Don is a 2003 Indian Kannada-language action drama film directed by P. N. Sathya and starring Shiva Rajkumar and Meghna Naidu.[1]

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

During the shooting of the film, a misinterpretation of the Tamil dialogues of the film crew led to them being mobbed by Bajrang Dal.[3]

Soundtrack[edit]

Release[edit]

The film was scheduled to release on 17 January 2003,[4] but the film ended up releasing a day earlier. Although the film was a box office success and ran for fifty days,[5] the film was not as big a success as it was thought to become.[6]

Reception[edit]

A critic from Viggy wrote that "Don is a must see movie for Shivanna's fans".[7] A critic from IndiaInfo wrote that "Apart from Shivaraj Kumar this film has nothing to offer".[8]
