Deewane Huye Paagal (2005) is a cult-classic Bollywood romantic action-comedy directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala. Although it shares a similar title and cast with the 2002 hit Awara Paagal Deewana, it is not a sequel but an unofficial remake of the 1998 Hollywood film There's Something About Mary. Plot Overview

The story follows Karan (Shahid Kapoor), who has been in love with Tanya (Rimi Sen) since their college days. After Tanya witnesses a murder by the underworld don Mehboob (Om Puri), she flees to Dubai and changes her name to Natasha.

Karan eventually tracks her down but hires a deceptive private investigator, Rocky (Akshay Kumar), to find her first. Chaos ensues as Rocky also falls for her and lies to keep Karan away. The situation spirals further as multiple other suitors—including the physically challenged Sanju (Suniel Shetty) and the eccentric Tommy (Paresh Rawal)—all compete for Tanya's affection through elaborate lies and schemes.
