Trivia:
Director Chandra Barot got the idea of making Amitabh eat 40 paans from Anandji (of Kalyanji-Anandji fame). He used to eat a lot of paan and so had a red film on his lips. They didn't realize the chunna was not necessary to get the red lips and Amitabh was in pain for days as the chunna burnt his lips. more

There's not much to explain about the story of "Don", which probably EVERYONE knows about by now, right? It may not be a GREAT story...but none the less the movie is just totally entertaining ~ you watch Amitabh perform from a totally COOL-evil bad guy to a goofy paan-eating guy and trust me, it's impossible not to adore the man. He's just so COOL! His stunts rock too.
Though I usually can't stand Zeenat Aman, in this movie she got such awesome clothing, and an awesome hairstyle topped with a really COOL role. Pran is also the regular COOL guy, about just as COOL as Amitabh, which is why it rocks to see them together on screen as usual.
Pretty much everyone else in the movie played their roles well.
And I have to mention Kalyanji-Anandji who were behind all of the totally COOL music throughout the movie. The background music and songs are made to match the COOLNESS of the movie :-D. Lata, Kishore, and Asha at their ultimate COOL.
So watch this COOL movie so I can stop using the word COOL so much hehe. Khaike Paan Banaras Wala!
