Essential Hindi popular cinema classic and a pioneer entry of the 1970’s Indian crime films. This is the breakthrough film of superstar Amitabh Bachchan, seen here in his “angry young man” persona for the first time. The people behind this was Salim-Javed, a screenwriting team who were responsible for bringing in a hardhitting socially-slanted style in Hindi cinema, penning such classics as Deewar, Sholay and Trishul.

The plot is a revenge story in the mould of the spaghetti western Death Rides a Horse, with Bachchan witnessing the murder of his parents as a child, and a chain on the murderer’s wrist acting as a flashback device…

When ruthless Don (Amitabh Bachchan) is killed by the police, the DSP (Iftekhar) is afraid that another “Don” will take over when the rest of the gang come of know of his death, so he, unbeknown to the rest of the police force, recruits Don’s look-alike Vijay (also Amitabh Bachchan) to become the real Don. Vijay is, at first reluctant, but when promised that two children he is caring for, will be looked after and educated, he agrees. He is successfully re-located back with his gang by feigning injuries, and loss of memory. He soon recuperates. Then fate takes an unexpected turn when the DSP is killed and Vijay becomes the suspect; his role as the Don ends, as his gang comes to know he is a fraud; Vijay must run for his life – both from the police and Don’s gang – for his life, and the life of the two children.
