Synopsis – Money Hai toh Honey Hai is the story of 6 different characters. Bobby (Govinda) is a happy go lucky kind of guy, who lives for today, doesn’t bothering much about the future. Lala Bhai (Manoj Bajpai) wins a lottery and becomes wealthy, but within months he’s on the roads as he’s not a good businessman. Gaurav (Aftab Shivdasani) works as a copywriter in an ad agency. He’s an honest and sincere guy and it shows in his honest ad campaign. He gets fired from his company and dumped by his girlfriend. Manik (Upen Patel) is a struggling model, but his endorsement is limited to cheap undergarments so far. He comes in contact with Dolly Kumari, a successful and single middle-aged fashion designer (Archana Puran Singh). Hoping she may recommend him for a bigger campaign, he sleeps with her, against his wish though. Ashima Kapoor is a very successful TV star but she’s not happy with her career and desperate to do films as lead heroine. She finally gives up TV and waits for the right break, but her goody-goody ideal daughter-in-law image still haunts her and she only gets offers for supporting actress. Shruti (Celina Jaitley) is a struggling dress designer, who sells her designs to Dolly Kumari in cheap price. Dolly Kumari puts her own tag and sells the same clothes in more than double price.

One fine day, they all get an SMS from some Mr. Jaiswal, who tells them they are the owner of his group of companies. Initially they ignore it but finally arrive at the resort. After the formalities of transferring the ownership, they are very happy and in a celebration mood but it doesn’t last for long. The lawyer reveals that there’s a loan on the company and they must repay it and till they repay the loan, they would be house arrested.

Mumbai, Dec 7 (ANI): 'Dus Kahaniyaan', which released today across the country has ten stories as the title of the film suggests, and takes forward the latest trend of multiple stories in a single film that was recently showcased in films like Salaam-e-Ishq, Darna Zaroori Hain and Darna Mana Hain.

'Dus Kahaniyaan' is a celluloid mosaic of 10 short films scripted by 12 writers and has an ensemble cast of 25 actors. The star cast of the film includes veterans like Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah who will be seen together on the silver screen after two decades.

Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Nana Patekar, Dino Morea, Aftab Shivdasani, Neha Dhupia, Tanushree Dutta and Mandira Bedi are also in the film's different stories.

The directors' list for the film includes Sanjay Gupta along with others like Hansal Mehta, Meghna Gulzar, Apoorva Lakhia, and Jasmeet Dhodhi. Rohit Roy, an actor, makes his debut as a director in this film.

The film is a Sanjay Dutt presentation in association with Eros International and White Feather Films.

The producer and director Sanjay Gupta known for his earlier films like Kaanta, Zinda, Khauff and Musaffir to name a few is very upbeat about this film.

"What is different here is that none of the films are connected to each other, they are not of the same genre. They deal with different aspects of society and they are also set in different time frames. Each film has its own universe, has got its own space, look and style," said, Sanjay Gupta.

Telly actor Rohit Roy who besides acting in this movie has also directed one of the 10 short films says that this flick has put his creative abilities to test.

"As a filmmaker you have actually conceived the whole concept, you work on a script, get your actors together, finish the film, edit it and then you leave that process. For me working for ten days on the film 'Rice Plate' has been a much more satisfying experience than my ten years of acting," Rohit said.

Actress Minissha Lamba expressed her liking for the role she essays in this movie.

"Apart from my first, mostly I have portrayed urban characters. This is the first time I have played a traditional character. This is not today's story, it dates back by around 10-20 years and is set in a village near Chandigarh where they live," added Minisha.

On the whole, it is a cornucopia of ten stories with the interesting plots outnumbering the less interesting ones, which could well turn out to be the factor that will give it a good box office run. (ANI)

It is a Hollywood copy."According to Director Vikram Bhatt, the movie revolves around a particular incident that brings all the characters together.

"There are several characters in the movie and one incident brings them together. There are a few people who do not want this event to happen, while the other characters do their best to make it happen. This is the basic storyline," said Bhatt.

Actor Zayed Khan said: "All the songs are really nice. When it is Pritam, music has to be something really good. He has his hand on the pulse of audiences.

"According to some reports, the movie produced by Harry Baweja, is inspired by the Hollywood flick 'Cellular'. (ANI)
