    IMDB wrote:
    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.Read More »

Meanwhile, Slade Wiley, an unscrupulous contractor, has won the bid on a contract to build the underwater Newford Tunnel. Discovering that his low bid is causing him to lose large amounts of money, Wiley conspires with underworld leader Nick Buller to detonate a series of explosions that will panic the stockholders into selling their shares at ridiculously low prices, thus enabling Wiley to gain control of the stock.
