Review of De Dana Dan

Expectations were High! Cult movie(Hera pheri)'s team reunited for a comedy film but with a wrong script. Priyadarshan's comedies origin from confusion. In this movie, only confusion origin from confusion. The story is of two friends who need money, whether for their girls or for something else, its confusing. They end up being in a hotel where countless events occur which leave you so much confused that you repent buying ticket. It starts well, with Akshay and Archana's sequences which lasts for about 20 minutes. After that, you just wait for a funny dialogue and it comes when Akshay and Archana reunite in late second half. One and half hour is dedicated to confusion which ideally should have generated at least couple of gags. The climax is way too stretched. The movie could have been trimmed at least for about one hour. If it was one and half hour movie, I might give it 5 or 6/10 but for two and half hour long movie which has only four or five gags, no way!!! It is waste of time, money and your brain. Better don't try to understand the story because there is no story. It is all about confusion. Performances: Akshay Kumar delivered what he did before also, although his role was restrained. Archana Singh was good. Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Johnny lever, and the brigade of other 15 or 16 actors acts but does not bring any smile.

Final Verdict : Just because "leave brain at home" kind of comedies have been Super hits in past that we are facing these kind of movies. Bollywood really need to mature. Mr.Priyadarshan should take a long rest from comedies and come up with something like Hera Pheri again. If you have decided to watch, then watch the first 20 minutes and then forward rest till you see Akshay and Archana Singh together!!
