De Dana Dan Page #4

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.

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.
