What's
common
between
films
like
Darna
Mana
Hai,
Darna
Zaroori
Hai
and
Salaam-E-Ishq?
Apart
from
the
fact
that
each
of
these
films
had
multiple
stories
in
the
narrative
(six
each)
with
none
of
them
directly
connected
with
each
other,
the
other
common
factor
was
each
of
them
was
a
box
office
failure.
Though
Honeymoon
Travels
Pvt.
Ltd.
and
Life
In
A...
Metro
also
had
multiple
stories,
they
all
were
either
happening
in
parallel
or
were
connected
to
each
other
by
some
way.
Also,
both
these
films
were
successful
at
the
box
office.
Now
Dus
Kahaniyaan
is
all
set
to
break
the
jinx
of
multiple
stories
told
in
an
episodic
format.
A
Sanjay
Dutt
/
Sanjay
Gupta
presentation
with
as
many
as
six
directors
in
charge
of
10
different
stories,
the
film
has
been
noticed
by
one
and
all
in
a
quick
time
span
with
intelligent
promotion
helping
the
buzz
grow
for
it.
The
music
has
been
a
success
while
the
hype
is
building
up
quite
well
too
due
to
more
than
a
couple
of
dozen
mainstream
actors
being
a
part
of
the
project.
Releasing
on
7th
December
as
a
sole
major
release,
Dus
Kahaniyaan
promises
to
pave
way
for
many
more
episodic
films
to
arrive
in
near
future.

ten
