Don can currently be found sitting on the Top 10 list in close to 80 countries, and it’s seized the number one spot in many of them. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, the story follows a cop seeking to take down the head of a local criminal empire by recruiting a double to infiltrate the gang, while the real deal is held by the authorities.
