De dhana dhan - a disaster

You know what this movie reminded me of?
Just recently I heard of a movie, the story of which revolves around a couple who lose their memory and then they are hunted down by people who saw the movie this couple made.
This move, de dhana dhan, made me feel like tracking down the makers and bashing them dhana dhan.

It had no elements of Hera Pheri. The characters were totally new., only the actors were the same. There was no simpleton baburao who made you laugh for no rhyme or reason. There was a story, but a very complicated one. There were so many characters and plots that you actually forgot some characters when they were not part of an ongoing scene.
It just felt as if the director was given a bunch of actors to employ and he had to create a movie with those people.

I didn't even feel like appreciating the acting and comic skills of the actors. The whole movie just made me keep yawning and looking around to see how the audience was reacting. My point was reassured by the blank and bored stares I got back from people.

There were songs too in the movie. And they were all focussed on Katrina and Akshay. It was more about their (hardly developed) love story.It would have been better if it was a love story and not a comic confusion.
Actually the confusion was built into the movie. So much so that even the characters looked confused as to their existence. Maybe the director was directing two movies and thought they were so similar that he brought them together as one sing;e three hour movie.

Take my word, its a torture! Please don't bother!
