Storyline
A ruthless gangster named Don is killed during a scuffle with the police. Since only DSP Desilva knows of this incident, he recruits another person named Vijay who is a spitting image of Don. Vijay is planted in Don's place in Don's gang and DeSilva has a plan to nab the entire gang in this way. But when Desilva dies during a raid, the secret that Vijay is not Don is also buried with him. Now Vijay is on the run - from the police and the criminal gang - and has to find the last piece of evidence to prove his real identity before it is too late. Written by Soumitra

In its music, its choreography, this film is quite kitsch, but it emphasizes the comic aspect. The script and dialogue do a great job of making it fun, and some shots are pretty innovative for a 1970s film.
Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by Don.
