★★½ (2.5/5) Watch it for: Paresh Rawal + Rajpal Yadav, and the chaotic second half. Skip it if: You prefer tight plots or are offended by dated humor.
De Dana Dan works best when you ignore logic and enjoy the actors going berserk. It’s not Priyadarshan’s best (compare to Hera Pheri or Bhool Bhulaiyaa ), but it’s a decent time-pass comedy for fans of slapstick and ensemble chaos. If you love Akshay Kumar’s comic timing and Paresh Rawal’s exasperated gangster act, you’ll find enough laughs. Others may find it too loud and long.
Released on November 27, 2009, is a slapstick comedy directed by Priyadarshan. It is famously known for reuniting the iconic trio from Hera Pheri : Akshay Kumar , Suniel Shetty , and Paresh Rawal . Plot Overview
The movie features a massive ensemble cast of over 25 characters.
The keyword often associated with the film’s plot is "confusion," but it is a confusion that the audience is invited to enjoy. Unlike many modern comedies that rely on lazy writing, De Dana Dan requires the viewer to pay attention. The script throws multiple balls in the air, and the thrill comes from watching the cast juggle them without dropping a single one.
Released on November 27, 2009, De Dana Dan is a spiritual successor to Priyadarshan’s earlier hits like Hera Pheri (2000) and Hungama (2003). The plot revolves around two down-on-their-luck servants—Nitin (Akshay Kumar) and Ram (Suniel Shetty)—who work for a rich but miserly businessman, Kulkarni (Shakti Kapoor).
