De Dana Dan Page #2

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.

If he asks for me, tell him

I've gone to China.

What will I tell him if he asks me

why you have gone there?

To eat snakes.

- What if he doesn't believe me?

Then tell him, that the snake was poisonous

and, I died after consuming the snake.

Are you Chadda?

- Yes, I'm Chadda.

Let's go to the police station.

- But, why?

Many of your cheques have bounced...

...I've been searching all overfor you,

for the past 1 month.

And, you ask why.

- Oh... that's not me.

That's my daddy, Harbansh Chadda.

Where is he?

- He's gone to China.

But your receptionistjust

told me that he's inside.

She must be referring to me.

You see, I'm Chadda and

my daddy is also Chadda.

When is that fraud returning?

- He never informs.

Whenever I come here, he's always

in some different part of the world.

I've just four months

left to retire.

And, I want to apprehend

that fraudster before that.

In all my years of police service...

...I haven't come across

a conman like him.

Inform me as soon as he returns.

Otherwise, I'll be compelled

to seal his office,

his property... and all his bank accounts.

Get that? - Yes.

Let go.

Mulchand. Mulchand. Let go.

Let go, you dog.

Let go. Let go.

Let go.

Here.

Nitin.

- Yes, madam.

You dare mock me.

It was such an expensive pant,

and you tore it.

I'm going to deduct eight months salary.

I want to say something.

- Say it.

If this continues.

Then I'll never be able to repay the loan that,

my father borrowed from you.

Every time...

Every time I try to do something good

that dog ruins everything.

You dare call him dog.

He's my son.

He's your master.

Behave respecftully with him.

Call him, Mr. Mulchand.

Mr. Mulchand.

Go and apologise to him.

What will you say?

Sorry, Mr. Mulchand.

- Yes. Now go and get my car ready.

I'm getting late for office,

because of you.

Here we go.

Be quick, you donkey.

What's this audacity?

First you tore my clothes.

And, now you tore your

own clothes as well.

Madam, my suit was always torn.

There are holes everywhere.

The buttons are dangling.

I've been using this suit with the help

of safety-pins for so many years.

Come on, Madam.

Buy me a new suit.

Didn't your father wear

this suit for many years?

But he never complained.

Diwali is approaching.

I'm flat broke.

I'm your driver

please buy me a suit.

I've thought of something for Diwali.

You will like it.

Now, don't blabber

and delay me further.

Drive faster.

Good morning, madam.

Hello, madam.

- Good morning, madam

Good morning, ma'am.

Madam, this is the collection

from our Millennium Mall.

Have you counted them?

- Yes, madam.

Here's the account.

This is the collection

from our petrol pump.

And, this is the collection

from our restaurant.

Give me the accounts, and

deposit this money in the bank.

Okay, madam.

Madam, should we give everyone

Diwali bonus this month?

Diwali is an Indian festival,

this is Singapore.

No bonus.

Look at the price before

placing the order. Got it?

One...

- Yes, dad.

Yeah.

What's wrong, daddy?

- That officer has come here too.

But he doesn't know you,

what's the problem?

But, that other foolalong

with him, knows me.

He filed a case against

me for bounced cheques.

I know, when that moustached

man arrives tell him.

That I had to leave for an

urgent meeting. Get it?

And, you see the girl and

say yes, no matter how she is.

I'll meet you back at the office.

Look forward, look ahead.

Come, dear come.

Come.

Come, Mr. Chadda.

We were waiting for you.

Actually, daddy is slightly busy...

...so, I've brought his wife along.

Hi, I'm pammi.

- Glad to meet you.

This is my daughter, Anjali.

Nonny.

- Hi!

If you two want to talk in private

you'll can sit alone.

There's nothing to talk about.

- But, I want to talk.

Don't feel shy.

It's a good thing to know each

other before getting married.

Go, go dear.

At the corner?

You're so young.

You don't look like Nonny's mother at all.

I'm not Nonny's mother.

I'm Chadda's second wife.

Look, I love someone else.

And, I'm pregnant with his child.

- What?

My daddy asked me

not to tell you this.

But, if you're ready to

accept someone else's child

Then, I'm ready too.

Look, if you don't marry her we won't

get the rest of the dowry.

And, if we don't get the dowry

how will we repay the debts.

But...

- I need to repay so many...

Nine arrest warrants have been

issued against me.

But, Daddy she says

that she's pregnant.

So what?

It's a scheme.

Just like, get a comb free

on a pack of soap.

It's such an interesting offer.

You'll marry the girl,

and get the child free.

But, daddy the child belongs

to someone else...

Be quiet, and eat your food.

You will get married at any cost.

Eat your food.

- Daddy.

This is my daughter,

Manpreet Singh Oberoi.

And this is my brother-in-law...

Mr. Paramjeet Singh Lamba,

Indian Ambassador.

And, this is Mrs. Lamba.

I've heard a lot about you, sir.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

- Thank you.

In India, Diwali is celebrated

by playing cards.

It's the same here too.

Do you see that?

They're one of the richest

families in Singapore.

Mr. Brijmohan Oberoi.

He has enough money to

last four generations.

Really?

- But, he has only one daughter.

But the planet Mars is

affecting her horoscope.

He requires a boy that

has a similar horoscope...

Only then can she get married.

Otherwise, everything is useless.

Bet. Bet.

- Yes, on 44. Yes.

- Yes.

Harbansh Chadda.

- Brijmohan Oberoi.

Oberoi?

- Yes,

Are you punjabi?

- Yes.

You're punjabi, I'm a punjabi.

Come on, give me a hug.

We're originally from India.

- Really.

And settled down here with

a good business, - Very good.

But, there's something that's

irritating me. - What?

We get to meet only

at such occasions.

Otherwise, the entire day

we're busy making money.

What's the use of this money?

- You're absolutely right.

My son, Nonny.

- Nonny Chadda. - Okay. Hi.

He's from Harvard.

And, he's a top class graduate.

- Okay.

But it's useless.

- Why?

He isn't getting married.

- What are you saying?

God has made such a

peculiar horoscope of his.

Look. The girl and the boy should

have the same horoscope.

And, she should have mars

in her horoscope.

Now, where will I find such a girl?

Please continue, playing Mr. Oberoi.

Daddy.

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

- Yes.

Daddy, what's wrong with

my horoscope?

There's nothing good about it.

Since you were born,

I've been seen bad times.
