De Dana Dan (2009)

It is a priyadarshan comedy so it is obvious that there is no need to carry your brains along.the story is simple.

Nitin Bankar (Akshay Kumar) is a personal butler, cook, driver, watchman, gardener to a wealthy female industrialist (Archana Puran Singh) in Singapore. Like any young man, Nitin too, dreams of a better life, but misfortune is his constant companion and his reality is his job under Archana. He desperately wants to become rich and marry the love of his life, Anjali Kakkad (Katrina Kaif), who supports him financially.

Ram Mishra (Suneil Shetty), Nitin's best friend also came to Singapore with the dream of striking it rich, but ended up a courier delivery man. He falls for Manpreet Oberoi (Sameera Reddy), but her high society parents will never approve of marriage, not unless Ram has lots and lots of money.

In the midst of all this, is Harbans Chadda (Paresh Rawal), a shrewd businessman, is looking for ways to multiply his income and avoid his debtors. He decides the best way would be to marry his son off to a girl whose parents can give him a large dowry. He is introduced to Manpreet's parents at a Diwali function and is impressed by their social status. He introduces himself as a well-established businessman, impresses them and they decide to get Manpreet and Harbans' son (Chunky Pandey) married.

With several factors working against them, Nitin and Ram soon reach a dead end in their relationships. When both receive ultimatums from their girlfriends, they realize that only a life of vice can help them out of their misery. They come up with an audacious plan to kidnap someone important and demand a ransom. The kidnapping goes well, and both hide out at a local hotel while waiting for the ransom money. But misfortune is never far, and the kidnapping spirals out of control.

Meanwhile, Manpreet's wedding reception is being held at the same hotel that Nitin and Ram are hiding in. Soon, they are joined by a motley set of characters including a Chinese Don, a hired assassin, a ACB police inspector, a club dancer, an ambassador, a young frustrated double crossing wife, a letch, a drunken waiter, and a dead body nobody wants check into the hotel....

What happens next is De Dana Dan...full of many twists and turns that will leave you giddy with laughter...

De Dana Dan...full of Masti and Madness!!!

it is a fun film from start to end.

Akshay kumar is rocking as ever.Sunil Shetty has done a very good job.The scenes between Akshay and Sunil are very good.Paresh Rawal is satisfactory.Johnny lever is excellent.Archana Puran Singh is good.A special mention of Vikram Gokhale as he is awesome,he creates actual humor without being funny.Manoj joshi is good.Rajpal doent have much to do.Katrina and sameera have done a decent job however they do not have much screen presence. I would rate this movie 10/10 just for its entertainment factor. A must watch if you like Mindless comedy !!!!1

Fmovies: Wow..... real nice movie! I read a few reviews and was real skeptical to watch the movie. Since last 3-4 movies have been huge flops.

Exceptional Comedy DDD... is that exceptional Bollywood Comedy where the story, acting, music and photography all come together in a fine symphony. Thankfully, in DDD Akshay Kumar, has amply redeemed himself with a glittering performance. Everyone actor in the movie has done justice to their respective roles.

You all have to go out there and watch this movie. All the people in the theater were laughing out loud ha ha Its a must watch. I will go and watch it again. But make sure you folks see it in a theater.

Ignore the other ratings! I get that some other Hindi comedy movies are so mindless and stupid they are not funny, but this movie is smart, exciting, and hilarious without being overly stupid. I have watched this over 5 times and it does not get old. Akshay Kumar is one of the funniest and most talented actors, and this movie includes many other famous comedy actors. A must see!!

De Dana Dan fmovies. Most people say this is stupid movie making with no story and a rubbish movie, that is simply not true.

This movie does have a story, a smart one at that also. Most people say it doesn't, what were you people doing when the movie was playing its a simple story and a different from all the other comedies we've been seeing.

The songs were pretty good even thought they were just chucked in but its PRIYADARSHAN so we know stupid stuff will be happening

Priyadarshan does a good job at directing. There are so many characters in one hotel about 26 and he manages to make them all have a fair part in the movie.

The performances were awesome Akshay was fantastic his face expressions to the way he talks is hilarious. Suneil does very good too and makes us laugh. Everybody else does a great job to making it more hilarious

In the end de dana dan is a slapstick comedy that does make you laugh. I don't know what people were expecting that made it a let down. Of course it not 3 idiots but as far as slapstick's go it is funny unlike a lot coming out recently like Rascals. So leave your brains behind and go watch this crazy and hilarious comedy.

De Dana Dan is one of the finest comedies in recent times, we all know Priyadarshan is an expert on the field of comedy, this movie belongs to his top movies next to Hera Pheri, Hungama and Garam Masala.

The movie started off on a hilarious note, continued to the climax in a hilarious way, and ended in a perfect typical Priyadarshan way! I always liked Sunil Shetty and know he is very underrated, Akshay Kumar and Sunil were both outstanding, and delivered rib-tickling performances.

The supporting cast is excellent, Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Johnny Lever, Shakti Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Sharat Saxena.. everyone! Katrina Kaif and Sameera Reddy didn't really have much scope, or funny scenes..

Plusses : Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, REALLY funny moments and a few nice songs.

Minus : The songs pop out of nowhere, but we are kind of used to that with Priyadarshan aren't we?

Go for it, you won't be disappointed!

The movie was hilarious and Akki Suniel Paresh and Johnny lever are the best out of all the characters in the movie! The movie will probably be big hit. DE DANA DAN has so many characters that it gets difficult to pinpoint or single out any one actor. Akshay is at his best in a Priyadarshan film and DE DANA DAN proves it. Suniel is natural to the core. Paresh is incredible; he pitches in a superb act. Katrina and Sameera don't have much to do. Amongst the plethora of actors, Johny Lever, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Joshi, Asrani, Vikram Gokhale and Archana Puransingh deserve special mention. DE DANA DAN is targeted at the masses and it delivers laughter in abundance. Leave your brains behind to enjoy this madcap entertainer!
