Darna Mana Hai (English: Fear is Forbidden) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language anthology horror film. The film consists of six different short stories. It stars Nana Patekar, Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani, Shilpa Shetty, Sameera Reddy, Isha Koppikar, Saif Ali Khan, and Sohail Khan, among many others. Upon release, it met with an extremely negative response, despite the fact that it was a cult classic movie.[3][4][5][6]
Later in 2006, Ram Gopal Varma, the producer, spawned Darna Zaroori Hai, a sequel with a different ensemble cast, six new cinematographers, and seven different directors. Only Rajpal Yadav and director Prawaal Raman were back from the previous installment. Darna Mana Hai has been dubbed and released in Telugu with the same title.[7][8] It is loosely based on the 1997 film Campfire Tales.[9]

Campfire Tales is not exactly renowned, but its core concept is as timeless as it is adaptable. In the late-'90s anthology, four young people distract themselves with scary stories after a car accident. The same basic setup is indeed used for Darna Mana Hai, although everything else is completely different. So, Raman's anthology is a remake in only the loosest sense.
