De Dana Dan - My Review

I am an avid movie watcher and you cannot ignore my contribution to producers kitty. I would like to add movie reviews to my blog as I more than often go and watch a movie every week.

This week it was De Dana Dan from the Priyadarshan camp with his lucky team of Akshay, Sunil and Paresh. The expectations were not too high but we were just hoping to have a nice time and laugh but our wishes were not to be true. It is one of a kind experience to go in a theatre and watch these boring movies but then when the love for movies is in blood how can I resist!!! First things first, the movie could have been made in less than 2 hours. It seemed as if the director was trying his luck by stretching the rubber to its limit without realising, if it goes beyond the limit the rubber breaks and thus this movie. The plot was of the same old mistaken identity and it seems the idea of comedy in Bollywood is of mistaken identities with same sort of story line and situation. When would these artistic people start thinking and I wonder, do they even watch the movies they make and judge them in honesty??? I guess, they do not.

The movie started with few words of Akshay and it seemed this could be a nice laugh but then the 2nd shot itself let it down. There was never enough pace in the movie and when you felt as if the movie is gathering pace, the director throws a song at you without any situation and logic. The skills of actors were nowhere tested as the script did not demand it. The promos showed Katrina and Akshay dancing in rain but the movie had no such song. What is the logic of promoting a film on the basis of song which is not there in the movie. There were too many characters in the movie and all were trying out to make situation comic too Loud. All in all, there were probably few scenes where I had a laugh but overall it was all boring. At one moment of time, I thought the movie was over but the director stretched it for another 20 minutes. Finally, he climax of water tank exploding and the complete hotel flooded was such a nuisance. I agree, comedies at time need to be without logic but please do not test audience patience with such idiotic scenes. Akshay kumar has not given a good movie the entire year and it seems his luck is running out for now but hope, he comes out with a big hit soon.

For everyone, give this movie a miss and do not think of watching as it is better to stay at home and watch some comedy serials coming on Zee world :)
