Do Kaliyan is a 1968 film directed by R. Krishnan and S. Panju. It stars Mala Sinha, Biswajeet, Mehmood and Neetu Singh. It is a remake of Tamil movie Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum which itself was a copy of the 1953 film Twice Upon a Time and 1961 movie The Parent Trap which were ultimately based on the Erich Kästner's German novel Lottie and Lisa (Das doppelte Lottchen). It was declared a hit at the box office and revitalized the career of its lead actor Bishwajeet.
