The new supposedly horror flick from “The Factory” – ‘Darna Zaroori Hai’ should actually have been named ‘Darna Mana Hai’ because there is no component in the movie that frightens you. Yes, there are a few ‘thuds’ and ‘creaks’ that shake up your cushion chair, but that’s all about it.
The outcome of each of the story is very much predictable and that negates all possible chances of you getting frightened or horrified. Sound and flashes do some magic though. Of all the stories, only the professor-student incident seems a little good (may be because it’s directed by the man himself – RGV), all others have a scent of insanity or have a high guess value. There is no need to bite your nails or clasp armrest of your chair saying – ‘What next’.
RGV has used different directors for each narration so that the episodes look distinct and that there is no repetitiveness. However, the attempt has failed miserably. Over a period when people mature and give something realistic, RGV on the other hand has slipped down the scale, as far as horror theme is concerned. If I had to rank some of his horror movies on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being best and 0 being the worst), they would be (personal opinion)
# Raat – 10
# Vaastu Shastra – 7
# Bhoot – 6
# Darna Mana Hai – 3
# Darna Zaroori Hai – 1 (or even 0 for that matter)
“The Factory” has exhausted on its quota for horror movies and I feel they should seriously attempt sci-fi, psycho thrillers or even love sagas. Their Pandora’s box has now drained out on horror and underworld stories.
Hopefully we get to see some intense movies (like Shiva, Sarkar) in the near future. A forthcoming attraction where 55-year-old man falls in for a girl much younger to him would be an interesting episode. Till then let’s hope that RGV comes back full fledged into a directorial role.

The weekend was bad, rather not so good; my back ache had buckled me to the bed, not allowing me to stay in one position for more than 4-5 minutes. I was surfing through the television channels lying on bed, and soon I noticed that I was doing nothing but going from 0 to 54 (that is the only number of channels I have on my television) and then again 0 to 54, and then again and again. I was tired watching that Indo-Pak terror debate, reality shows were irritating me, and I couldn’t handle any more breaking news with my broken back, neither was I interested in any kind of saas-bahu or the rona-dhona type of soaps, south Indian films dubbed in hindi were a big NO, I was in no mood for business news either, I had also had enough of Ghajini and Rab Ne trailors, songs, and reviews. I remember, only thing that possibly kept me glued to any particular channel was the advertisements – Limca (I love this ad for its jingle, the zing, and the babe, of course), Raymond, Bingo , few insurance

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I am not sure if I know you but yes our taste of filmmakers do match to some extent. Even I admire Madhur Bhandarkar's work to a great extent. Nagesh Kukunoor and Prakash Jha are among my other favs.
Cheers

Ofcourse, he brought a new kind of horror stuff..where most of the play rules on FEAR..instead of those irritatingly funny masks from Ramsay movies. Yet, one of my favs happens to be "Kaun",which is a thriller-but-not-horro flick.
RGV is innovative for sure,but offlate, his has become more of a businessman. that finesse is diminishing and limitations are glaringly visible. In that aspect, i rate Maniratnam was a superior Film-maker.
these.
