Badsha – The Don is a 2016 Indian-Bangladeshi action comedy film directed by Baba Yadav. It was produced by Eskay Movies and Jaaz Multimedia. It is a remake of the 2010 Telugu movie Don Seenu starring Ravi Teja. The film stars Indian Bengali film actor Jeet and Bangladeshi television host and film actress Nusrat Faria. It is the third collaboration between Baba Yadav and Jeet after Boss: Born to Rule (2013) and Game (2014).

Except for the climax, the scenes of Mahesh Manjrekar were taken from the archival footage of the original version, which just led to a continuity error throughout the film. Released in July 2016, the film flopped at the box office in West Bengal but recovered its budget from its Bangladesh release.
