De Dana Dan Foumovies
Story: Friends Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty cannot marry their girl friends because they are poor. They hatch a plot to get rich quick by ill-gotten means. The plot boomerangs.Review: Blame it on the director, but they're mostly missing in action: Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Suniel Shetty. And it's hard to fathom why! Why in moviedom's name would a filmmaker sign the three most thoroughbreds of comedy and waste them away with a vanishing act? Haven't the threesome - Akshay, Suniel and Paresh - passed the litmus test at the box office and given contemporary cinema some of its best comedies in the Hera Pheri sequels? So why would anyone want to brush aside their crackling chemistry for a load of chaos created by a bunch of side characters who dominate the entire second half of the film?
More importantly, why would a director lock his lead player, Akshay Kumar, in a cupboard, for reels and reels of the film, specially when he has been responsible for most of the laughs in the first half? MovieHara-kiri, did we say! Or is it simply a case of bad judgement. Whatever be the case, De Dana Dan is a film that begins soundly and then slips into cuckoo land, only because the primary characters and their story is side-tracked for a compendium of tertiary tales.

And these too, are so confusing, you keep losing the plot and the character count even though you desperately try and keep pace with the mayhem in this marriage that mostly transpires in a hotel in Singapore.The story begins merrily enough with the sorry tale two friends, Akshay and Suniel, who can't marry their girl friends (Katrina Kaif and Sameera Reddy) because they have no money. Akshay spends his days and nights in miserable serfdom, trying to pay back his education loan to evil Archana Puran Singh, by pitching in as her do-it-all bai, while Suniel is a down and out delivery boy. After much ado - and madness - the duo hatch a kidnapping plot to earn that extra buck that would make them eligible for shaadi and grihasti.
Predictably, the plot boomerangs and anything that can go wrong does begin to go wrong. Nothing wrong with that. Except that the girls' fathers get into the picture and the story completely derails with an odd assortment of characters squabbling for their place under the sun. Try guessing why Tinu Anand is gunning for Paresh Rawal who is gunning for Manoj Joshi who is gunning for Vikram Gokhale who is gunning for Neha Dhupia who is gunning for Shakti Kapoor who is gunning for Rajpal Yadav who is gunning for Johnny Lever who is being gunned down by Archana Puran Singh.Gotcha, didn't we!Too many characters in the second half, too long drawn a climax (and completely over the top too), too little of Akshay and Katrina, the hit jodi of many a blockbuster: De Dana Dan delivers in bits and pieces alone. The humour is mostly slapstick and the plot wafer thin. Most of the laughs are provided by Akshay's Sad Sack butler act coupled with some rib tickling hysteria by Paresh Rawal. The girls, Katrina and Sameera, mostly look lost and woe begone.
Also disappointing is Pritam's audio track, coming after a spate of successes this year.No, this one's not quite the end-of-the-year laugh riot.A word about:Performances: Akshay leads the laugh riot from the front. But he's suddenly pushed to the back, much to the detriment of the film. Sadly, Katrina too looks completely out of sorts for most of the film. Just one question: Did someone else dub for her? Amongst the others, it's Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever and Suneil Shetty who manage to hold your attention; the rest are too loud, specially Manoj Joshi.Dialogue: Mostly silly, hardly funny.Story: Priyadarshan's plot is too loose, too long, too scattered to hold your attention.
Most of the comedy is slapstick and stems from situational goof-ups.Music: Pritam's music isn't inspired this time. None of the songs have shelf life. The only one which mildly moves you is Paisa, the Katrina-Akshay duet belted by a Punjabi pop band.Choreography: Unimpressive dance moves by Ganesh Acharya.Styling: The fashion aesthete is forgettable too.
The girls look ordinary in their dresses and the guys sport the boy-next-door look.
CAST.Singapore-based Nitin Bankar's education was paid for by his employer, Kuljeet Kaur, and he, after the passing of his father, works as an unpaid maid-chauffeur for her until such time he pays off whatever she had spent. He is in love with gorgeous Anjali Kakkad but her father refuses to give his consent for this alliance. Desperate to get out of this situation, Nitin attempts suicide, albeit in vain, and then cooks up a scheme to abduct Kuljeet's pet, Mulchand, demand a hefty ransom, and then marry Anjali. He seeks assistance from his equally deadbeat-courier deliveryman, Ram Mishra, who wants to wed tall and pretty Manpreet Oberoi, and both book a room in Pan Pacific Hotel. However, Murphy's Law and a host of assorted characters get involved - resulting in hilarious and uncontrollable chaos.
