The film included five songs sung by various singers, such as Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Overall, the film was one of the popular films of Bollywood. Don is a film based on the character Don/Vijay, played by Amitabh Bachchan. Don is the leader of an underworld gang, as well as the most wanted criminal by the Indian police. Don is a very powerful and controlling criminal. When Don finds out that a member of his gang (Ramesh) is deciding to leave his gang, he kills him. Ramesh's murder then causes two new enemies for Don. Roma (Ramesh's sister) and Kamini (Ramesh's boyfriend) both plan to seek revenge for Ramesh's murder. Kamini makes a first attempt to trap Don and hand him over to the police by seducing him. Unfortunately, Don kills Kamini and escapes from the police. However, the plot changes when Don is murdered during a confrontation with the police. Don dies in the backseat of the DSP's car and since only the DSP knows about this accident, he hastily buries Don in a cemetery. The plot advances when DSP discovers a person named Vijay, who resembles Don. Vijay is a common man, who takes care of two parentless children. DSP trains Vijay to look exactly like Don, so that he can find key information and imprison people associated with the underworld. On the other hand, Roma is not aware of Vijay's identity, therefore, assuming that C...... middle of paper ...... has a different beat. The first antara then leads to a small instrumental break where dholak and ghungroo play. The antara then continues without an instrument and is in alap form. Finally, the mukhdra is the outro of the song and slowly fades away to the accompaniment of dholak and ghungroo. Thus, through Kishore Kumar's extraordinary voice, the song reaches the hearts of the listening audience. To conclude, in my opinion, this movie is notable for its unique songs. Don's music composer Kalyanji Ananadji has created amazing songs. He used a combination of Indian and Western instruments to enhance his songs. For example, in the song "Jiska Mujhe Tha Intezar" he beautifully combined saxophone, trumpet, dholak and bells. Thus, Kalyanji Ananadji's achievements took Indian music to the next level and made his compositions for the film Don unforgettable..
