Sameera Reddy looks charming but hardly has any dialogues.
Producer Ratan Jain is also there in the film!Īs for the heroines, Katrina Kaif has the meatiest role and sizzles full on in the song Gale Lag Ja. Vikram Gokhale particularly entertains a lot! The rest- Asrani, Chunky Pandey (he had no role at all!), Manoj Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Supriya Karnik, Tinu Anand and Sharat Saxena also did a nice job but it got overshadowed in presence of so many actors. Keep rocking Akki! Suniel Shetty gives an amazing performance and it was great to see him after a long time! Watch out for him in his next, Red Alert!įrom the rest, the ones who impress and provide maximum laughs are Paresh Rawal, Archana Puran Singh, Johny Lever and Vikram Gokhale. In fact, it was so great to see a fantastic Akshay Kumar film after so long (the last such film was Welcome, 2 years back).
Akshay Kumar was like everytime rocking! His films may not entertain everytime but he always impresses. In fact all put their best foot forward and contribute well. With so many characters, it becomes difficult to decide who the best was. Or else you’ll surely faint watching the nonsense climax! But for those who love comedies, the climax will surely entertain! However, the climax again takes the film up and it was the most weird and bizarre climax I have ever witnessed! Once again, I state that don’t watch the flick if you can’t stand any nonsense in films. In fact, the film is close to 2 hrs 45 minutes. However, it was the 2 nd half where at a point, everything gets too monotonous and you want the flick to end. The first half is laced with 4 songs but still the flick didn’t turn boring. Whew! With so many characters with interesting characteristics, Priyadarshan and the writing team excellently links up unrelated characters creating multiple mistaken identities, all which provide laughter unlimited! There is Harbans Chadda (Paresh Rawal) who is deep in debt and who wants to marry off his son Nonny (Chunky Pandey) to the best amir khandaan ki ladki there is Brij Mohan Oberoi (Manoj Joshi) who is happy to marry off her manglik daughter Manpreet to Nonny then there is smart theif cum club dancer (Neha Dhupia), Harban’s unfaithful wife Pammi (Aditi Govitrikar), a killer on a mission Peshawarwala (Johny Lever), an oversmart waiter Duggu (Rajpal Yadav), an Indian ambassador Paramjeet Lamba (Vikram Gokhale) and her wife (Supriya Karnik), Anjali’s dad Kakkad (Tinu Anand), Anti-corruption cop (Sharat Saxena) and a letch (Shakti Kapoor) (I hope I haven’t left anyone). The actual kidnapping and the events that follow was brilliant! Also, there are lots of tracks going on in the film, each one which is well written and worked upon. The asli mazaa begins when Nitin and Ram hatch the kidnap plan. The first half is where the characters are introduced and established which is perfectly done. There are some big big loopholes in the story too! But if you are lover of masala Hindi comedies, then you won’t mind at all as there is so much fun happening in the film every second! Except during the songs, you won’t get a chance to yawn or check out the time in your watch or look anywhere else than the screen! There is absolutely no logic whatsoever in De Dana Dan. Unfortunately, there are more colourful, anti-social, gadbad-types people in the hotel at that time! And then starts the mother of all misunderstandings, mistaken identities and unlimited, uninterrupted laughter for the viewers! So Nitin and Ram come up with plan to get quick money-they decide to kidnap Moolchandji in exchange of a huge ransom from Archana! Without realizing that the kidnapping has gone awry, both hide in the luxurious Pan Pacific Hotel waiting for the ransom. However, both Anjali and Manpreet are born and brought up in rich families and their families would not like their daughters to marry financially unstable men.
While Nitin is in love with Anjali (Katrina Kaif), Ram loves Manpreet (Sameera Reddy). The story of the movie: Nitin Bankar (Akshay Kumar) works for Archana (Archana Puran Singh), a rich lady in Singapore and who loves her pet dog named Moolchandji the most! Nitin’s only friend is Ram (Suniel Shetty). In fact, the flick thrives on misunderstandings and mistaken identities! However, like many other pathetic comedy flicks attempted this year, this doesn’t disappoint all thanks to Priyadarshan’s excellent handling and execution! In your entire life, you would have not seen such complicated and bizarre film ever, nor would you see it in future! There are some 25 characters the entire action takes place inside a luxurious hotel and misunderstandings galore in the film. Priyadarshan has always come up with zany comedies but De Dana Dan takes away the cake.
