DDD is aptly defined as a slapstick comedy elsewhere, in particularly because it has nothing to offer besides seemingly lost plot, fuzzy comedy, and random musical sequences. If after Chup Chup ke (starring Bhikarina Kappor and Shahid Kay) and Bhagam Bhag (Akshay Kyumar), director Apriyadarshan needed any more affidavit confirming his lack of brains, then De Dana Dan should suffice.To be honest, I do not believe Apriyadarshan is a director. If he is anything significant, then he is a pirate who’s remaking movies at the speed of light in the broad daylight, because the copyright protectors are sleeping in theaters watching his movies.

The film starts, if at all, with some Nitin Bankar (Akshay Kyumar) working as a driver-cum-assistant for a wealthy bitch (Kharchana puran Singh), because his Dad owes a great deal of money to her. He has befriended Ram Mishra (Suneil Putty) , who is another looser in life. The duo has achieved nothing except a beautiful set of women consisting Anjali and Manpreet (Katarina Safe and Sameera Laddy) . The only glitch in their marriage is the dearth of money, for which the duo plans to abduct the bitch of the bitch. The colossal chaos rises its peak, melody-less sounds ring loud in your ears, and all the revolving characters around a plotless film end up in the same hotel, Pan Pacific. If you do not seem to get the story here, it’s because the film’s hasn’t one either.
Apriya tries to further destroy our delicate brain-tissues by metamorphosing the plot. Few more characters drop in the hotel, Mamu (Johny L.), Kajal Khanna (Neha D.), Moosa (Shakti Gafoor), and a bunch of idiots (who didn’t even get their signing amounts). Apriya’s IQ becomes more vividly apparent with the unfolding of events and the assumed comedy behind. All the while, Harbhan Chaddha (Pareshan Rawal) and Khajpal Yadav repair some damage by rare one-liners, but they ultimately prove too lame and insufficient. The power-punch of Apriya’s trademark comedy comes in the last as the archived royal rumble begins in the end. A virtual flood (which washes out the audience’s logic) encounters all the characters and dissolves the film’s chaotic script.
De Dana Dan is a pain-in-the-ass movie which has neither theme, nor performance. It is a testimony to the fact that the world runs around two things: MONEY and SEX. And Bollywood being no exception to that, Apriya’s this misadventure ploys exploiting both the talented actors (Vikram Gokhale, Manoj Joshi, and Pareshan Rawal) and sexy sluts (Sameera Laddy, Neha D., Aditi Gochikar). Katarina Safe proves again that acting is no necessity in Bollywood, and it works if you gotta a slamming body. Sameera’s killlller dialogs are slower than a class 1 student taking his first Hindi lessons, but yet again, her massive cleavage comes to the rescue.
Coming back to the grading, is it at all necessary to ratify the catharsis of Indian movie-making? Before considering the tones of water wasted in simulating the flood inside the hotel, Apriya and his entire crew could have given their tiny brains a little tickle…India’s waterless villages. I mean, Apriya must have been sued in the public courts, and the entire sensor board, for psychologically harassing people and charging them for it. Its the most cold-blooded crime ever. Aren’t the PIL supposed to take care of this?
