A brave, stylish and intelligent attempt at storytelling. Brave because attempts like these have failed earlier and bringing this style back with such a huge cast was definitely like playing a big gamble. It is stylish, just as every other Sanjay Gupta product is. Technicalities are deftly handled. It is intelligent because it picked its cue from films that were attempted in this genre but failed. Darna Mana Hai and Darna Zaroori Hai too had different stories but they all shared a common supernatural/horror theme. Therefore, by the end of it all the audience got fed up of watching similar looking ghost stories. This is where Dus Kahaniyan is different from them. Each story in the film is unrelated and has a different theme. With 6 different directors at the helm, each story comes out with a different flavor. The fact that each story has a twist only adds to the experience of watching this collection of short films. Another good thing about the film is that the better-done stories outnumber the not so good ones so you don’t feel cheated by the end of it. An able ensemble cast ensures that you get what you invest in the film – your time and money! Now since this is a collection of films, let me pick each one and write something about them. 'Matrimony' Cast: Mandira Bedi, Arbaaz Khan and Sudhanshu Pandey Director: Sanjay Gupta A story well told with a sudden twist in the tale revealed in the closing minute of the film. Thumbs up for this one. 'High On The Highway' Cast: Jimmy Sheirgill and Masumeh Director: Hansal Mehta It went over the top of my head. Hansal seemed to be paying a tribute to Quentin Tarantino by trying to weave incidents from one day with those of the present. But where was the story Mr. Mehta? I did not like it at all. A big thumbs down. 'Pooranmashi' Cast: Amrita Singh, Minisha Lamba, Parmeet Sethi and Vishwajeet Pradhan. Director: Meghna Gulzar I carried this story out of the theatre too. Very well written and executed. It explores how messy things can become if you stray that one bit from your bounds. The best story according to me. Double thumbs up for this one. 'Strangers In The Night' Cast: Neha Dhupia and Mahesh Manjrekar. Director: Sanjay Gupta The storyteller again recreates the magic here. Gives a new dimension to what was easily mistaken for lust when the story started to unfold. Extra ordinary circumstances but good nonetheless. Thumbs up! 'Zahir' Cast: Manoj Bajpai and Dia Mirza. Director: Sanjay Gupta The twist looked a bit kiddish. It made me laugh even though that was not intended in the story. I did not like it all that much but my friends did. No thumbs for this one. I’ll leave it to your judgment. 'Gubbare' Cast: Nana Patekar, Anita and Rohit Roy. Director: Sanjay Gupta A story whose twists and turns you can easily foretell but it does not bore you. That again reaffirms Sanjay Gupta’s finesse as a storyteller. Rohit Roy gets a special appearance in a 10 minute film. It is Nana Patekar all the way in this one. Thumbs up for the emotional quotient. 'Love Dale' Cast: Anupam Kher, Anooradha Singh, Aftab Shivdasani and Neha Uberoi. Director: Jasmeet Dhondi Supernatural twist but watchable. Since I am so used to watching love stories taking shape in a good 3 hours after all that song and dance that this 10 minute love story looked incomplete to me ;). Okayish. No thumbs for this one. 'Sex On The Beach' Cast: Dino Morea and Tareena Patel. Director: Apoorva Lakhia Ramsay or shall I say Ramu effect coming into play. This again has supernatural element in it. It shows you how your pleasant fantasies can sometimes go wrong if they come real. Nothing great about this one. Thumbs down! 'Rice Plate' Cast: Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah. Director: Rohit Roy Debutante director Rohit Roy handles the theme deftly. Shabana Azmi is good. You don’t get much of Naseeruddin Shah in this one which made me feel a bit let down. A thematic story that scores. Thumbs up for this one. 'Rise & Fall' Cast: Sanjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty. Directors: Hansal Mehta and Sanjay Gupta The last story should have been a stunner. The audience should have left the theatre thinking about it. But nothing of the sort happens. With Sanjay Dutt and Suniel Shetty at the helm, you sure expect some fire crackers but there were none. A thumbs down for this story. Overall, not such a bad experience. You sure would like a couple of stories. I was wondering whether Anurag Kashyap should edit his No Smoking to fit in this 10 minute slot. His psycho shocker film would have been something to watch out for had it been a short one and what’s more no one would have panned him so severely for a 10 minute long act. Now, why did I get into pulling poor Anurag Kashyap down here. Watch Dus Kahaniyan folks! It gets over in 2 hours flat.

Fantastic and Superb... A unique and novel movie experience.... It will be extremely unfair if people compare this movie with Darna Mana Hai and Darna Zaroori Hai... This is totally an extraordinary movie experience. Out of the 10 stories 6 of them are outstanding - Rice Plate, Puranmashi, Zahir, Matrimony, Strangers in Night and Gubbare. The most visually appealing in terms of action sequences is Rise and Fall. It is extremely refreshing to see Shabana and Amrita Singh. More importantly the new Directors like Rohit Roy and Hansal Mehta have done a very good job.

Dus Kahaniyan - Six Director's 10 short stories in one film is the novel part which can be compared…
Dus Kahaniyan - Six Director's 10 short stories in one film is the novel part which can be compared with "Darna Mana Hai" kind of movies. The only difference is that here "Its like seeing 10 short films at one go" as they are not related with each other and no linking scenes. Here I will rate each story for you and that will give you the whole idea of the movie : . The Best of 10 Stories 1. Puranmaasi (Amrita Singh, Minisha Lamba and Parmeet Sethi) If this short story does not inspire our film-makers to look into our own literature in Hindi, Urdu & Punjabi for new subjects then no one can inspire us really. Directed by Meghna Gulzar its based on the short story of Kartar Singh Duggal. The plot is so powerful and shockingly impactful that you will surprise why it was not adopted for a complete movie. The most impressive of the 10 and the unarguably the best part of the movie. You will only remember this at the back of the mind after watching all the 10. Other Good Stories 2. Strangers in the night (Neha Dhupia, Mahesh Manjrekar) (Good use of surprise element, human touch and sensuality) 3. Zahir (Manoj Bajpai, Dia Mirza) (You find it funny as you get to know the real thing though its quite serious) 4. Rice Plate (Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah) Rohit Roy makes his directorial debut but chooses an inspired theme. Though he does a fine job but the similarities with the short film "The Lunch Date" (1989) are really questionable. Check out : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100076/plotsummary . Below Average Stories 5. Matrimony (Mandira Bedi, Arbaz Khan and Sudhanshu Pandey) (On Out of marriage Relations told many times) 6. High On The Highway (Jimmy Shergill, Masumeh) (About a drug addict couple..Not impressive) 7. Love Dale (Anupam Kher, Aftab Shivdasani and Neha Oberoi) (Follows the “Darna Mana Hai†tradition with Ghosts) 8. Sex on the Beach (Dino Morea and Tareena Patel) (This too follows the “Darna Mana Hai†Ghost thing) 9. Gubbare (Anita Hasnandani, Nana Patekar and Rohit Roy) (Again on “Darna Mana Hai†lines) 10. Rise and Fall (Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty) (Gang Fights and Stunts……Just Passable) . So with only 4 out of 10 watchable stories, it gives only average rating to the movie. . Rating : 2.5 Stars (Dont miss "Puranmaasi", the story is the pride of our rich literature)
