Audience were still not out of the horror of 'Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag' when on Friday they were again offered with another haunting production by auteur Ram Gopal Verma,"Darling". Neither horror, nor humorous, nor even a love triangle ..of what genre the film was, is yet a big question that only Ramu can answer.
Fardeen Khan, Esha Deol and Isha Koppikar play the lead in Darling. A bit of spice to the entire film was added by Nisha Kothari who appears in an item number and by Himesh Reshamiya's music. In fact it was the trendy and hip hop music that lured me towards watching such a disaster.
The Story says......
Aditya (Fardeen Khan) is married to Ashwini (Isha Koppikar). He is in love with his secreraty Geeta(Esha Deol). Aditya refuses to tie the nuptial knots with Geeta. When refused of marriage and asked to abort the child, Geeta loses her nerves and accidently dies. She then appears as a ghost to take her revenge. Not a tinge of horror I could experience throughout the film. However the giggles of the children and other audience in the theatre could be heard at all the point the ghost of Geeta appeared.
Among all the three leads only Esha Deol could manage to act. Fardeen was too mechanical and Isha was not offered much to prove her calibre. The Direction, story, background score were below average.
Darling doesn't work for me. I am still not able to digest if this was a Ramu's creation. Will someone tell me what has gone wrong with him? Is he the same man who made Vaastu Shastra, Satya, Company, Pyaar Tunne Kya Kiya, Sarkar and Rangeela and set the box office on fire????
