Darna Mana Hai (2003)

Tagged Under : ,

The first story is about a married couple Karan (Sohail Khan) and Anjali (Antara Mali) who get stuck in the middle of a forest. After the car stops suddenly, Karan gets out to investigate the problem. After his disappearance, and his constant cries for help from the desolated forest, Anjali runs in to attempt to rescue him. After finding Karan’s torch covered in blood, and being stalked by an unseen person or supernatural being, Anjali runs around panicking to find a hand reaching out of a swamp. She then becomes terrified to find that the hand is wearing a watch identical to her husbands. After failed attempts to rescue him, the hand disappears. Someone creeps up on her and as Anjali screams, it turns out to be Karan. Karan seems normal and fine while Anjali, whimpering, attempts to tell him that she heard him screaming. However, Karan tells her that he heard her screams from the forest when he went to retrieve water. She looks at the torch she is holding which is now clean of the blood and then hurries back to the car with Karan telling him to get them both out of there. After quickly fixing the problem with the water, Karan and the panicked Anjali climb into the car and drive off. After seeing the anxious and worried state of Anjali, Karan puts his arm around her as she leans on him and closes her eyes. He then smirks and looks into the rear view mirror of the car in which his reflection is not visible and Anjali seems to be leaning on nothing, thus conveying that he did die in the swamp and is now a ghost.

Story 2

The second story involves a photographer Anil (Saif Ali Khan) who checks into an inn while he is on his way to Mumbai. The manager and owner (Boman Irani) of the lodge is a strange and eccentric man and insists that smoking is strongly prohibited in his lodge. When Anil tries to go outside for a smoke, the man restricts him, telling him about the diseases that come along with smoking. The owner then locks Anil inside the lodge and tells Anil that in a matter of months, he can cure his smoking addiction. The owner takes Anil to a basement of sort and shows him piles of dead bodies, telling him that he tried but these people would not stop smoking. After a few months, Anil is now seen working in the lodge, and acting strange and eccentric himself. When a customer walks in smoking and asks him for a room, Anil tells him that smoking is strongly prohibited and then proceeds to shoot the man with a gun. The story ends with Anil and the owner sitting together, smiling and watching T.V., when an ad against smoking runs as a commercial.

This story is similar to the story sung in The Eagles’ ‘Hotel California’. It also shares many thematic elements with Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller ‘Psycho’.

Story 3

The third story is that of a school teacher (Raghuvir Yadav) who confronts a strange student, Pramila, who is always punished for not completing her homework. Then, suddenly she becomes a bright student and starts doing her homework regularly, but ironically, on her homework he sees she has drawn an (OM]) (showing the sign of god). This causes him to act strangely. After a few weeks, he decides to go to Pramila’s house. Her mother confronts him and he tells her mother that he murdered a bright classmate in jealousy and thinks Pramila is a (reincarnation) of the classmate and she drew the om sign to prove it. Later, the teacher loses his sanity.

Story 4

The fourth story revolves around a housewife (Shilpa Shetty) who buys “mysterious” apples from a strange vendor (Rajpal Yadav). When she gets home her husband (Sanjay Kapoor) eats an apple and finds it very tasty. The wife worries if something might happen to him after eating them as she found the vendor who sold the apples to her very suspicious. The next morning when she wakes up she is shocked to find an apple next to her instead of her husband. She is shocked when she realises that her husband has turned into an apple after eating it. So she runs outside and is even more shocked to see apples everywhere on the ground after every person who has eaten them has turned into them. The vendor man then appears with an evil look offering her his last apple for free.

Story 5

In the fifth story, an elderly man named John (Nana Patekar) is standing at a graveyard. A young man Amar (Vivek Oberoi) passes by and gives lift to John. Amar asks John why he was at the graveyard. (Amar thought that John’s wife is dead so he might have come to her cemetery). But John says that it is him who is dead. Amar dismisses it as a joke. After some more conversation, Amar gets irritated by John’s strange behavior. Amar, then gets out of the car and asks John to get out. Finally John says he works for MTV Bakra (Its a program on similar lines as Punk’d. Bakra means goat, a term in Hindi applied to someone who has been fooled.) and Amar is the first person who was not scared. Amar says that he was not scared because he knew beforehand that John was not a ghost. He tells him that he knew this because he himself is a ghost. John thinks that Amar is now trying to play a prank on him. But when Amar takes off his sunglasses, his eyes are hollow. When John sees this, he dies of shock.

Story 6

The sixth and final story is about a young student Purab (Aftab Shivdasani) and his love interest Abhilasha (Isha Koppikar). Purab contemplates suicide because Abhilasha rejects his advances and nobody else in his college likes him either. He rants about not being special in front of an idol. Later, he suddenly discovers that he has developed an extraordinary ability – he can to stop time for a particular person just by saying “stop” to them. Purab uses his ability to freeze Abhilasha. Thereafter, Purab is in his room looking into the mirror, rejoicing over the fact that Abhilasha won’t belong to anyone if she doesn’t belong to him. However, he accidentally says “stop” to the mirror, freezing himself. His father finds him like that in his room, with a victorious smile frozen on his face. He is immediately rushed to the hospital but nothing can be done for him.

As soon as the sixth story finishes, the students stranded in the forest hear another person coming towards the abandoned shack. It turns about to be Sushant Singh, who claims that it is in fact his shack where they are resting. He says that he had been listening to their stories, and it is now his turn to tell one. He tells them, that there is a serial killer in the forests who murders anyone who enters it in the night, and describes some of the murders that had happened recently. It turns out that he is the serial-killer, and he has murdered most of their friends. Only Shruti (Sameera Reddy) survives last and runs as fast as she can but the killer catches up with her, and stabs her. She manages to kill the serial killer and then falls unconscious. When Shruti wakes up next morning, she sees that the place is swarming with police. She tries to tell them what had happened but they can’t hear her. Then she is joined by her dead friends, that’s when she realizes that she too is dead.

Darna Zaroori Hai (2006)

Tagged Under : ,

Three years ago, Ramgopal Varma triggered off an experiment. He combined six different stories in one film called DARNA MANA HAI. Continuing with the ‘Darna’ series, he narrates six different stories once again in his new outing DARNA ZAROORI HAI. The difference this time is that the six stories are directed by six different directors, unlike the first attempt that had one director [Prawal Raman] calling the shots.

Tales about the unknown and the mysterious always hold an attraction for the audience. But for any horror film to scare the living daylights out of the viewer, it ought to be embellished with blood curdling and spine chilling stories. That’s the prime area where DARNA ZAROORI HAI falters.

Of the six stories that are juxtaposed in the new ‘Darna’ exercise, only one comes across as an eerie experience [Randeep Hooda, Zakir Hussain; dir.: Chekeravarthy], while two pass muster [Anil Kapoor, Mallika Sherawat; dir.: Jijy Philip / Arjun Rampal, Bipasha Basu, Makrand Deshpande; dir.: Prawal Raman]. The remaining three stories and also the story that binds them in a thread, of an old woman and five children, try hard to terrify and frighten the viewer, but in vain.

Let’s get this straight. ‘Scary’ is too strong a word for DARNA ZAROORI HAI. The film doesn’t even succeed in sending a slight shiver down your spine. Coming from the maker of spell-binding horror stories like RAAT and BHOOT, DARNA ZAROORI HAI is as forgettable as a week-old newspaper.

Story 1
Actor: Manoj Pahwa. Director: Sajid Khan.
Pahwa is a film buff. He watches every new release in the night show on the first day itself. Just as he readies himself to visit a nearby theatre to catch the new release DARNA MANA HAI, his mother cautions him against taking the route via the graveyard. Pahwa dismisses his mother’s plea since he doesn’t believe in ghosts. On his way back, he dies of cardiac failure outside the graveyard.

An interesting story, it keeps your interest alive till Pahwa decides to take the same route on his way back. The sequences in the theatre are hilarious. But the culmination to the plot is hardly scary. Ideally, the story could’ve done with a fear-provoking end. Pahwa works, but the story doesn’t. Sajid shows signs of a fine director.

Story 2
Actors: Amitabh Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh. Director: Ramgopal Varma.
An aged professor [Bachchan] believes there’s someone in his house. At times, the ‘invisible person’ rushes to the kitchen. Sometimes, he makes himself comfortable on the chair. Is the professor hallucinating? The professor tries to explain the situation to his student [Ritesh], who revolts and in fact advices him to seek psychiatric help. The ‘invisible man’ finally appears in the mirror.

Technically, this isn’t a scary story; it has more of shock-value. Also, it doesn’t create much of an impact. It tries to build the tension, but to no avail. The only time you get a jolt is when the ‘invisible man’ appears in the mirror. Bachchan and Ritesh are sincere, but RGV’s choice of the story is a downer.

Story 3
Actors: Arjun Rampal, Bipasha Basu, Makrand Deshpande. Director: Prawal Raman.
One fateful night, a stranger [Arjun] knocks on the doors of a secluded bungalow. His car has had a breakdown, he needs a mechanic, he ought to make a phone call. The couple [Bipasha, Makrand] living in this house is eccentric. Both constantly try to scare Arjun. When Arjun states that he doesn’t believe in ghosts and spirits, Makrand decides to call the spirits. There’s a knock on the door and the spirit refuses to go back.

The story has its moments. In fact, there are times when the viewer gets startled. Even the culmination to the story is unexpected. But the problem is that it takes too much time to reach the peak. Arjun is quite effective, while Bipasha and Makrand are satisfactory. Prawal’s storytelling is better this time.

Story 4
Actors: Suniel Shetty, Sonali Kulkarni, Rajpal Yadav. Director: Vivek Shah.
A Maharashtrian couple [Suniel, Sonali] have an unexpected visitor in the form of a weird salesman [Rajpal Yadav]. He claims to be an insurance agent, but in actuality he’s a thief who wants to rob the couple. In the melee that follows, Rajpal pulls the trigger of the pistol and bang!

Hello, how did this story merit a place in a horror film? Nothing wrong with the story per se, but the writer should be reminded that this is a horror film. In actuality, this one only carries a simple message: Never let a stranger in. Even Suniel and Rajpal’s decent work fail to infuse life.

Story 5
Actors: Anil Kapoor, Mallika Sherawat. Director: Jijy Philip.
A leading film-maker [Anil] wants to change lanes. After making a couple of family dramas, he is keen to make a horror film next. He decides to write the concluding portions of his script at his bungalow in Khandala. En route, he spots a lone lady [Mallika] and offers to give her a lift till Khandala. When they reach the film-maker’s bungalow, the lady tells him that she’s a ghost who had died on the Mumbai-Pune highway.

The conversation between Anil and Mallika in the car first and sequences in the bungalow next are involving. The story holds your attention till Mallika reveals her gameplan, of wanting to kill Anil. But the moment she reveals the truth — she’s only an aspiring actress, trying to impress the film-maker to bag the assignment — the viewer is left with the feeling that the director has taken him [viewer] for a ride. Anil is passable, while Mallika is efficient. Jijy is letdown by the writing!

Story 6
Actors: Randeep Hooda, Zakir Hussain, Rasika Joshi. Director: Chekeravarthy.
On a rainy night, a young man [Randeep] accidentally bumps into a woman. He is petrified. The next morning, when he opens his eyes, he finds himself in the police lock-up. He is accused of murdering a man. He claims he’s innocent. The cop [Zakir] refuses to buy the story. The mother of the victim [Rasika] arrives at the police station. And skeletons tumble out of the cupboard.

Truly, the best story of the enterprise. The entire track keeps you on the edge. The lengthy conversation between Randeep and Rasika first and Zakir and Rasika subsequently is brilliant. Chekeravarthy is in full form. Randeep, Zakir and Rasika excel.

Story 7
The old lady and five children. Director: Manish Gupta.
Five kids take shelter in a dilapidated bungalow. There’s an old woman in the house. She starts narrating stories. Slowly, the kids die of shock one after the other. Without doubt, the worst part of the enterprise. Unimaginative writing, lackluster direction.

On the whole, DARNA ZAROORI HAI lacks the power to scare, frighten, terrify and petrify. In fact, it’s as ineffectual as its predecessor DARNA MANA HAI. At the box-office, a major disappointment!
