'do you' and 'have you'

Hi! In sentence 'Have you seen that movie?' can I replace 'have you' to 'do you seen that movie?' and if it's wrong please explain me why. Thanks.

' is the interrogative (question) form of the statement 'You have seen that movie'. ' because there would have to be a corresponding statement 'You do seen that movie' — a structure which does not exist in grammatical English. Rover
