Saw this incredible movie of Amitabh Bachchan as DON.The plot is too good and the songs are well sung and directed. "DON" was released in 1978 and was the Chandra Barot's maiden and only film as a Director.The producer nariman Irani had died before the completion of the movie and it was dedicated to him.
I was particularly impressed by the song " Khaike Paan Banaras waala" (sung by kishore kumar), the expressions and dance of amitabh bachchan and the lyrics of the song are a must watch.The movie was way ahead of its time in terms of the typical Bollywood movies made then. Here are some of the dialogues:
"Don ko pakadna mushkil hii nahin, namumkin hai." - Don(punchline)
English: "It is not only difficult to catch Don, it is impossible"
"Mujhe pata hai kii pistol mein goli nahin hai, tumhe pata hai kii pistol mein goli nahin hai, par police ko nahin pata kii pistol mein gole nahin hai" -Don to Kamini
English: "I know there are no bullets in the revolver, you know that there are no bullets in the revolver, but the police doesnt know that that there are no bullets in the revolver"
It remains one of the most influential cult films of all times.
The movie has been remade this year by the Original Don's scriptwriter, Javed Akhtar's son Farhan
Akhtar.It has Shahrukh Khan playing as the Don.I am very excited about the movie.
