    A delightfully bizzare story
    The movie basically consists of a couple of teens telling each other stories with a story running in the background. I have heard people say the stories where weird,unbelievable and unrealistic. But that is exactly what they were supposed to be! I liked each of them except the last story with Aftaab Shivdasani (he sucks!)!

    If you like to read bizzare and dark short stories , you will enjoy the movie.

    For once, stars are just characters, and not the USP of the movie.
