Daud (Hindi: दौड़, English: Run) is a 1997 Hindi Road movie thriller by Ram Gopal Varma, starring Sanjay Dutt and Urmila Matondkar, with music composed by A. R. Rahman. The film was based on Ram Gopal Varma's 1991 Telugu film Kshana Kshanam, which starred Venkatesh and Sridevi.
The affable Nandu (Sanjay Dutt), 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 on 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.
After the success of his previous movie Rangeela, Daud was much anticipated but failed to be a box office success. Filled with tongue-in-cheek innuendos and some very sensual song picturizations, Daud failed to register with audiences. Though the movie did not prove to be a commercial success, it went on to become a cult hit. The dialogues and pot potpourri of subtle jokes and dead-pan humour was very well appreciated. Daud had some very good actors and A. R. Rahman at the helm in the music department. Manoj Bajpai played a small part in this film (he would later on work with RGV in Satya which made him a bonafide star). It was dubbed into Tamil and Telugu.

Plot: An inordinately complex man who has been labeled everything from hero, to charlatan, to sadist, Thomas Edward Lawrence blazed his way to glory in the Arabian desert, then sought anonymity as a common soldier under an assumed name. The story opens with the death of Lawrence in a motorcycle accident in Dorset at the age of 46, then flashbacks to recount his adventures: as a young intelligence officer in Cairo in 1916, he is given leave to investigate the progress of the Arab revolt against the Turks in World War I. In the desert, he organizes a guerrilla army and--for two years--leads the Arabs in harassing the Turks with desert raids, train-wrecking and camel attacks. Eventually, he leads his army northward and helps a British General destroy the power of the Ottoman Empire.
