Spoofing
famous
Bollywood
films
on
TV
shows
has
been
happening
on
Indian
television
for
quite
a
while
now.
However,
we
saw
something
revolutionary
a
couple
of
weeks
back
when
Ghoom,
a
take
on
the
movie
Dhoom
was
released
in
theaters
with
full
publicity
and
media
coverage
like
a
big
feature
film.
Where
spoofing
a
film
is
a
full
fledged
business
in
Hollywood,
with
a
series
of
films
like
Scary
Movie
and
others
are
being
made
with
high
budgets,
in
India
there
has
been
a
very
small
market
for
spoofs.
Even
before
Ghoom,
many
Bollywood
spoof
films
were
released
in
India,
but
due
to
their
small
budgets
and
lack
of
publicity,
the
films
went
unnoticed.
Besides,
most
of
these
are
B-Grade
films.
The
only
publicity
they
do
is
through
posters.
One
of
the
upcoming
films
from
the
"genre" is
Marna
Zaroori
Hai.
From
the
title
itself,
you
must've
learnt
that
the
film
seems
to
be
a
take
on
RGV's
Darna
Zaroori
Hai.
The
film
is
being
directed
and
produced
by
Kanti
Shah.
For
those
who
haven't
ever
heard
of
Kanti
Shahji,
here's
a
brief
intro.
Kanti
Shah
is
the
spoofmaster
who
has
sincerely
devoted
his
life,
in
twisting,
turning
and
mix-matching
big
Bollywood
hits
and
remaking
his
own
version
of
the
films.
His
unoriginal
creations
like
Duplicate
Sholay
and
Kabhi
Kranti
Kabhi
Jung
are
so
stunning,
that
even
Mr.
Sippy
and
Mr.
Johar
will
wonder,
how
they
couldn't
think
of
ideas
like
Kanti
Shah
while
the
making
of
Sholay
and
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham
respectively.
His
last
film
was
Free
Entry,
a
spoof
on
Salman
Khan
starrer
No
Entry
which
is
out
now
on
dvd.
Anyways,
now
that
Mr.
Shah
is
trying
his
hand
in
the
difficult
horror
spoof
genre;
we
managed
to
get
a
publicity
poster
of
Marna
Jaruri
Hai
for
you.
Kanti
Shah's
film
posters
aren't
easily
available,
yet
we
managed
to
secretly
tear
out
one
pasted
on
the
'Ramu
chai
stall'
outside
Grant
Road
station,
exclusively
for
you.
The
poster
very
well
gives
us
a
gist
of
the
film.
The
scary
gruesome
looking
ghost
with
his
red
eyes
depicts
how
much
anger
he
has
and
might
kill
everyone
in
the
film.
The
face
of
the
women
screaming
on
the
left
side
of
the
poster,
with
her
mouth
opening
doubly
wide
depicts
that
no
amount
of
shouting
and
yelling
will
save
you.
Also
the
bats
on
the
upperside
and
the
lightning
might
be
the
hints
that
the
ghost
attacks
only
on
rainy
nights.
However,
we
yet
don't
know
who
the
male
lead
is.
Maybe
there
is
no
male
lead
in
this
film
because
there
is
a
buzz
that
the
film
is
female-centric.
Shah
has
also
roped
in
foreign
actress
for
the
film.
The
hot
phirang
model
in
white
bikini
is
a
very
talented
actress
who
will
provide
sexual
relief
in
the
film.
Besides,
it
seems
that
Kanti
Shah
has
also
used
lots
of
special
effects
in
the
film
(the
streams
of
blood
flowing
from
the
left
female's
mouth
were
digitally
created).
On
the
whole,
from
the
artistic
poster,
it
seems
like
Kanti
Shah's
Marna
Jaruri
Hai
will
be
giving
all
the
big
releases
of
this
season
a
run
for
their
money.
