Darna Jaruri Hai

A story full of strange and frightening things designed to entertain people is a horror story. This is how Oxford dictionary defines the meaning of a horror story. Horror is a feeling of great shock, fear and disgust. But it can still entertain you. In the same way, a story about funny things for the purpose of entertainment is a comedy story. How many people thought that Horror and Comedy could co-exit to entertain? Ramgopal Verma did, not once but twice. Exactly like Darna mana hai, Darna Jaruri hai has a main story which binds 5 stories. Each story directed by a different director. All equally good and entertaining. Ram Gopal Varma, Jijy Phillip, Sajid Khan, J D Chakravarthy, Vivek Shah, Prawal Raman all did a great job. The movie has a warm up story directed by Sajid Khan. Manoj Pawah's story gave the movie a good start. One can not stop laughing when Manoj opens his mouth. Audience will remember his performance for long. The film starts with a school picnic near a jungle. Out of adventure, 5 childern leave the cottage hotel and enter the jungle. They find a deserted house and are forced to stay there due to heavy rains. An old lady invites them inside and then she narrates them 5 fearsome stroies. First story: This is story of a eccentric professor(Amitabh Bachchan) and his student( Riteish Deshmukh) directed by Ram Gopal Varma. Second stroy: Story of a film director (Anil Kapoor) and a girl who takes lift in his car (Mallika Sherawat). This story is directed by Jijy Phillip. Third story : Story of a man (Randeep Hooda) whose car hits a woman on his way to Pune. Next morning he finds himself in police station charged with murder. J D Chakravarthy directed this episode. Fourth story : Story of a couple (Suniel Shetty and Sonali Kulkarni) whose door is knocked by a strange insurance agent ( Rajpal Yadav) directed by Vivek Shah. Sixth story : Story of a man (Arjun Rampal) whose car breaks down and he takes help of a strange couple (Bipasha Basu and Makrand Deshpande). Prawal Raman directed this story. At last if you want to see how ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’ can be used in a horror movie, you need to watch the movie.

Instead of Darna Zaroori hai..it shold have been titled as Film Banana Zaroori Hai??
Sadly, RGV and clan churned their old stories ala Darna mana hai, Vastu shatra, Bhoot and Raat to some extent and made a sequel...but what DZH lacked was content and strong plot....that ways the Sajid Khan directed first chapter and Chakraverty directed last one stood out...bang on target....however, was amazin to watch mallika performin...now that's what makes RGV different...can make anyone act....actually

PS: Neat blog...candid posts....
Happy postin : )
