If the idea of the filmmaker was to scare the audience then he hasn't succeeded. If it was meant to make them laugh then it hasn't worked. In a way it has, cause the audience might laugh at the filmmakers sense of horror. In retrospect, it's predecessor, 'Darna Mana Hain' seems like a masterpiece. Unfortunately it was a box office disaster despite its unique concept.

'Darna Zaroori Hain' has the same concept as 'Darna Mana Hain'. It's six stories grouped together with a common story linking them.

The first story, which is actually a sort of promo for the film is funny in a silly way. We aren't surprised as it's directed by Sajid Khan! We can't say much about his sense of humour. It's about a mother warning her overgrown son against taking the short cut through a graveyard. The reason is it's Friday the 13th and to make things worse it's 'amavas ki raat'. There's a witch who kills people on these nights. The obvious happens. But the scary end is more hilarious than scary.
