It is rare to see stars to come out and announce to the world that their films are doing quite well. It is further rare to see someone of the stature of SRK doing so. But then even the superstars change rules when 99% of media is hell bent of proclaiming their films a washout, when the reality is far from true.

By now it is quite clear that 'Don' is dong exceedingly well in both overseas and India and though the reviews for the film haven't been too flattering, audience has by and large given this 'Don-with-a-twist' a Thumbs Up. No wonder King Khan is elated.

"It has been 5 days since the film released and the collections are out for everyone to have a look. There are hardly any centers where the film is still not doing 100% collections and for a film that was panned on day one, it is heartening to see the collections sustain", he said with his tongue firmly in cheek in a TV interview.

On being asked about the future prospects of 'Don', he said that he had full belief that his Muslim brothers would further make the film a big money spinner since it's Idd time and everyone is in a festive mood. He also added with a smile that since most of the country gets a bonus during this season, they love to get entertained and what better way to be entertained than watch a film with a family.

He also had his reasoning when asked about the harsh reviews and some negative publicity that the film had garnered. He said, "See, I have now around 20 years experience behind me when it comes to TV and films and hence I have got used to such feedback. Anyways my films have always garnered 'mixed reviews'. I think intelligent people haven't really jumped with joy by watching 'Don' but those who just want to have fun without worrying too much about anything else; they are indeed enjoying themselves."

SRK was at his characteristic best when asked to choose his favorite between Chandra Barot's 'Don' and Farhan Akhtar's 'Don'. He said, "When Farhan, Riteish and me decided to make 'Don', the idea was simple - to present something to today's generation which they have missed from the past. In this way, for the purpose of a remake, Barot's 'Don' is our favorite. But when it comes to doing something for the current generation to give them a contemporary film that they would enjoy most, Farhan's 'Don' is our favorite."
