Two broke best friends + their rich girlfriends desperate to marry them + the girls respective fathers desperate to marry them off elsewhere + a bankrupt businessman who s getting his useless son engaged to every heiress in town to pay off his debts + assorted characters like a Chinese Don, a hired assassin, a rich bitch, an ACB officer, a club dancer, an ambassador, a young frustrated wife, a letch, a drunken waiter, a dead body nobody wants and above all... Moolchandji - the most pampered dog in the world...enjoy their antics in De Dana Dan... Throw in a kidnapping, mistaken identities and mistaken room numbers; an assassin on the prowl, a wedding...relish the mayhem in De Dana Dan...Multiple stars.... Multiple madness...Multiple laughs... only in De Dana Dan!Nitin (Akshay Kumar) and Ram (Suniel Shetty) are best friends and are lucky in love, otherwise their life is strife. Both have rich girlfriends, Anjali (Katrina Kaif) and Manpreet (Sameera Reddy) and they demand their boyfriends to earn enough money so they can elope or break-up forever. Broke and desperate, Nitin and Ram decide to raise money by kidnapping an employer's dog and collect ransom, but the plans go comically awry. Review Akshay brings a lovable goofiness to his character even though he s locked inside a wardrobe for a substantial chunk of the second half. Sunil Shetty is okay while Paresh Rawal and Manoj Joshi bring the house down with their remarkable bonhomie. The ladies, Katrina, Sameera and Aditi Govitrikar (as the money hungry wife of Rawal) are quite an eye candy, though Neha Dhupia does get to shoot off a few smutty dialogues. The supporting cast chips in with fine performances.The best part about De Dana Dan is that gags aren t just mindlessly stitched together but flow out of situations that arise out of mistaken identities. Full credit should go to its crispy script laced with punchy dialogues from Jay Master and full credit to Priyadarshan for executing it with his masterly skill that makes the movie a hell of a rollercoaster ride, leaving the audience doubled up with laughs. --platform47.com Director Priyadarshan is synonymous with comedies and the ace storyteller promises laughter in abundance. Handling so many characters, plus making a film on mistaken identities could be very tough, but the director gets it right. Pritam's music is good, while the RDB track, 'Paisa', is the pick of the lot. Salim-Sulaiman's background score is energetic. K. Ahambaram's cinematography is alright. The review would be incomplete if one ignored the dialogue writer's [Jay Master] contribution to the film. The lines are laced with wit and soaked in humour and bring the house down on several occasions. --platform47.com De Dana Dan has marvelous entertainment worth. Given the fashion of most Bollywood comics - De Dana Dan is the most funny movie of this period. --platform47.com
