Unnikrishnan becomes a trusted right hand to Kasim Baba after he saves him from a group of goons. However, when Kasim gets killed by his nephew, Sulaiman, Unni gets accused of the murder and is arrested. He decides to prove his innocence and avenge Kasim's death, by killing his murderers.
This film marks the first collaboration between Shaji Kailas and Dileep.[3] Pooja was initially considered to be the heroine. However, the role went to Gopika.[3][4]
The music was composed by Mohan Sithara.[5]
The Don was scheduled to release before Onam but was pushed to the first week of September.[3][6]
Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff.com gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and wrote "The Don is simply a hotchpotch of many action-drama films, clumsily put together".[7] A critic from Webindia123 wrote that "It may be better for Dileep to stop trying to become an action hero".[8] A critic from Indiaglitz stated that "The screenplay of Pallaserry offers nothing new. And with the song which arrives an hour into the proceedings, the tempo slackens".[9] Unni Nair of Nowrunning said that "The Don is not his [Shaji Kailas'] worst effort yet".[10]
Dileep and Shaji Kailas were reported to collaborate again for another film produced by Dileep which did not materialise.[11][12]
