Even Ghosts Wouldn't Approve Of This Farce. ♦ 11%

I won't talk about the plot of the film which heavily borrows from yesteryear flicks, local & foreign alike. Rather, I will talk about few sequences.

1. The protagonist closes his eyes, hugs a girl, folds his hands around her back and prays to the surrounding ghosts from leaving the girl alone. I'll leave the rest to your imagination. (The defensive power-play of the story turns into a survival drama.)

2. Consider a girl. She forbids her boyfriend from pestering her and goes on a drinking spree. Lets the charming ghost inside her and then attempts suicide. Saved by a security person, gets hugged by her boyfriend who just made out voraciously with a stranger. Then they run amok the mall premises and get inside a furniture shop (which staood open) where they try to make out in one of the dummy beds. This is what I consider horror than the scenes which actually involved blood & gore & screams.

3. Its probably midnight. After a party, another girl decides to practice her ice-skating lessons while simultaneously listening to music.

These are few of the hundred horrible scenes I had to watch in the 2 hours of comic screenplay. Probably the worst thing about this haggardly titled film is that no one scene is shown for more than 3 seconds. As a result nothing makes sense. The cast performance is hopeless, not to mention how much expectations I had from Jimmy Shergill.

With a story so commonplace, Darr @ The Mall is the worst this year. Last year's "Horror Story" scared me more.

BOTTOM LINE: Not recommended!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO

Sex/Porn: No | Mouth-Kiss/Foreplay: Strong | Alcohol: Strong
