The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
i am surprised that this film has such a low rating. I am rating it a 9.It has lots of famous Indian actors in it, and everyone is very funny in it.The reason why it has a low rating, it is probably because every character in it is connected to others one way or another. So if you don't pay attention to who they are, what they did, you will quickly get lost. If you can't understand who they are, then obviously you will lost interest very quickly.that is why i say in order to appreciate this comedy, you have to be an intelligent person. it is not for common people who have short attention span.Of course, what happened in the film is improbable in real life. It is just a fun entertaining comedy, you will laugh for sure.
With the team joins hands back again, the expectations are nothing short of yet another "Hera Pheri". The team needed a desperate hit to redeem themselves from the recent spate of flops in everybody's kitty. Needless to say the pressure surmounts and result is "De Dana Dan". De Dana Dan gives the opportunity to see all the Priyan's regulars under one roof. There is little something for everybody and to what extent the character is justified is a debate for another day. The laugh-riot owing to comedy of errors bear uncanny resemblance to Priyan's earlier outing "Hungama". There are streaks of "One Two Three" (under-rated, IMO). The writer should be applauded for being able to weave the intricate complex mesh of sub-plots and integrate it into the main storyline. On the same note, the director deserves brownie points for being able to cross the deliverable milestone. No doubt there is breadth in terms of sub-plots, however the downside is lack of depth in it. By the time a character and the sub-plot sinks into the audience, the story moves on. And when the tributaries join in, the confusion starts to seep in. In terms of performance the lead performers are do a fine job ie. Akki, Paresh, Suniel, Katrina in descending order of of screen time. Sameera Reddy hardly leaves an impression. The supporting cast as mentioned earlier are Priyan's regulars and seem under-utilised. But hey-ho, everybody seemed to have enjoyed the overseas holiday during the shoot. On that note, it seems basing the story in Malaysia was an overkill. Lets not forget "Hera Pheri" worked because of the simplicity which the audience were instantly able to connect. Pritam's songs deserve a special mention, great foot-tapping numbers are justified adequately with their picturisation. Finally Priyan could have come up with a better climax rather the water- shed.
I am not going to write a critical review of this movie simply because it doesn't need one. I am just going to say that it kept me and a hall full of at least 200 people laughing non-stop. Everything in the movie made us laugh. I had left all my critical faculties at home when I went to watch this movie. It's pure fun. AK is great-- I have always loved him especially in comedies-- and all the other characters were great too. The timing was great and all the twists and turns kept us rolling on the floor. I certainly did not go there looking for some dark comedy or a serious movie. In any case, what credibility does the Indian audience have, if they could reject a well made film like Korbaan? If you haven't watched De Dana Dan yet, I say, buy a ticket and go for the next show. You will forget all your troubles and sleep well that night.
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!
