Don (1978 film) :: It became a box office success :: It has gained cult film status in India

Don is a 1978 Bollywood action film, produced by Nariman Irani and directed by Chandra Barot, with music by Kalyanji Anandji and lyrics by Anjaan. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, Pran, Iftekhar, Helen and Om Shivpuri, Satyen Kappu and Pinchoo Kapoor.It became a box office success.[1] It has gained cult film status in India.

Don (Amitabh Bachchan) is the leader of an underworld gang until Police Officer D'Silva (Iftekhar) tracks him down and in an attempt to catch him ends up killing him. But Don's death is only known to D'Silva. So Officer D'Silva tracks down a lookalike of Don named Vijay. Vijay impersonates Don to take down the rest of Don's gang while the DSP promises him that he will give a proper education to his wards who are actually the children of Jasjit (Pran).

Meanwhile, Jasjit comes out of prison after serving his jail term, only to find Officer D'Silva having a red diary that would show Vijay's true identity. Officer D'Silva is killed by Malik who is introduced as the Interpol officer, but is in fact the real king of the underworld. It's now a race to retrieve the diary in which the DSP has documented the substitution of the real Don with the innocent Vijay. One famous dialogue of movie is "Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin namumkin hai" (it is not just difficult to catch Don, but it is impossible)
Don begins, true to its title, as the story of one of the most powerful men in the business of crime, who in spite of being one of the most wanted on the list of Interpol, remains elusive to the police. Along with the police, Don makes a few other enemies through his merciless approach to running his organization, especially when he kills one of his own men, Ramesh, when Ramesh decides to leave the business. This introduces Don to two new enemies, Kamini (Helen), Ramesh’s fiancee, and Roma, (Zeenat Aman) Ramesh’s sister. When Kamini seduces Don and attempts to have the police arrest him, her plan backfires as Don outsmarts her and the police in his escape, and in the process Kamini loses her life.

A shattered, revenge-seeking Roma first trains in judo and karate, then enters Don’s gang after deceiving them into thinking that she too is on the wrong side of the law. Don is impressed with her fighting skills and allows her to work for him, without realizing her true intentions. Meanwhile, after a couple of unsuccessful attempts at nabbing Don, the police finally succeed, but Don dies during the pursuit, botching Officer D’Silva’s plan to reach the source of all crime—the man Don reported to—through capturing Don alive. D’Silva buries Don’s body, ensuring that people believe that he may still be alive. As luck would have it, D’Silva remembers his chance encounter with Vijay, a simpleton trying to survive in the hustle and bustle of Bombay in order to support two small foster children, who bears a striking resemblance to Don. D’Silva hatches a plan to transform Vijay into Don and place him back into the crime nexus, but this time as a police informer.

Around the time Vijay "returns" to Don's gang as Don under the guise of amnesia, Jasjit, just released from jail, begins his mission of revenge against D’Silva and his search for his children Deepu and Muni, who had been saved and taken care of by Vijay. Roma, hellbent on eliminating Don in order to avenge her brother’s death, is suddenly introduced to the fact that Don is dead and the man she is trying to kill is actually Vijay.

Meanwhile, as Vijay learns more and more about Don through his discovery of his diary and Roma’s help, he announces to his colleagues that his memory is back and meanwhile hands the diary over to D’Souza. Celebrations ensue, as Don announces his return to the world, but things take a drastic turn when the police raid the celebrations, and Vijay’s only witness to his true identity, D’Silva, dies in the crossfire.

Tangled in a web of confusion where the police refuse to believe that he is Vijay, whereas his underworld gang realizes that he is indeed not Don, Vijay becomes not only hated by the police, but also by Don’s right-hand man, Narang, and the rest of his gang. To add to Vijay’s woes, Don’s diary which he had handed over to D’Souza—his last hope of proving his innocence—is stolen by Jasjit in an attempt to track down his lost children, without realizing that Vijay is the one man who can reunite them. Vijay escapes the clutches of the police and the underworld with Roma’s help and returns to his old self though he struggles to prove his identity and innocence. The ending reveals a shocking twist in the tale where Vijay discovers who is truly on his side, and who is against him.

Behind the scenes :
Producer and cinematographer Nariman Irani was in a financial mess when his film Zindagi Zindagi (1972) starring Sunil Dutt flopped. He was in debt for Rs12 lakhs and couldn't pay it off on a cinematographer's salary. When he was doing the cinematography for Manoj Kumar's major hit Roti Kapada Aur Makaan (1974), the film's cast (Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, Pran) and crew (assistant director Chandra Barot) decided to help him out. They all recommended that he produce another film and that they will participate in the film. They all approached scriptwriting duo Salim-Javed, who gave them an untitled script that had already been rejected by the entire industry. The script had a character named Don. Bachchan would play Don, and Barot would direct the film. Aman and Pran would play key roles in the film.The film took three-and-a-half years to complete. Before filming was completed, producer Irani had an accident on the set of another film he was working on, and died as a result. Barot faced budget restraints but he got help.Aman did not take any money for her work in the film.Barot showed it to his mentor Manoj Kumar, who felt that the film was too tight and needed a song in the midst of the action-filled film, and so "Khaike Paan Banaraswala" was recorded. The film was released without any promotion on 12 May 1978 and was declared a flop the first week. Within a week, the song "Khaike Paan Banaraswala" became a big hit, and word of mouth spread, so by the second week, the film was also declared a big hit. The profits from the film were given to Irani's widow to settle her husband's debts.

Amar Akbar Anthony : It was the biggest blockbuster of 1977!!

Amar Akbar Anthony (Devnagari: अमर अकबर एन्थोनी) is a 1977 Bollywood film about three brothers separated during their childhood who grew up in three different homes, adopting three different religions. It was the biggest blockbuster of 1977 and has also won several Filmfare awards.

The film was directed by Manmohan Desai and starred three actors, of them included Amitabh Bachchan (as Anthony Gonsalves), Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor. Each of the three heroes had an affiliation with a heroine, which included Parveen Babi, Shabana Azmi and Neetu Singh. Nirupa Roy, Pran and Jeevan played supporting roles. The music was written by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Kishore Kumar sang for Amitabh Bachchan, and Mohammed Rafi sang for Rishi Kapoor. The soundtrack was one of Mukesh's last soundtracks with Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Anand Bakshi was the lyricist.

The film was later remade in two times: in Telugu as Ram Robert Rahim (1980)and in Malayalam as John, Jaffar, Janardhan.

Kishanlal (Pran), a chauffeur, takes the blame for a fatal hit-and-run accident committed by his mob boss employer, Robert (Jeevan), on the assurance that his family's income will be tripled and their welfare looked after. He returns from prison to find his wife Bharati (Nirupa Roy) suffering from tuberculosis and his three sons starving. Seeking help from Robert for the sake of his family, he is ridiculed, humiliated and repudiated, until he turns on Robert and tries to kill him. Making his escape, Kishanlal inadvertently takes a car containing a shipment of gold bullion. Robert's goons give chase.

Kishanlal goes home to rescue his family - only to find his wife's suicide note. Unbeknownst to him she fails, and is struck blind. He leaves his sons in a public park (at the foot of a statue of Ghandi) while he draws off the pursuing goons. In the car chase that follows he crashes, is thrown clear of the wreck, and discovers the gold. But by the time he returns to the park with his riches, his three children have vanished. They have been adopted by a Hindu policeman (Amar), a Muslim tailor (Akbar), and a Catholic priest (Anthony). In revenge, Kishanlal kidnaps Robert's daughter Jenny and raises her as his niece, meanwhile using the gold to destroy Robert and set himself up as mob boss.

Amar (Vinod Khanna) becomes a policeman like his adoptive Hindu father; the Muslim-raised brother Akbar (Rishi Kapoor) becomes a singer; the middle brother, Anthony (Amitabh Bachchan), is raised by a Catholic priest and becomes a likable, socially-conscious scamp who runs a quasi-legal bar and brewery and makes God his 'partner' by donating half his income to charity. The three meet when they donate blood for an accident victim, unaware that they are related - or that the recipient is actually their biological mother Bharati.

Their lives become entangled in an incredible web of unlikely coincidences and furious action sequences, interspersed with song, when Amar's adopted father is seriously wounded and Anthony's adoptive father, the priest, is murdered. In their pursuit of justice their paths cross until, combining efforts, they discover both the culprit and their mutual heritage.

In addition to the ongoing feud between Robert and Kishanlal, each son meets and courts - with greater or lesser difficulty - their love interests. When the grieving mother regains her sight, one by one the family is re-united until Robert, who caused their suffering, is imprisoned and the family united.

Naseeb : A Story Of Destiny And Fate!!!

Naseeb (Devnagari: नसीब, in English: Destiny) is an 1981 Hindi film produced and directed by Manmohan Desai. The film is a typical Manmohan Desai film with his regular star Amitabh Bachchan and a large cast, lavish sets, memorable music and the lost and found theme. The film also stars Hema Malini, Rishi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, Reena Roy, Kim, Pran, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Amrish Puri, Amjad Khan and Prem Chopra. The music is by the Manmohan Desai regulars Laxmikant Pyarelal. The film was very successful, earning Rs. 14.5 crore (US$ 3.23 million) at the box office.The film was later remade in Telugu as "Trimurthulu" (1987) with Daggubati Venkatesh.

Naseeb, a story of destiny and fate, begins with a lottery ticket. A drunk who cannot pay his tab trades his recently purchased ticket to the waiter, Namdev (Pran), instead. Namdev purchases this ticket with his three friends Damu (Amjad Khan), Raghu (Kader Khan) and Jaggi (Jagdish Raj) - and using a system of drawing out the highest card to decide who keeps the ticket - which Jaggi wins, the ticket stays with him. When the ticket turns out to be a winner, Damu and Raghu turn on the other two, murdering Jaggi and framing Namdev. Namdev goes on the run but Raghu and Damu intervene and throw him over a bridge into a river and Namdev is presumed dead. However he is rescued by a don (Amrish Puri) but no one is aware he is alive. Fast forward to ten years later - Damu and Raghu have used their stolen lottery money to build a fabulous hotel and make millions becoming very successful businessmen. Damu has used a share of his money to send his only son, Vicky (Shatrughan Sinha) to school in England. They have even employed Namdev's oldest son Johnny (Amitabh Bachchan), Vicky's best friend, as a waiter in the hotel. By coincidence (or by fate!) Johnny and Vicky who are the best of friends fall in love with the same beautiful singer, Miss Asha (Hema Malini). Julie (Reena Roy) is a childhood friend of Vicky's who is in love with Vicky, but he only sees her as a friend. When Johnny discovers this, he and Julie sacrifice their own love to ensure that Vicky and Asha get together. At the same time, John's younger brother Sunny (Rishi Kapoor) has fallen for Asha's younger sister, Kim (Kim). Kim and Asha also happen to be the daughters of Jaggi, the man Namdev supposedly murdered. Namdev returns soon after and plans to take revenge against Damu and Raghu for separating him from his two sons Johnny and Sunny. The lives of all these characters become interwined and Naseeb becomes a poignant story about love, friendship, sacrifice, deceit, revenge and above all, destiny. Naseeb set the trend for multistar song sequences like the "John, Janni, Janardan Tarra Rum pum" cameos by Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore, and Mala Sinha.

Agneepath : is a 1990 Bollywood film directed by Mukul S. Anand!!

It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Madhavi, and Rohini Hattangadi, with Danny Dengzongpa as the villain. It was produced by Yash Johar. The title was taken from a poem penned by Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Amitabh's father, and which is recited by the main character throughout the film. People have said it is a so-called copy of Al Pacino's Scarface, but it is not at all. Their thinking this is probably due to one scene which was similar to Al Pacino, but the storylines are completely different.

Bachchan and Chakraborty received the National Award for Best Actor and Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award respectively for their performances, and Hattangadi earned a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. It earned Rs. 172,491,040.

The film opens with a school master Dinanath Chauhan (Alok Nath) and his 10 year old son Vijay (Manjunath) watching the sunset over their village of Mandwa, India. Vijay innocently asks why their village becomes dark (there is no electricity) at night when the city (Mumbai) remains lit. The two carry on their morning walk with Dinanath teaching his son the poem Agneepath.Dinanath is a reformer. He runs a small school, leads a (rather weak) campaign to obtain electricity and infrastructure, and generally uplift the village. Unbeknownst to him, the village of Mandwa has been insidiously taken over by a powerful crime baron Kancha Cheena (Danny Denzongpa). Kancha uses the coastal village as a landing point for his contraband from abroad. The village must remain an unnoticed hamlet on the west coast of India, so Kancha opposes any move for improvement, and specifically intends to remove or eliminate Dinanath. Kancha buys off a local merchant Dinkar Rao (Goga Kapoor). Dinkar Rao stages a scandal where the upright Dinanath is lured to the town brothel, drugged, and found to be in bed with a local prostitute. The angry villagers lynch Dinanath before his wife Suhasini (Rohini Hattangadi) and his young children Vijay and Siksha. Suhasini and the children are forced to flee Mandwa. Young Vijay swears to avenge his father's death. They arrive, penniless and destitute, in Bombay. As is common for street children, Vijay becomes a bootblack. Vijay is polishing a rich man's shoes when he witnesses an attempt to assassinate Kancha Cheena. The assassins are hired by the rival dons Terelin (Sharat Saxena), Usman bhai (Avtar Gill) and Anna Shetty (Deepak Shirke). Some time after, when Suhasini applies for a job at a nearby gas station (owned by Kancha), some of Kancha's goons try to molest her. Young Vijay files a police complaint, but quickly realizes that the cops are in league with the thugs, and so Vijay decides to blow up the gas station. Vijay is hauled before the senior Inspector Gaitonde (Vikram Gokhale). Gaitonde is a good cop and tries to get Vijay off the streets. But Vijay asks why the cops did not act, for their failure forced Vijay to take matters into his own hands; and Gaitonde is simply unable to answer. Some 25 years later, Vijay has grown (played by Amitabh Bachchan) to become a don in his own right. He sits before Gaitonde (now a police commissioner). When asked his name, Vijay replies: "Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, poora nam, maa ka naam Suhasini Chauhan, gaon Mandwa" This becomes Vijay's tagline and is repeated throughout the movie.

Gaitonde, still sympathetic towards Vijay, urges him to give up crime. Vijay asks why. He has risen from utter poverty, fought through a hard and bitter world, and become a wealthy don; the system (including several corrupt cops) has failed him entirely; and why must Gaitonde, who is unable to eliminate corruption in his own house, speak to Vijay of law, order and a just society? Vijay points out that for all of Gaitonde's efforts, the cops have no real evidence (yet another failing of the system) to prosecute him. Gaitonde resignedly warns Vijay of danger and death at every turn. Vijay retorts that he knows who his enemies are, whereas Gaitonde must forever be subject to an irrecoverably failed system. This interchange forms an important theme in the film where a such a society will produce Vijays. Vijay arrives next at a gathering of the dons Terelin, Usman bhai and Shetty and tells them that he knows of their plan to assassinate him. He tells them that he won't run away and will take their bullets head on. If he dies they get everything but if he survives it's him all the way. As he expected, they attempt to assissinate him; they are stunned when he bares himself and invites them to shoot him at point blank range; they shoot him nonetheless and leave him to die. Vijay is rescued by a comical coconut seller, Krishnan Iyer MA (Mithun Chakraborty). The dons try to kill him in the hospital, but he is again saved by Krishnan, and nursed back to health by Nurse Mary Matthew (Madhavi). Vijay appoints Krishnan as a bodyguard for Siksha (Neelam).

Vijay faces another battle on the personal front. His mother Suhasini strongly disapproves of his life of crime, and wishes him to follow Dinanath's noble footsteps. Vijay grows apart from his mother and seeks a shoulder with Mary; their association blossoms into a relationship and they marry. Mary gives birth to a baby boy. Around this time, Siksha develops an affection for Krishnan; Vijay is initially okay with this, but discovers that Siksha wishes to lead a normal life and must inevitably distance herself from Vijay. As a result of the alienation from his mother, and drifting apart with Siksha, Vijay's family life with Mary suffers. He gradually becomes uncomfortable with his status as a crime don.

Realizing Vijay's growing stature on the crime scene, Kancha arranges a meeting. Vijay arrives at Kancha's beachfront home. Vijay demands a piece of the action at Mandwa. Unaware of Vijay's identity, Kancha agrees, but with a warning to never try to cross Kancha. Vijay arrives in Mandwa (where Dinkar Rao is now the de facto mayor). Vijay stages a reverse controversy. He applies police pressure on Dinkar Rao until Dinkar Rao signs over the town deeds; Vijay immediately reveals this two-faced deal to the villagers who promptly proceed to lynch Dinkar Rao. Vijay stands over a dying Dinkar Rao and reveals his identity. Kancha arrives on the scene. But Vijay has already turned Kancha's assistant Laila; it is revealed that Laila is the illegitimate daughter of the prostitute used to frame Dinanath Chauhan, and that Laila has always aspired revenge on Kancha. The cops show up (as planned by Vijay). Laila produces critical evidence (collected over her years as Kancha's assistant) whereupon the cops swiftly arrest Kancha and take him away as Vijay utters his tagline. Having thus accomplished his purpose, Vijay decides to retire from crime, returns to his mother and asks her to move back with him to a peaceful life in Mandwa.

In the meantime, Kancha pulls some strings and escapes from prison. Laila is gunned to death before she can give evidence. All of vijay's trusted men are attacked and end up in the hospital. Taking advantage Kancha moves to Mandwa, forcibly takes over the town, abducts Suhasini and Siksha, and has Krishnan shot by a drive-by shooter. Vijay reaches the town and is challenged by Kancha to try and save his entire family. Vijay runs through the flames to attack Kancha and is joined by Krishnan. After a long and violent battle, Kancha is killed and Vijay is mortally wounded. Vijay returns to his mother and recites, with his dying breath, the poem Agneepath. Suhasini is mortified to understand why Vijay initially chose crime, and why things came to such a pass to achieve redemption. The film ends with Vijay, now forgiven and redeemed, gently passing away in his mothers lap.

The main character, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan (played by Amitabh Bachchan) was heavily based on Surve, with Bachchan even copying the gangster's voice.

The music playing in the background while Vijay Chauhan is traveling in the car in Mauritius is Mory Kante's "Yé ké yé ké". The background score of the film is copied from French composer Jean Michel Jarre's Rendez-Vous album's "Second Rendez-Vous" and "Third Rendez-Vous".

Amitabh Bachchan: Online strategy for ‘Teen Patti’.

Latest released Big B movie, I would like to review is:Teen Patti:

The recently released film ‘Teen Patti’, is receiving mixed reviews from all quarters. Some are writing it off as a confused concoction of the gambling dens and the magic of mathematics. There are views too, that it is an experience to see the two stalwarts of cinema, Ben Kingsley and Amitabh Bachchan together.

Whatever be the reaction from various sources, Big B is not one to give up that easy. The biggest name in bollywood is busy promoting the film online. There are reports that Portals Ibibio’s ‘Teen Patti’ is an online game. It is the original version card game flush. The Indian version is called ‘Teen Patti’.Amitji has been going online to play the game, so that it makes people develop an interest in the movie. Playing a mathematician in the film Amitji delves into the world of casinos and gambling thereby getting more deeply entangled into the dark world.

In order to high light the bad influence of such daring games the film is surely going to make people think twice before delving into this world .Take what it may, when it comes to promoting films, our stars leave no stones unturned, including the greatest amongst them Amitji. Bollywood thy name is professionalism!
