Film Review-Darna Zaroori Hai

Starring: Half the film industry
Director: RGV himself and half a dozen of his assistants
Rating: * *
It's exactly Darna Mana Hai revamped. And RGV has said he is gonna make one movie of the Darna... series every year. My advice is thanks but no thanks.
I mean imagine the trauma that we have to go through. I would have been happy , if the movie would have been scarier to say the least. The biggest letdown is that its not even close to being scary.
There are 7 stories out of which I like the title story where he introduces the new film Darna Zaroori Hai, its been directed by Sajid Khan and I like the story featuring Bipasha, Arjun and Makrand, but its very similar to Vivek and Nana's story in Darna Mana Hai and lastly Anil and Mallika's story.
Not that these stories are outstanding or something but atleast bearable, the others including RGV's piece featuring Amitabh and Ritesh are a complete let down. The cinematography and sound work look low budgeted and patchy.
The performances are average. The ones that stand out are Amitabh, Makrand, Manoj Pawha and Randeep Hooda.
Only recommended if you have nothing to do and even the weak hearts can scrape through this movie without flinching their eyelid.
