‘De Dana Dan’ - A National integration film?!

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,December 02 2009]

‘De Dana Dan’ can be aptly called a true Indian film, we say. Ok jokes apart…

Interestingly this comedy caper of Priyadarshan has given place for every type of Indian. From the director to the lead star and even crew, all come from different origins of the country. Going by the cast list, there are Punjabis, Tulu, Gujarati, Telugu… while in the film these actors take on characters totally different from their dialects.

Said Priyadarshan, “De Dana Dan could well be promoting national integration. Yes, the actors are from all part of the country but it is very important that all people are Indian first.”

While Suniel Shetty shared that, “This is one film where individual brilliance never mattered at all. There are as many as 26 characters in the film and everyone is so integral to the narrative. Every scene moves ahead with the introduction of each and every character. Other than the cast, every crew member too has made a difference to the way the final product has shaped up. The results are there to be seen.”

Hmm, an eye-opener, we say… Then we wonder about other films which has similar assembled cast…? What say?
