Are you one of the people who love watching spine-chilling thrills but don’t find the movies scary enough? Most new horror films are filled with jump scares, but they don’t leave a lasting impact. While most modern films often than now fail to deliver a gripping factor, some old films will get you on the edge of your seat.
One such forgotten gem is Darna Zaroori Hai (2006), back on the OTT platform, this film is regaining a lot of attention. Despite its average IMDb rating of 5.5, this movie will catch you off-guard and leave your pulse-pounding.
The film begins with five children who get lost in a forest. As they go in search of assistance, they come across an old, desolate house. Inside, there is an elderly woman who agrees to tell them six horror tales. However, there is a catch—someone who can manage to hear the six stories without getting afraid will be declared victorious. What starts as an enjoyable challenge eventually turns threatening. With every story, the horror becomes more terrifying, and the children who were acting brave initially, start feeling even more terrified with every tale.
As the title suggests “Darna Zaroori Hai”, lives up to its name ensuring that “It’s important to be scared”. It consists of several short horror tales, each scarier than the previous one. Each of the tales is unique and scarier than the other – some are supernatural, some psychological, and some just play havoc with your mind.
The film features a huge star cast like Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, Rajpal Yadav, Arjun Rampal, Sonali Kulkarni, Bipasha Basu, and others. Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, the film is a sequel to Darna Mana Hai (2003).
What makes Darna Zaroori Hai even more special is that you will never know what’s coming next. The tale will make you keep wondering. Some scenes are so scary that they will make you recite “Hanuman Chalisa” if you are religious otherwise, you may want to cover your eyes or hug a pillow!
Produced on a huge budget, the film was made at a cost of ₹8.75 crores and grossed ₹10.65 crores at the box office. Although it wasn’t a superhit, it was recognised for actually being scary. Its rating on IMDb is 5.5, but die-hard horror fans still hold it in high regard.
You can now stream this movie from the convenience of your own home on Sony Liv. It‘s an ideal pick if you like horror with a good story and a great cast. However, if you are someone who is frightened easily, this movie could be a bit too much—some fans even joke that you‘ll have to recite the Hanuman Chalisa after every scene!
So, if you’re ready for a chilling horror experience, give Darna Zaroori Hai a try. Just make sure you’re not watching it alone at night.
