I am disappointed with this movie. Darna mana hai was new in its own way and had some good stories. Darna zaroori hai reflects bollywood's (creatively failed)efforts to cash in on DMH. If you show me Fight Club once i will... Full review

Just got back from watching this movie at Sathyam Cinemas (Chennai). It was very well executed, and technically, I'd say it was better than "Darna Mana Hai".The stories themselves are similar to the ones in the first film. This movie... Full review

Varma is one of Bollywood's extroverts; and one of the industry's most talented, proven prospects.
