De Dana Dan (Hindi: दे दना दन) is a 2009 Hindi comedy film directed by Priyadarshan. The story is a partial adaptation of Priyadarshan's own Malayalam film Vettam. The film has a huge star cast which includes Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. The supporting actors include Paresh Rawal, Neha Dhupia and Sameera Reddy.[2] Filming began on 1 December 2008 at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai.[3][4] A major part of the film was shot in Singapore. An article in Slate Magazine describes the shooting of a flood scene in Goregaon studios with locally hired white people.[5] The film was released on 27 November 2009.
The film reunites the trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal with Priyadarshan, who directed them in the first Hera Pheri film. This is the first time the trio has acted together since 2006's Phir Hera Pheri, although Rawal and Shetty appeared in Priyadarshan's Chup Chup Ke and Hulchul.
Plot
Nitin (Akshay Kumar) and Ram (Suniel Shetty) are lucky in love, otherwise their life is a big zero as their bank balance. Nitin's employers dog, Mulchand Ji (as he must be called) always does wrong things, but the blame is put on Nitin, and he is usually kicked into the pool as a punishment.
Ram works for a courier service in Singapore. He had originally come there to work in Chinese films, but he was not selected. Anjali (Katrina Kaif), is in love with Nitin and Manpreet (Sameera Reddy) is in love with Ram.
Harbans Chadda (Paresh Rawal), is a flop businessman, but acts to be great. He has a son, Nonney Chadda (Chunky), who is as useless as his father. An Inspector, Mr. Wilson Pereira (Sharat Saxena) is trying to arrest Harbans for his bounced cheques. Anjali's father, Kakkad (Tinu Anand) signs a deal with Harbans. Later, Harbans and Kakkad decide to get Nonney and Anjali married to each other. Later, when Harbans was in a casino, he sees Mr. Oberoi (Manoj Joshi). Someone, tells Harbans that Oberoi is one of the richest Indians in Singapore. Harbans lies to Oberoi to get Nonney married to Oberoi's daughter, who turns out to be Manpreet.
Afterwards, both Anjali and Manpreet demand money from Nitin and Ram and tell them that their marriage has been fixed with someone else. After hearing this, Nitin tries to commit suicide on a street, by coming in the way of a car. Luckily, the car brakes hard and saves Nitin. But actually, that car is Ram's courier car. Then they tell each other that their girlfriends are getting married. To get some ransom, they kidnap Moolchand the dog. But while driving the van, the trunk opens and Moolchand runs away back to Kuljeet Kaur. This makes the cops think that Nitin has been kidnapped. Later, when Kakkad finds out that Harbans has fixed his marriage with someone else, he threatens Harbans that he will break his son's marriage.
The Indian society of Singapore decided that until Kuljeet Kaur (Nitin's employer) gives money to the so-called kidnappers, they won't come to her shops until she pays the ransom.
