Dhana 51 is a 2005 Indian Telugu-language romantic action film[1] directed by R. Soorya Kiran and starring Sumanth and Saloni Aswani with Mukesh Khanna in a negative role.

Structural similarities were found between the plot of this movie and the 2008 Kannada film Bindaas penned by Janardhana Maharshi.

[3] The title was changed from 51 to Dhana 51 because Sumanth's previous films named after the hero's character (Satyam and Gowri) were box office successes.

[1] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and opined that "Dhana 51 suffers with inadequate screenplay, uneven narration and confused characterization.

[7] Ravi Kalaga of Full Hyderabad wrote that "A remake in the essence, albeit with changes in the locations, songs, sidekicks and vocations of the actors, Dhana is essentially a cut-copy-paste version of their earlier enterprise [Satyam], with new fonts and colors (literally!)".
