Do Bhai (transl. Two Brothers) is a 1969 Indian Hindi-language action drama film, produced and directed by Brij Sadanah,[1] and written by Salim Khan (credited as Prince Salim).[2] It stars Ashok Kumar, Mala Sinha, Jeetendra[3] and music composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal.[4] The film was remade in Tamil in 1971 as Justice Viswanathan and in Telugu in 1971 as Nenu Manishine.

Though the story of this movie is credited only to Salim Khan, the core plot went on to be partially rehashed by the Salim–Javed duo for their debut South Indian movie as original story writers - the 1976 Kannada movie Premada Kanike which was also later remade in Tamil in 1980 as Polladhavan and in Hindi in 1981 as Raaz.

Salim had decided to cut down on his acting assignments in order to concentrate on writing and though money was hard to come by, he had not lost his flamboyance. In Do Bhai, he was credited as Prince Salim. During this period, he joined Abrar Alvi as a writing assistant.
