Gripping story with well-crafted characters

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

After RANGEELA, RGV came back with his alleged muse Urmila and Sanjay Dutt. Those days Sanju was just out of jail and he was trying hard to make a comeback. DAUD however falters due to it's handling and also hangover of Rangeela. Here too we have songs similarly shot The film starts off well but however the handling could be much better yet some scenes are funny like the entire story that Sanju and Urmila tell Chakk(played by Neeraj Vohra) The villains are shown as comic pieces which may not be a problem but things do get boringDirection by RGV is decent Music has a hangover of Rangeela yet some songs are goodSanjay Dutt tries hard he does handle scenes well but at times looks out of sorts Urmila is okay in her role Paresh Rawal lends some funny moments, Manoj Bajpai gets less scope Neeraj Vohra is funny at times, rest are okay

Daud: Fun on the Run is a weird but a funny movie. This movie belongs to its two principal characters--Sanjay Dutt and Urmila Matondkar. I didn't know that Matondkar can excel at comedy too. Her facial expressions and dialogue delivery are so funny. Many of the situations in this film didn't make sense. We never get to know why Nandu (Dutt) is the way he is. Neither do we know who Bhavani (Matondkar) really is. Moreover, the scenes in the jungle, especially those involving Chaku (Neeraj Vora) are too hard to digest but incredibly funny. I never stop laughing when I see those scenes. Dutt and Matondkar are good. Neeraj Vora tickles your funny bones. Paresh Rawal as the dreaded gangster Pinky is too over-the-top. Ashish Vidyarthi is okay . The rest of the cast is average. I recommend this movie to those who want a few laughs and feel good.

Daud:Fun On The Run 1997 is amazing film i saw it & it blew me away the story is about 2 people who are after money with cops & bad guys after them.they think that inside a valuable stolen box there is gold worst millions or something but it turns out to be something deadly.its a neutron bomb .will they escape the city or stop the terrorists from destroying cities. the whole movie is funny .sanjay dutt & urmila steals the show.paresh rawal was excellent as villain & rest actors did great but its such an amazing movies that grips you forever. & the soundtrack is by AR-Rahman all songs are fantastic. the direction,story everything is perfect.my rating is 10/10 Must Watch,this is all time fantastic movie

Of the 14 Bollies I have collected so far, "Daud" is my absolute favorite by a large margin. After watching it the fourth time in a few weeks, I'm even more sure of that impression.Urmila Matondkar is just such a joy to behold. There is a number of good-looking actresses, but she somehow has great control over her facial expressions, especially when doing comedy. Remembering simple quotes of hers, like "50 - 50", make me suddenly feel very good...Sanjay Dutt is not your typical look-good, do-good "X.Y. Khan" actor. He's the rough-tough guy, but can also express a variety of feelings pretty well. Together with Urmila, he sure is the dominated part here, but in a very charming way.The side actors playing Chako-ji (the clown who can be very serious) and Pinky (the jovial sadist) also add much flair. Eery scenes can be remembered by just a few words: "Say one last time: jay Hind."- "Jay Hind." - "OK, shoot them." Oh, and from the vehicle aspect, the dump truck on which the big escape starts, and the double-decker bus on which it ends, are also memorable "personae" ...I love "Daud", after watching it four times, and will re-watch it many more times. Maybe one day I'll even understand what "Daya Shankar" and "Uma Parvati" (the pseudonyms used by the heroes for a while) mean and imply...
