Take a spoonful of Nagarjuna. Set him right at the centre of action, drama, amazing special effects, mixed with a sizzling dose of Anushka, and to top it all, give it a blend of tight screenplay, slick dialogues, and haute song and dance sequences.

Now take a pinch of Raghava Lawrence and mix it. What you get is a potion that promises to be a sure shot action-packed amazing Bollywood entertainer.

This is the formula for Don No 1, a film that stars Nagarjuna, and with the potential like Rajni-starrer Sivaji, this film threatens to dethrone all the Bollywood's existing Don Records, and is all set to hit Indian theatres on March 7.

What makes a mass movie a real full and full entertainer is the production values and the mounting, and Don No 1 starring Nagarjuna, is one film that will go down in history for its amazing mounting.

Nagarjuna emerges as the Real Don No 1 challenging to dethrone Big B, whom even apna SRK could not budge from his seat.

The film is a grosser down south, and raking in over 60 crore in just six weeks is no easy task and the collections seem to be only ever-growing.

The story goes thus. Surya [Nagarjuna] is an orphan who rescues some street children from the clutches of a drug peddler. One of them happens to be Raghava Lawrence.

They all become his followers, and as Surya grows up to become a Don, Raghava assists him in his work, and in turn Surya treats Raghava as his younger brother.

There is a difference in the portrayal of this film Don. Unlike other dons who are bad guys in the films, this Don is a soft natured, honest and a caring guy.

He assists people in distress and ensures that everybody is happy under his rule, thus emerging to be the modern day Robinhood.

Enter the villain, Stephen aka Sikandar (Kelly Dorjee) who is an International famed DON, who after expanding his so called mafia kingdom, eyes India. He approaches Surya and lures him to join him as a partner. But Surya understands his evil intentions and declines the offer.

This irks Stephen, and his anger sets him to eliminate Surya and sets up a trap to kill him and expand his mafia empire.

The rest of the story revolves on how Surya shields himself from Stephen and how he eliminates Stephen and saves his state and his followers. The climax is very interesting and must be watched on the silver screen.

Yuvasamrat Nagarjuna has performed as Surya, the DON and looks very stylish with his lavish costumes. He justifies his part well and has done a good work. The character of his has been properly carved, keeping in mind his image. His dances and expressions, and of course his action skills is a delight to watch.

Raghava Lawrence, on the other hand looks good in direction and acting department, and is good in exposing his talent in dance. He manages to ignite some comedy and also manages to extract some laughter from the audience with some situational comedy.-
