DCP DeSilva sees a way to bring to justice the feared head of a criminal empire by recruiting a man named Vijay, who looks exactly like the crime boss. The ruse works too well, and soon Vijay finds his life in danger when DeSilva, the only one who knows his true identity, dies.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This remake sparked fierce debates about whether it surpassed Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 original—Bollywood Twitter still fights about it.
The 'Main Hoon Don' theme samples the original 1978 score, but SRK insisted on a colder, more electronic sound to signal this Don's modern ruthlessness.
