Do Bhai (transl. Two Brothers) is a 1969 Indian Hindi-language action drama film, produced and directed by Brij Sadanah,[1] and written by Salim Khan (credited as Prince Salim).[2] It stars Ashok Kumar, Mala Sinha, Jeetendra[3] and music composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal.[4] The film was remade in Tamil in 1971 as Justice Viswanathan and in Telugu in 1971 as Nenu Manishine.

Though the story of this movie is credited only to Salim Khan, the core plot went on to be partially rehashed by the Salim–Javed duo for their debut South Indian movie as original story writers - the 1976 Kannada movie Premada Kanike which was also later remade in Tamil in 1980 as Polladhavan and in Hindi in 1981 as Raaz.

Plot[edit]

The Bombay-based Varma family consists of two brothers, Ajay and Vijay. Their family have been lawmakers for generations, their grandfather was the District Magistrate, and their father was the Inspector General of Police. Now Ajay is a Judge while Vijay is the Superintendent of Police. Both live a fairly harmonious and honest lifestyle until Ajay hires a Secretary, Sandhya, who falls in love with Vijay. The brothers do not know that Sandhya has a hidden agenda that will pit both brothers against each other, and reveal one brother's hidden past.[5]
