De Dana Dan Page #8

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.

with great difficulty.

What now?

I can't go back without Anjali.

Go, and book a room in this hotel.

What are you doing here?

And, how did you come here?

You said, that I'll come with you...

...even if you call me

before my last nuptial round.

So, here I am.

Are you joking, or being serious?

My entire family,

relatives everyone is here...

...and, keeping a watch on me.

If I come with you

without informing them...

Think carefully

before you do anything.

Just tell me the time.

That time hasn't arrived yet.

So, when will it arrive?

There are only three days

left for the marriage.

As soon as I get the money, I'll take you along.

I've been waiting for that.

I don't understand

what you're saying.

Tell me everything clearly.

Listen. We've kidnapped a dog.

What?

Hello, hello, yes.

Sir, there's a call for you,

Yes.

Excuse me, Ram. Phone?

Yes. There you go.

Did you call Mamu?

Yes, Mamu said he's

sending someone.

I've said, I'll beholding

an orchid flower...

...so that he can recognise me.

The code is "I'm Mamu's man."

What? What?

- I'll be carrying orchid flower.

Hello, where are you?

- I'm Mamu's man.

In the cupboard.

Hello. Hello, Mishra. Mishra.

Lost connection.

Thank you.

What did he say?

The photographs have arrived.

Let me take a look.

This is so nice, isn't it?

That's great.

This is a sign, marking the beginning

of our strong relationship.

I'll keep this photograph.

You can take it, I'll get

another one made. - Yes.

Excuse me.

Take a seat, sit down.

I need your help.

Actually, I've spent all the

money I'd brought with me.

You know, the hotel's decorations,

dancers... - Yes.

And, for the food.

So, for the next two days

I'm a little low on cash.

Because, tomorrow and the

day after are bank holidays.

So, by Monday morning...

...I'll give you all the money

that we had discussed.

That's okay, you can give me

whenever it's convenient.

Okay. Yes.

Come with me,

I need to talk to you.

Why did you say that

you don't want the money?

He'll keep making excuses

after the marriage...

...and, you'll have to beg him.

So, what's the hurry?

- Maybenot for you, but I'm in a hurry.

I need a lot of money.

- Why?

I need to buy jewellery,
