De Dana Dan Page #14

Synopsis: Singapore-based Nitin Bankar's education was paid for by his employer, Kuljeet Kaur, and he, after the passing of his father, works as an unpaid maid-chauffeur for her until such time he pays off whatever she had spent. He is in love with gorgeous Anjali Kakkad but her father refuses to give his consent for this alliance. Desperate to get out of this situation, Nitin attempts suicide, albeit in vain, and then cooks up a scheme to abduct Kuljeet's pet, Mulchand, demand a hefty ransom, and then marry Anjali. He seeks assistance from his equally deadbeat-courier deliveryman, Ram Mishra, who wants to wed tall and pretty Manpreet Oberoi, and both book a room in Pan Pacific Hotel. However, Murphy's Law and a host of assorted characters get involved - resulting in hilarious and uncontrollable chaos.

Fine, we'll pay you. - Pay me.

- Bag. - Come on.

We don't have to see the money...

...we need to flee with it. Come on.

Who are you?

Swami Krishna Murari.

- Why do you want to kill him?

I was asked to kill him.

- To kill you?

Not me, I was told you kill you.

- Who was it?

It's the principle of our business.

We never reveal the party's name, sir.

To hell with your principles.

You can beat me as

much as you want, sir.

But I won't tell you his name.

I can give his photo.

You're lying, scoundrel.

If you didn't ask him to kill him...

...then, how did he get

hold of this photograph?

The photograph proves nothing.

I've Mahatma Gandhi's

photograph in my house.

Does that mean I ordered

to assassinate him?

Sir, forget the photograph...

...he also paid memoney to kill him.

When did I give you money?

- I haven't written down the date.

And he said,"I'll pay you the rest...

when I see his dead body."

Sir, I won't lie.

It's my business.

Was he alone, or was there

someone else with him?

Sir, there was chicken curry

in my eyes.

That's why, I couldn't recognise...

...the one who gave me money.

Oh, so you eat from your eyes.

This is a conspiracy. A conspiracy.

It's this trickster's plan to cancel the marriage.

That's cancelled anyway. And, return

me all the money that I gave you.

What money? - You thief, your wife

took the money from me.

Ask her to return me my money.

I'll slap you silly.

He's lying.

Go ask your wife, whether she took

the money from me or not?

She took money from you too?

She took money from me as well.

She has cheated many

people with her beauty.

And him... he's her pimp.

You rascal, don't you dare...

Who is this rascal?

I've never seen him before?

Who is he? Who left him back here?

Oh, God I was sending my

daughterin such a disgusting family.

I want my money back right now.

Right now.

- I don't understand anything.

Let me explain...

first get your wife here.

Do you want to pounce

on her again?

Lusftul... I'll bring her wherever you want.

Butjust see that no one moves from here.

I'll be right back.

Pammi. Pammi. Pammi.

- What? - Why?

Another man... my money.

- My money.

Sir, please try to get

my money back as well.

What? Look, no one will

move until we know the truth.

Come on, sit here, sit here, sit down.

- But, why aren't you arresting him?

Sir, I cannot arrest him

on the basis of this photo.

Why are you here?

You must have heard about

the Bankar kidnapping.

That small boy.

Small boy? He's a grown up. Like an ox.

His kidnappers are hiding in this hotel.

Really? What is his name?

- Chadda?

Chadda?

- Chadda?

Ferocious criminal.

The police has been looking

for him for many years.

But Wilson, I don't understand...

why you don't arrest him?

Sir, I tried to catch him but every time,

he fools me and gives me the slip.

That fool was standing right before you.

Why didn't you catch him?

Who? Your relative?

- Oh, so he's the one.

I know where he is.

Come on...

Bloody hell.

He's... he's the one. Here he is.

Where are you running off too?

Where is my money?

What money?

When you snatched the money from me...

You said, you'll send back his dead body.

And now you say, "What money?".

So, it was you who gave

me the money.

Come on, Arjun. It's the money.

Be quick. - Be fast.

Come on, fast.

- Daddy your wife.

Wait. You lousy woman!

You idiot, the money is mine... - Stop!

I won't give the money.

My money...

Give me my money.

- Catch him!

Give me my money.

- Catch him!

Wait. - Stop. - My money...

- Your mother, father...

police.

Trying to run away

without giving my money.

First pay for the dead body...

and then, you can go anywhere you want.

I don't care.

Ram, give him as much money as

he wants. Get this over with.

But you will keep the dead body.

What will I do with it? - I don't know.

You can do anything. You can

do anything with the dead body.

Sell it to someone else, I don't care.

- Do anything you want.

What is it?

- He's the one.

He's the rascal who I gave

the money to. - Me?

Yes. The other day, you were

drenched in chicken curry.

So, that was you who

gave me the money.

And you said,

I'll get you the dead body.

He says he gave me the money.

There's a witch, she says

she gave me the money.

And, another fool says

he gave me the money.

Am I a dancing girl,

that everyone's giving me money?

Who says you gave me the money?

Which stupid fool gave me the money? Tell me.

Mmu. What are you doing here?

You two know each other.

He's Mamu.

- He's my man.

You said, your man didn't get

the money. - Yes, he didn't.

Open the door.

Listen carefully.

You sent your man to get the money

for the dead body. -Yes.

He's my man.

You heard that he gave him money.

Then, why did you say that

you didn't get the money?

But, I didn't get the money.

- You didn't give the money to Mamu?

You had to give Mamu the

money for the dead body

Mamu said, I'll collect the money...

...and, I'll deliver the dead body.

Just a minute.

Did you say that?

Then, why are you asking us

for the money?

I've brought the dead body.

Where did you get the deadbody from?

I didn't kill him yet.

Where did you get the dead body from?

No, this is not that dead body.

So, is this your father's dead body?

- Your father's dead?

My father's alive, he's going to

get married for the third time.

That's too much.

- There! Anjali!

Wait. Stop.

- Daddy.

Wait there.

- I'm coming. - Run!

Stop. He's the kidnapper.

Stop him. - Come on...

Wait there. Move aside.

Brother, listen...

Manpreet is missing.

I'm sure Chadda has kidnapped her.

Last night he threatened me.

If this marriage is cancelled then, he'll abduct Manpreet.

Chadda, I won't spare you.

Quickly.

Give me the money.

Water...

- Arjun...

Anjali.

- Catch mummy, Daddy.

Hey, you thief! Stop!

Be careful!

Anjali, hurry up. Be quick.

Come on. Come on, hurry up.

Hurry up. Be quick. Catch them!

No, no. This is too high.

- He's kidnapping my daughter.

Chadda's henchman.

You idiot, let go!

Let go! Let go! My money.

Quickly.

Let's jump.

- Shut up.

Where are you running to?

Return my daughter to me.

Leave her. Otherwise I'll kill you.

Anjali, come here. I said...

papa...

Which floor are we on...

Hey, let go. Leave!

Leave.

What's...

- Oh, my God!

Help.

Where are we going?

We reach the marriage dais,

then we'll get married.

Save me, this old man wants

to marry me. - Leave her.

You rascal, couldn't you

find anyone else to marry?

Ram, here...

You.

Witch, you won't ever leave me.

Kidnapper.

- I'm not the kidnapper.

You're about to die,

but you won't forget the kidnapper.

Forget the money.

The kidnapper is making

away with my money.

I'm ready to sell it to

whoever pays me.

Where is my daughter?

I saw her fleeing with someone.

Old man.
