Interesteg What makes it different from others?

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

rohanal 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!!

MovieInspector Lets start off with the actors. The Hera Pheri trio (Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal)all performed well with great comic timing as usual. Sameera Reddy and Katrina Kaif were also good. They starred opposite Akshay and Suniel (bet you can guess who was opposite to who) and did a half-decent job of it.Others such as Rajpal Yadav,Manoj Joshi and Chunkey Pandey also did well. The music is also good. The tracks 'Baamulaiza' and 'Rishte Naate' are, in my opinion, the best two of the bunch. It is a film that, when you watch, you shouldn't bother about how good the story is (it is OK). Instead, you should be looking for some comedy. Believe me, this has more than some comedy in it. Verdict: Mindless entertainment. Watch it - 8.5/10

sumanbarthakursmailbox They couldn't have come up with a more inappropriate title for the new Akshay Kumar starrer than De Dana Dan, a term usually used to signify something quick. The thing is, Priyadarshan's latest comedy is anything but quick. At two hours and 40 minutes, it's a laboriously long, patience-testing exercise in idiocy about some 20-odd characters stuck in a five-star hotel where mistaken identities and misunderstandings result in loud arguments, comic-book action and crude humor. Akshay Kumar plays down-on-his-luck servant boy Nitin Bankar, who can't take any more humiliation from his tyrant boss, and finally conspires with his buddy to kidnap her beloved pooch and demand a ransom. The dog, as it turns out, is smarter than the men. He escapes from their hands, but the police believe that Nitin has been kidnapped. Don't ask how this situation leads to the one in the hotel, but it does. There's a wedding happening, a murder attempted, a prostitute being solicited, and lots of money changing hands. Eventually, it ends with a bomb exploding in the water tank and a flood - think Titanic here – gutting the entire hotel. In the tradition of many recent low-brow comedies from the same director, De Dana Dan is cheerfully dumb and doesn't aspire for anything more than cheap laughs. The film's first half is dreadfully dull, and the second only marginally better. Rajpal Yadav as a corrupt waiter, and Johnny Lever as a bumbling hit-man are the two bright spots in this annoying ensemble that includes talented actors like Paresh Rawal, Vikram Gokhale and Archana Puran Singh who pretty much spend the entire film yelling at the top of their lungs. Neha Dhupia scores with a winning turn as the hot-headed hooker who just wants to get her money and leave. The film's leading man, Akshay Kumar, sportingly goes along with the silliness, but he's done all of this many times before. In the film's second half, he's locked up in a closet for about 40 minutes, leaving the rest of the cast to carry on the show. How you wish you could hide somewhere too, or slip into a coma even – anything really to avoid watching the rest of this drivel. Over the years one has lowered one's expectations considerably when going in to watch a Priyadarshan comedy.De Dana Dan is no different.

rajandey 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!
