De Dana Dan Film Review
What's not: The first half is too long and takes a while to settle in. Priyadarshan saves the best lines and situations for the second. The climax is a washout in the literal sense. The flood scene and everyone battling to save their lives doesn't really have a punch. There seems to be an internal competition for who's the loudest of all as actors Manoj Joshi and Archana Puran Singh screech and scream their lungs out every time they open their mouths. All the yelling and going crazy on each other gets jarring and repetitive after a while. A case of too many chefs spoiling the broth, the sheer number of characters in the film makes it lose its edge and grip.
The ladies Kat, Neha, Sameera hardly have anything to do. Except for the 'Paisa Paisa' song, the music is forgettable. Also how is Tinnu Anand slapping his wife and daughter supposed to be funny?
What to do: If you're in the mood for a ton of laughs, this slapstick riot is for you. That is, of course, you can keep up.
