6 horrifying stories, fear as never seen before that sums up Ram Gopal Varma's this venture, 'Darna Zaroori Hai, which is supposed to be a sequel to his earlier 'Darna Mana Hai'.
It is the first Hindi film too ever to be directed by 6 directors. If ‘Darna Mana Hai’ was big, the supposed sequel ‘Darna Zaroori Hai’ is colossal. Bigger stars and multiple directors. Here again the movie has 6 separate horrifying stories that end up to a common climax. Because of directed by different directors, each story is divergently different from the other in terms of the theme and treatment.

Aditya, an automobile engineer in a car company, is passionate about cars. Not only is he an engineer, but also a test driver for the company. A post like that can explain how well he could drive. Aditya is engaged to Sonia, a fashion designer about to make her mark in the field. As individuals, Aditya and Sonia were not on the same wavelength. Sonia is a 21st century woman for whom career came first and she believed in changes. And as much as Aditya tried to overlook those facts, they kept coming in the way.

Though the marriage date is fixed, Aditya had to leave for Canada to learn about the technique of a new car model, to be launched in India while Sonia had to leave for Paris for a fashion show. Aditya arrives in Canada where his sister Simran is living. He meets the family but cannot live with them as the company has given him an apartment close to the workshop. But he makes it a point to meet the family on weekends. In between work, co-incidence or destiny makes him bump into Jia more than once. Jia, daughter of business tycoon Yashwardhan Birla, has come to Canada all alone to shop for her wedding with the business giant, Karan Raichand. Jia is a simple girl with simple needs. She had got everything she could ask for in her childhood, but never time from her ever so busy father. And now the man her father had chosen for her hardly had any time to spend with her too. And that is when she found a friend in Aditya. Aditya and Jia manage to spend time with each other and as time passes, the friendship between them grows. Being an amazing driver, Aditya gets a chance from his company to participate in a car rally. And somehow he persuades Jia to participate with him, and wins it too. On returning from the destination of the rally, their car gets stuck in the snow and they have to spend the night together. They share intimate moments, which make them forget that they were engaged, but not to each other. With passing time, they fail to realize when they start falling in love with each other. But a misunderstanding with Aditya and prior commitment with Karan makes Jia go back to India to get married with Karan. Aditya also comes back to India to get married with Sonia and does not attempt to meet Jia ever again. But fate makes them meet for the last time - at Jia's wedding...
