De Dana Dan (Hit Left and Right) is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language comedy film directed by Priyadarshan. Its story is a partial adaptation of the Hollywood film Screwed; some scenes were taken from Vettam, Priyadarshan's Malayalam film. The film has an ensemble cast led by Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Katrina Kaif, Paresh Rawal and Sameera Reddy. Filming began on 1 December 2008 at Mehboob Studio in Mumbai. Released on 27 November 2009, it was moderately successful at the box office. Plot Nitin Bankar is a servant and driver for Kuljeet Kaur. Kuljeet owns malls, restaurants, and other real estate in Singapore. Nitin dislikes Kuljeet's dog, Moolchand Ji, who gets him in trouble. Ram Mishra works for a courier service after moving to Singapore to work in Chinese films. Anjali Kakkad is in love with Nitin, and Manpreet Oberoi is in love with Ram. Both girlfriends are wealthy, and accustomed to the good life. Inspector Wilson Parera is investigating Harbans Chadda for cheque kiting. Harbans wants to marry off his son, Nonny, so he can obtain a dowry and pay his debts. He agrees to Nonny's marriage to Anjali after her father, Himanshu (Tinu Anand), brings up the subject. At a restaurant, Harbans misses meeting Anjali because Wilson is there; Himanshu meets Pammi Chadda, Harbans' younger second wife. Anjali tells Nonny that she is pregnant with her lover's child to get out of the wedding, since she loves Nitin. At a casino Harbans meets Brij Mohan Oberoi, who introduces Indian ambassador Paramjeet Singh Lamba (Vikram Gokhale) to everyone there. After learning about Oberoi's wealth, Harbans arranges Nonny's marriage to Manpreet. Himanshu, who was not informed, arranges Anjali's marriage to someone else. Moosa Heerapoorwala decides to marry Anu Chopra, a dancer at the casino. After his brother-in-law finds out, he hires Mafia don Maamu to kill Moosa. Maamu sends Kaala Krishna Murali (Johnny Lever), his best assassin, to do the job. To hide from his wife, Moosa books a hotel room as Subair. Nitin and Ram decide to kidnap Kuljeet's dog Moolchand. When they reach the hotel, they realise that the dog has escaped and the police think that Nitin has been kidnapped. Anjali runs away from home and goes to their room. Kuljeet initially refuses to pay the ransom, but relents when her customers stage a boycott. Nitin does not want to return to Kuljeet, so they decide to obtain a dead body from Maamu(who happens to be Ram's friend) and throw it onto the railway tracks with Nitin's driving licence to suggest that the kidnappers killed Nitin. Harbans' and Oberoi's families come to the hotel for the wedding, and Harbans and Oberoi take a photo to celebrate their families' union, as do Kaala, Wilson, Moosa and Anu. Nitin waits at the hotel entrance with a white orchid on his hand for Maamu's man to come for the advance money. Himanshu arrives at the hotel and chases Nitin into Harbans' room. Nitin, unable to hide under the bed, hides in a wardrobe. Harbans locks his cellphone (and Nitin) in the wardrobe. Himanshu mistakes Nitin's room for Lamba's, and attacks him and his wife. Nitin calls Ram and tells him to give an advance to Maamu's man, but Ram mistakenly gives it to Kaala. Nonny sees Anjali, and her father agrees to return their money. Harbans mistakes Anu for Anjali, which causes confusion. Moosa's photo is exchanged with one of Oberoi, which results in Kaala believing he needs to kill Oberoi. Pammi demands money from Harbans to buy clothing and jewellery, but wants to elope with Arjun. Harbans asks her to take money from Lamba, and she mistakes Moosa for Lamba. Moosa tries to molest Pammi, which makes Harbans angry with Lamba. Anu mistakes Lamba for Moosa and tries to get close to her; after getting caught, she says that Lamba promised to marry her or give her money. Wilson reaches Harbans' room with Lamba's help and looks for Harbans. He opens the wardrobe, finds Nitin, and mistakes him for Harbans. Kaala attempts to kill Oberoi by dropping a bomb in his suitcase, but is knocked unconscious by a falling window and falls onto Nitin and Ram's truck while they are on their way to collect Kuljeet's ransom. They collect it, but Nitin is left behind and brought to the hospital; Ram gets the money and reaches the hotel, and Kaala is assumed to be the kidnapper (since he was on the truck). The police then mistake that Kaala's name is Harbans, and go to the hotel to arrest Kaala. Maamu arrives at the hotel with a body that nobody wants, while Oberoi realises Harbans' lies. Due to the police thinking Harbans kidnapped Nitin, Oberoi, Lamba, Wilson, the police, Moosa(who believes he took money for him and is working with Anu) and Kuljeet all chase him and Kaala, while Maamu and Himanshu chase Nitin, Ram, Anjali and Manpreet. Anu also becomes involved in the chase after believing the people chasing Harbans are actually looking for her. The bomb Kaala had placed in Oberoi's suitcase explodes during the chase and bursts the water pipes, causing a flood. Nitin, Anjali, Ram and Manpreet, initially unable to find the money, decide to split ways but Nitin spots the suitcase and calls them back.
