Don 2: The King Is Back is a 2011 Indian Hindi language heist action thriller film written, co-produced and directed by Farhan Akhtar. It is the second installment in the Don reboot series. Jointly produced by Excel Entertainment and Red Chillies Entertainment, the film stars Shah Rukh Khan, alongside Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, Lara Dutta, Om Puri, Nawab Shah, Ally Khan, Sahil Shroff and Kunal Kapoor. A sequel to Don: The Chase Begins Again, Don (Khan), a powerful international drug lord, plans to steal currency printing plates from a bank in Berlin to take over the counterfeiting business in Europe, while Roma (Chopra) has joined Interpol to hunt him down.
The soundtrack of the film was composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, while Javed Akhtar penned the lyrics. Jason West served as the cinematographer, while the editing was handled by Anand Subaya. After the success of the first film, Akhtar had planned a sequel in 2010 which did not work out. It was then officially announced in early 2010, with filming scheduled to begin later that year. Principal photography took place in Berlin, where it was shot extensively.
Don 2 was released on 23 December 2011 in 2D and 3D formats, which also included dubbed versions in Telugu and Tamil languages. The film received positive reviews from critics with praise for its story, cinematography, production design, music, action sequences and cast performances. With a box office gross of over ₹202.81 crore (US$24 million), Don 2 became a commercial success and was the 3rd highest-grossing Hindi film of 2011.
Don 2 received a number of accolades across various ceremonies in India. At the 57th Filmfare Awards, Don 2 received 5 nominations in award categories including Best Film, Best Director (Farhan) and Best Actor (Khan), and won 2 awards – Best Action and Best Sound Design.
Five years after the events of Don, Don now plans to take over the European drug trade next. The European drug cartel bosses meet to discuss about killing Don as he is jeopardizing their business by undercutting their prices. Living in Thailand for the last five years, Don goes to a remote settlement to pick up a shipment of cocaine. Don gets cornered by his own associates, who reveal that they were offered a deal by the Europeans to have their cocaine from Asia open for sale in Europe. Don makes his way out by killing the men and destroying the entire settlement.
Don returns to Malaysia and surrenders to Detective Malik and Roma, who has now joined Interpol, where he is sentenced to death, sent to prison and soon meets his old rival Vardhaan. Vardhaan tries to exact revenge on Don for having him imprisoned but agrees to work together when Don offers him an opportunity to escape. Don and Vardhaan eventually break out by poisoning the other inmates. Don meets his trusted companion Ayesha and they retrieve a tape from a secret locker in Zurich whose key was under Vardhaan's possession. It shows J. K. Diwan, vice president of the Euro-printing DZB, paying Singhania to kill James Werden, the original choice for the bank’s president, so that Diwan's superior Fabian Kohl would get the post. Singhania was killed by Vardhaan five years earlier. Don blackmails Diwan into giving him the discs containing the bank's blueprints so that he can steal the printing plates. Diwan gives him blank discs and hires Abdul Jabbar, a deadly hit man.
Don escapes and bribes Jabbar to work for him instead. With no other choice, Diwan gives him the real discs. Roma and Malik arrive in Berlin and unsuccessfully interrogate Diwan, while Don and his team execute a bank robbery. After stealing the printing plates, Don is betrayed by Vardhaan and Jabbar, but Don, having anticipated this, escapes from the bank. Don's team member Sameer, whom Don met earlier to discuss his plans, calls the police on Don, who ends up being arrested. However, Don blackmails Diwan into giving him German immunity in exchange for erasing the evidence of him being involved in James Warden's death. Don negotiates with the Berlin Police and Interpol over surrendering the plates and a disc, which contains the details of the European underworld, in exchange for the safety of the hostages and defusing the bombs in the bank.
Don and Roma reach Vardhaan after a bloody combat with his thugs and find themselves in a standoff. Though ordered by Vardhaan and Jabbar - and Don - Roma is unable to kill Don and is shot by Jabbar in response; she still has feelings for him, but does not want to kill him illegally. Despite the setback, Don subdues Vardhaan and kills Jabbar. Following Vardhaan's arrest, Don obtains his immunity papers and surrenders the plates and the disc as agreed, while also getting Roma to an ambulance. Later, Don detonates a bomb planted in Diwan's car, killing Diwan and seemingly destroying the plates he had taken.
