It's basically a romantic comedy with sprinkles of glamorous action, and for those who can embrace humor in all its perversity! Vikram Bhatt has again teamed up with the macho duo of Akshay Kumar-Suniel Shetty who have given numerous hits in past including Hera Pheri. Movie has been lavishly shot in US and Dubai and also has a dog and parrot playing important roles along with popular starcast.

Deewane Huye Paagal begins as a sweet romance between a cute boy-next-door Karan (Shahid Kapoor) and the ravishing Tanya (Rimii Sen). The latter is the cynosure of two evil eyes because she is in the know of certain secret information. When Karan's friend coaxes him to track Tanya after she migrates to Dubai, he enlists the aid of a deceptively handsome investigator, Rocky (Akshay Kumar) to chase her down. But Rocky ends up falling in love with her at first sight. Meanwhile, Tanya's physically disabled friend, Sanju (Suniel Shetty) also has a soft corner for her and tries thwarting Rocky's attempts at getting close to Tanya.

Plot thickens when yet another unexpected party falls in love with Tanya, thus setting up a hilarious love pentagon with a gaggle of con men and a lovelorn flame-wannabe following her around like panting puppies. The funny climax, shot against the picturesque sand dunes of Dubai, is a mix of madness and mayhem!

Pritish Nandy Communications's Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina marks the directorial debut of writer Suparn Verma who has penned the scripts to movies like Qayamat, Zameen and Karam. He also had written the earlier Feroz-Fardeen combo flick- Janasheen.
Pritam of Dhoom fame who currently is also reigning high on the musical success of Chocolate has composed the music of this film and the theme piece in background sounds exciting. What's interesting is that while Koena Mitra shifts from item numbers to a full-fledged role in the film, the movie still is stuffed with item numbers by Rakhi Sawant, Mumait Khan and Zubein Khan. Feroz Khan appears last in intense kohl-lined eyes.
