Lets pan back 3 days back...I switch on my cell phone at 9:30 am and it croons the theme of Bunty Aur Babli...SMS received....I open the message to view it and see this "How about Darna Jaroori Hai saturday night?...At City Pride..Let me know immidiately so we can snag the tickets!"....Sender: Ms. AV..soon to be Mrs. AG...marrying one of my best friends she is.....My reply was .."YES!".....so everything was arranged...tickets for 8:00 pm show sat night were booked....and at 7:30 pm sat nite i get a threatening message from Ms. AV "Be at the theatre by 7:40 pm sharp!!..I dont want to miss the start!Mr. P la pan saang"....So me and Mr. P reach there a teeny weeny bit late...thanks to my hunger pangs...but still well in time to find out that we are seated in row O...Thats 2 rows away from the screen!!....I make my displeasure obvious..at which i get a strict reprimand from Ms. AV...."Mag svatah ticket kadhayla kay zhala hota??(Then why didnt you get the tickets yourself)!"...I shut my mouth thereafter and sit in my seat comfortably(or uncomfortably??)...Listening to Himesh bhai crooning out Jara Jhoom Jhoom from Tom, Dick and Harry(How can you name a film that?????) ....We have our usual argument on who is better, Rehman or Reshamiyya....Well as far the charts go, the answer is obvious....Nevertheless....Soon the promos of forthcoming movies start....One look at the Krrish promo and we all burst out laughing...even though we have seen it like 20 times before....Mr. P, infamous for his humourous sarcasm, dishes out a gem...how bout renaming it "Crouching Rakesh, Hidden Roshan.."..That makes Ms. AV(and quite a few partrons around us) burst out into peels of laughter....Then its the turn of Phir Hera Pheri ...and all of us say in almost pretimed unision..."Ha nakki pahichach aahe(we HAVE to see this one!)"....
Soon the certificate for Darna Jaroori Hai comes up...It has a "A" rating...and at that precise moment i hear a baby crying in one the back rows....Looks like age checks have ceased to exist in theatres....So much for "A" ratings....The movie has started by now..i shift my focus now to the immensely fat dude on the screen arguing with his mom to allow him to go through a graveyard...even though there is a chudail who comes out there....I mean...gimme a break....thats hardly scary....
Thats how it continued throughout the whole movie....Whole lot of cliched situations..like 5 kids with a old lady in an old castle....Reminded me of Scooby Doo..minus the charm of Scooby or Shaggy....Inane story lines....Amitabh is wasted....Arjun Rampal should stick to modelling.....Rajpal Yadav, as usual, impresses..Sunil Shetty, as usual, does not....The Anil Kapoor story(well almost the entire movie) had the entire theatre in splits...with oblique..no..quite direct references to Karan Johar...and his style of films....RGV has bitten hard into him....but otherwise that story is barely watchable...unless ofcourse you were focussing on Mallika's bust...and let alone scary...unless ofcourse you were focussing on Mallika's acting...
So all in all i can give the movie 1/2 a star...HOPELESS!!!!....And end with these lines:
"Dekhna Mana Hai, Hasna Jaroori Hai, Darna Namumkin Hai!!"
