sighania... escape as Vijay and then get the dis... may be killing DCP later. But everything changed when DCP gets killed.

reply

Actually Don's ego hurts when he found out from Jasjit that DCP Desilva is alive and he was Vardhan all along and he didnt see that coming.. so he changed his plan right away and u can see Anita gets call from right after that scene ... So he now wanted to beat Vardan and take over Asia drug world as Don to show Vardan that he get played by his own game :D.... He created the fake disk as he said and he postponed his freeman plan which he replaned in Don 2... thats all i can get :P

reply

He gave a fake disk to the Police, he kept the Original disk for himself. Before Police knew that it was a fake disk, he had already escaped in the Ambulance.

" we can say thatthere wasnt anything on the disk as in before the scene where narang introduces roma to don , don is seen deleting something off his mac"


First he removes the disk from the Macdrive. Later puts the disk in the case, and later deletes the original files on Mac. So there is only one copy of the data, that is the Disk he has.
