==Plot==
The affable Nandu ([[Sanjay Dutt]]) is a small-time crook who is hired to deliver a mysterious package to a notorious criminal named Pinky ([[Paresh Rawal]]). Feeling that he's being cheated out of his delivery fee, Nandu holds out for more money, and soon finds himself on the run from both the angry gangsters and the police, who have launched a massive manhunt.

Nandu and Bhavani ([[Urmila Matondkar]]), the lovely cabaret dancer who's tagging along for the ride, assume the package contains gold; both are unpleasantly surprised when it turns out to be something deadlier: a nuclear bomb.

==Reception==
After the success of his previous movie ''[[Rangeela (1995 film)|Rangeela]]'', Verma's ''Daud'' was much anticipated. Though the movie opened to mixed reviews, it went on to do average business at the Indian box office. [[Anupama Chopra]] of ''[[India Today]]'' wrote, "Despite the flaws, Daud makes for fun-watching."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chopra |first1=Anupama |author-link1=Anupama Chopra |title=Great Timepass |url=http://www.india-today.com/itoday/01091997/cinema.html |access-date=23 October 2020 |work=[[India Today]] |date=1 September 1997 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010715005314/http://www.india-today.com/itoday/01091997/cinema.html |archive-date=15 July 2001}}</ref>

The score and soundtrack were composed by [[A. R. Rahman]], who also scored ''[[Rangeela (1995 film)|Rangeela]]''. The lyrics were written by [[Mehboob (lyricist)|Mehboob]], except for the song "Daud" which was penned by [[Sukhwinder Singh]]. One of the songs, "Zehreela Pyar" came heavily under the censor scanner for its rather bold picturization.

The soundtrack was re-released in Tamil as a non-film album titled ''Ottam'' and was dubbed in Telugu as ''50–50''.
