(Original Sources : DON Official Site & Wikipedia Encyclopedia)


The year is 2006. The drug trade is booming. Trafficking between Asia and Europe is at an all time high. It is at this time that the Malaysian Intelligence and Anti-Narcotic Department are called upon for assistance by their indian counterparts. There are rumors that the gang have recently moved their operational headquarters to KL.

The cartel in is headed by the dreaded, singhania. But what many people do not know, is that the business is truly managed by his trusted lieutenant, Don (Shahrukh Khan).

A man who lives life on the edge, Don is constantly expanding the size of his empire while evading arrest or death at the hands of his enemies, both within and outside the law. Fearless, cunning and ruthless, he is unstoppable in his pursuit of absolute power.
His chief pursuer is an Indian Police Officer Narcotics, DCP DeSilva (Boman Irani). He is a man who has sworn to put an end to this nexus of evil and knows that in capturing Don lies the key to unlock this puzzle. And one day, he succeds. Don is captured and desilva puts his plan into action.

Unknown to even his own department, DeSilva has recruited and trained a man who is a spitting image of soon. His name is Vijay (Shahrukh Khan).

Vijay infiltrates the cartel and manages to give Desilva all the information he needs to bring it down. But in a bizarre twist of fate, desilvais killed during a raid and the secret that Don is in fact, Vijay, a police informer, is buried with him. The only people who realize that he is infact an imposter, are the members of Don’s cartel. And they want their revenge.

Vijay manages to escape and is now on the lookout for the one last piece of evidence that can get him out of this mess.

Helping him on this quest are two people. The first is Roma (Priyanka Chopra), a young woman, who was working in the gang but only to avenge her brothers death. He had been mercilessly killed by Don when he had decided to leave the gang.

The other is Jasjit (Arjun Rampal), the real father of Vijay’s adopted son, deeply, he owes Vijay for having looked after the boy while he was in prison.
