06 Apalak C One of the best movies of Amitabh Bachchan. This movie, released in 1978, become the third highest grossing movie of India. Great performances from Amitabh, Pran and Iftikar. A must watch for crime thriller masala movie lovers. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Audience Member I really liked this one. It showed its age in a good way, but that was part of why I liked it so much. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Superb !!!! Watch Amitabh Bachchan as the original Don !! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost 4, but -.5 because of the guy who had the cane, yet backflips Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member DON (1978) the original starring Big B (Amitabh Bachchan). Classic of Indian cinema. Very stylish for its day - the music, sets, costumes and cars - 1970s through and through. A bit dated now. The songs are fun - especially YE MERA DIL and KHAIKE PAAN - both were redone in the 2006 remake starring Shah Rukh Khan. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member i don't actually remember much as i haven't seen it again later but definitely a classic bollywood mafia crime movie. excellent performance, thrilling and classy. superb story and well written. Two thumbs up. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
