Featured reviews
Priyadarshan's multi-starrer comedy 'De Dana Dan' is a film that you'll remember, not today, but in years to come. Here's way: Zany entertainers like these never get it right at the ticket window or with the film pundits during it's release... But, over the years, it gains a cult following.
'De Dana Dan' is non-stop non-sense with everything going-over-broad. Be it the length, the screaming, the complications, the confusion. 'De Dana Dan' is probably the best example for 'Escapist Cinema', a town where the word logic seems alien. Priyadarshan is a veteran, but his cinema {talking about his super-hits} have always been comedies... so whenever you tune in any hit-flick of this National-Award Winner please leave your brains safely at home.
Coming to the Performances: There are 25-26 characters in the film, in which each has a character to portray. Surprisingly, all excel in their respective parts. But the ones who stand out are: Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Archana Puran Singh, Neha Dhupia, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Johny Lever & Vikram Gokhale.
'De Dana Dan' is funny, but loud, lengthy & non-sensical. Watch this, but don't forget to lock your brains at home.

Everyone loves it. It's a big hit on TV. We watch it everytime when it comes on TV. But... it's so,so,so and so much underrated on IMDb. My rating is 7.9/10, and that's the rating it should have on IMDb.
Sub plot of the movie is so dominating that it makes you feel like you are watching two movies. Even after that movie is so much full of fun. There was a time I didn't stop laughing for an hour

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!

The movie was hilarious and Akki Suniel Paresh and Johnny lever are the best out of all the characters in the movie! The movie will probably be big hit. DE DANA DAN has so many characters that it gets difficult to pinpoint or single out any one actor. Akshay is at his best in a Priyadarshan film and DE DANA DAN proves it. Suniel is natural to the core. Paresh is incredible; he pitches in a superb act. Katrina and Sameera don't have much to do. Amongst the plethora of actors, Johny Lever, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Joshi, Asrani, Vikram Gokhale and Archana Puransingh deserve special mention. DE DANA DAN is targeted at the masses and it delivers laughter in abundance. Leave your brains behind to enjoy this madcap entertainer!
