Daud (Hindi pronunciation:[d̪ɔːɽ];transl. Run) is a 1997 Indian Hindi-languageroadadventure comedy film written and directed byRam Gopal Varma, starringSanjay Dutt andUrmila Matondkar, with music composed byA. R. Rahman. The film was based on Ram Gopal Varma's 1991 Telugu filmKshana Kshanam, which starredVenkatesh,Sridevi andParesh Rawal.Daud was not commercially successful.[2]
The affable Nandu is a small-time crook who is hired to deliver a mysterious package to a notorious criminal named Pinky. Feeling that he is 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, 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.
Anupama Chopra ofIndia Today wrote, "Despite the flaws, Daud makes for fun-watching."[3]

The score and soundtrack were composed byA. R. Rahman, who also scoredRangeela. The lyrics were written byMehboob, except for the song "Daud" which was penned bySukhwinder 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 titledOttam and was dubbed in Telugu as50–50.
