Karan Johar Could Not Resist a Wedding, Even In ‘Ghost Stories’

Karan Johar’s idea of scary is, alas, only scary to him.

I remember rather distinctly, I was all of five, when I watched a Karan Johar movie for the first time. “Oh, wow!” I thought to myself. And when I recently saw his short film for Netflix’s Ghost Stories, the same words escaped my mouth, yet again. Only back then I was amazed, and this time, I was amused. And sadly, underwhelmed.

Karan Johar’s attempt at spooky is an ‘A for effort’ at best. A ‘ghost story’ is probably as off-brand he’s ever gone and well, it shows. But, if anybody could make a horror movie look glamorous, with the whole big fat Indian wedding where the bride is styled in a stunning Manish Malhotra lehenga, it’s gotta be THIS man.
