'De Dana Dan' is directed by Priyadarshan. And he has come up with a rip roaring theme and both the presentation and narrative has been excellent.
Story:
A whacky entertainer, the story is set on the backdrop of Singapore and here is Nitin (akshay) who is one in all for the industrialist Archana (archana puran), he takes care of everything for her. But then, his sole aim in life is to get rich so that he can marry his sweetheart Anjali (Katrina) who has been helping him financially. On the other hand, there is Ram (suniel), Nitin's best friend, who is working as a courier delivery man and he has got a girlfriend Manpreet (sameera) whose parents are from a high society. Then, there is also the businessman Harbans (paresh) who is currently riddled with loans and the only solution he sees is by getting his son (chunkey) married to a rich family so that he can take good dowry. The story takes a turn when Harbans meets Manpreet's parents and hatches a plan so that his son's wedding is fixed with Manpreet. Driven to the corner, both Nitin and Ram decide to come up with a kidnap plan and are partly successful when things go upside down.
Performance:
Akshay has come up with a fabulous act once again while Suniel fits well in the matured role, the real show stealer once again is Paresh Rawal. Katrina is seductive as ever while Sameera heats up the screen, nothing for both in terms of performance. The rest of the bandwagon like Johnny Lever, Asrani, Archana Puran Singh, Sharat Saxena, Rajpal Yadav, Vikram Gokhale, Tinu Anand and others have contributed effectively.
Music:
'De Dana Dan' music is composed by Pritam, Pritam's music is quite outdated this time and every song is forced into the narrative. Salim Sulaiman's background score is loud and at several instances overshadows the dialogues.
Verdict:Average |  |
