The third story is that of a school teacher, who encounters a strange student � a little girl who's always punished for never doing her homework on time. The owner-manager-house keeper is an eccentric person, who hates cigarettes. The second story is that of a photographer, who books himself in an inn, en route to Mumbai. The first story is that of a young, married couple, who get stranded in the middle of a dense forest. Slowly, the conversation steers to grisly stories that some of the friends have heard/experienced. They find an abandoned ruin and light a bonfire. There's the seventh one too � that of the six friends who get stuck in a dense forest when their car breaks down. There're not one but six stories that have been woven in one single film. Either you'd like it for its sheer 'hatke' theme or you'd simply abuse the maker for ruining those two precious hours of your life� To be honest, there can be two diverse opinions after you've seen this flick. Ramgopal Varma's DARNA MANA HAI, directed by Prawaal Raman, is one such bold attempt at providing a 'hatke' film. Nevertheless, the effort needs to be lauded, for it defies the norms set out by makers of clich�d, formula-ridden films. It may/may not appeal to every individual's sensibilities, agreed. Hindi film-makers always talk in terms of 'hatke' storylines/content that their film offers.īut very rarely does a film-maker break the mould and come up with something that's truly, genuinely 'hatke'. 'Hatke' is a much-used-and-abused word in Bollywood.
