The
inevitable
has
happened.
Owing
to
popular
demand,
'Gale
Lag
Ja'
-
the
rain
song
and
dance
number
featuring
the
lead
pair
of
Akshay
Kumar
and
Katrina
Kaif
-
has
been
added
to
the
film's
narrative.
Though
this
much
hyped
song
had
created
quite
some
buzz
en
route
to
the
release
of
De
Dana
Dan,
it
was
chopped
off
from
the
final
copy
of
the
print
since
it
was
adding
to
the
film's
length.
However,
the
makers
of
De
Dana
Dan
were
open
to
the
idea
of
incorporating
the
song
as
an
added
bonus
if
audiences
demanded
so
and
the
film
worked
at
the
box
office.
With
weekend
collections
being
quite
strong
worldwide,
the
final
call
was
taken
around
bringing
back
the
song
in
the
narrative.
Confirms
Ratan
Jain,
producer
of
De
Dana
Dan,
"We
were
clear
that
the
song
would
be
added
only
if
the
film
did
well
at
the
box
office.
There
was
no
point
doing
that
if
(God
forbid)
people
wouldn't
have
been
going
into
theatres.
Now
that
the
weekend
collections
are
out,
we
know
that
there
would
be
repeat
audiences
for
the
film.
For
them,
it
would
be
another
incentive
to
watch
the
film
again
while
for
the
first
timers,
it's
an
added
bonus."
Since
the
film's
running
length
is
a
little
less
than
3
hours
already,
would
the
incorporation
of
song
be
of
any
further
impact?
"No",
says
Jain,
"The
length
of
De
Dana
Dan
is
still
the
same.
To
compensate
for
those
4-5
minutes
of
the
added
song,
we
have
edited
an
equal
duration
of
a
few
scenes
from
the
film."
'Gale
Lag
Ja'
would
now
appear
in
the
first
half
of
the
film
at
the
point
when
Akshay
calls
Katrina
to
the
hotel
in
order
to
share
the
kidnapping
plan
and
then
run
away
with
the
ransom
amount.
Meanwhile,
Ratan
Jain
is
ecstatic
with
the
kind
of
collections
that
the
film
is
showing
with
every
passing
day.
"Saturday
and
Sunday
were
far
better
than
Friday
while
Monday
was
more
or
less
similar
to
Friday,
which
is
superb",
he
says,
"Normally,
films
fall
quite
rapidly
on
Monday
but
we
have
stayed
on
very
stable
grounds.
The
collections
are
superb
overseas
as
well,
whether
in
UK,
Gulf
or
elsewhere.
In
India,
we
have
seen
Rs.
23
crores
coming
in
just
from
the
weekend
which
is
superb.
All
our
distributors
are
very
happy
and
we
are
all
set
for
a
bountiful
first
week."
