De Dana Dan brings together the Hera Pheri team again. Hopefully this outing should turn out to be better than Hera Pheri 2. The story is similar to Hera Pheri (1), where down and broke people hatch a kidnapping plan, which goes out of control.

Here Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty are good friends. Both are broke and both get ultimatum from their girlfriends to get rich, else they will be married off to someone else who is rich. Add to this, Paresh Rawal, a shrewd businessman whom wants his son (Chunky Pandey) to marry one of the rich girls to get a big sum as dowry to help pay off his debtors.

The broke blokes hatch a kidnap plan to reach to their goal of becoming rich. They get the hostage and hole up in a hotel. At the same hotel, Paresh has his son’s wedding with one of the rich girls. And then as all Priyadarshan comedies go – hell breaks loose and everything goes for a toss ( equals to lot of slap stick comedy).

   Agree with critics rating.

   However i think at Box office this is going to be a blockbuster.
   Min 70 Cr
   Max 85 Cr

   This film may emerge as Akshay’s biggest hit till date.

   After Seeing those Hot Rain Song Pictures, I am sure DDD will be hit.

   Masses are going to Come in Hordes.

   Congrats Gorilla and SV.

   i have no doubt “de dana dan” is going to be a monster hit. its one of those films that filmgoers wholeheartedly embrace. if APKGK hit it so big, what’s stopping DDD?

   whats stopping DDD aditya is akshay’s problems at the BO this year. Akshay has repeatedly shown that he can get a few people in to the theaters the first weekend but he hasnt been able to sustain that.
   so to me the critical success factor for this movie is Paresh Rawal. If he makes the movie good – then this has a chance. else with paa and rocket singh coming in the next 2 weeks – i feel DDD is going to do no more than 50-55cr.
   for all apkgk’s success – it seems that it wont do more than 60cr – so that tells u the difficulty even for a well appreciated movie to do over 60cr
