De Dana Dan Page #9

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.

Oh, no what's wrong with him now?

He must be drunk. Drunkards.

It runs in the blood.

Careful, don't give

Are you telling me fairy tales,

or telling me the truth?

A small mistake, can ruin

our entire life, Ram. - I know.

Everything was going fine.

But suddenly, Nitin disappeared.

Where did he go?

All I know is that he's

stuck in some cupboard.

Which cupboard?

I don't even know,

is it a place, person...

...or a real cupboard.

Hello, Nitin here.

Where are you?

Get Mishra on the line.

- Okay.

He's asking for you.

Hello. Where are you, you idiot?

I'm stuck in some cupboard in

one of the rooms in this hotel.

Please get me out of here somehow.

I'm stuck in here.

Which room?

- I don't know.

Which floor?

- I don't know.

Hello... Mishra.

Oh, no.

I've lost connection again.

Hello, Nitin.

Lost him again.

Ram, what happened? Where is he?

Hello, papa. I'm coming right away.

I'm saying this for the last time.

My marriage is on Friday.

If you don't take me along

before that, then goodbye.

What happened, Ram?

Nitin.

Nitin. Nitin. Nitin.

Just because I'm five minutes late...

...these people don't

spare the waiters.

No one will know,

if I take a sip from this.

I'll have a bite from this,

they'll never know.

Hot, hot...

You thief.

What did you just do?

First of all, you serve us

your leftovers.

And make us pay for it too.

Let me tell the manager.

I won't do it again,

you can have a bite too.

Do I look like a beggar to you?

I'll tell your manager about this.

With great difficulty,

I've got this job.

I beg of you.

Don't inform the manager,

I'll do as you say.

You'll do as I say? - Yes I will do.

But, don't ask me to jump

from the terrace, or in a well.

Fine, I won't tell your manager.

And, if I'm pleased

I'll also pay you.

But, will you do as I tell you?

What will I have to do?

Hey, corrupt mind,

its for my friend.

My friend Nitin is stuck in a

cupboard in one of the rooms.

I was searching for him.

I couldn't find him, so I told

you because you're the waiter.

How can I find him?

There are 400 rooms

in this hotel, sir.

I can't look for him in each room.

Strange man.

No, no... I'll look for him.

But I need some time, sir.

You can take as much time as you want.

But, if you don't find my Nitin.

Then just watch what I do with you...

- I'll find him, I'll find him.

Don't worry, sir.

Coming. Coming.

Yes?

Who are you?

Close the door & come in.

Who are you?

- Lets forget that, and come to the point.

I know everything.
