Darna Zaroori Hai

Old movies have a different flavour.

Thriller, unpredictable, entertainer Miss those days.

As i said five kids are there who go into the forest for the purpose of trekking. But then clouds gather up and they get stuck and deciding not to go back they enter a nearby cottage. Over there they meet an old lady who tells them 5 horror stories.One about a Professor then one about a family man then one about a man whose car breaks down and then one about a film director. I think Ram Gopal Verma is following the footsteps of Ramsay Brothers, but his horror flicks are subdued and still thrilling. You just cant predict what when and how something will happen. Kudos to Verma. Not an excellent movie but the thick star cast and thrilling antics can still manage to lure you into the movie theatre. All in all, not that bad. Go watch it!

Its one of the best work of Ram gopal verma and must watch for ramu's fans. The film is out of box thinking though very simple message is attached to it. Its good that he has broken the typical horror movie of Ramsay Bros. trend. Don't miss the first 15 minutes of the movie ! If you miss it, You don't deserve to watch this movie. Though having six different stories , they all are blended very well. I must say that though Ramu haven't given hits like DDLJ or KKHH , but he is the most intelligent director and far ahead with his contemporaries. This is one of his successful experiment. Amitabh is at his usual best and have given excellent facial expressions. The characters seem to perfectly fit.

Darna Zaroori Hai proves to be the same as Darna Mana Hai...even the suspense in the stories is similar..one more thing is that the movie appears to be a little old as most of the child actors have grown up now..we see Shweta Prasad who also played a major role in Iqbal recently..the child actors from Koi Mil Gaya and Raju Chacha are also there..it seems Ram Gopal Varma put the discarded stories of Darna Mana Hai in this one...still the movie is worth a watch. watch out for the Amitabh Bacchan story as its a real shocker..overall good acting performances by all actors even though their roles were minuscule. lets hope we see more movies of this type in the future.

Darna Zaroori Hai is less about spine-chilling horror and more about quirky experiments in storytelling. It's uneven-half the stories work, half don't. Fans of RGV's offbeat style may enjoy the unpredictability, but those looking for pure horror may be disappointed.

Worth watching for its experimental format and performances (especially the Amitabh-Ritesh episode), but don't expect consistent scares.
