Do Kaliyan is a 1968 film directed by R. Krishnan and S. Panju. It stars Mala Sinha, Biswajeet, Mehmood and Neetu Singh.

It was declared a hit at the box office and revitalized the career of its lead actor Bishwajeet.
Two identical twins, unknown to their divorced parents, conspire to reunite them.
