Pick anything out of Ramgopal Verma Part I and you will find a gem mostly, as was Raat, which to my mind is the best ever ghost movie Bollywood has produced. Revathi is the star of the show, stupendous acting, and the eeriness felt throughout is unmatched in even the directors's later movies. 8/10
'Raat' reeks atmosphere and is intense at several places. Revathi is brilliant and truly convincing in her efforts. This is one of the best horror movies and the milestone of Indian Cinema.
Overall, this film will make you shiver for sure, the performances are very memorable.
Normally, Indian films are anything but subtle. The horror films are even more crude, so it is a treat to watch something as well-made as this. Varma's direction is tight and stylistic, and the movie maintains suspense throughout this tale of the supernatural. Revathi's acting is especially fine. Recommended.
This is one of the best horror movies and the milestone of Indian Cinema. Ram Gopal Verma is really a genius. Wonderful cast with wonderful acting. Om Puri is a well reputed theater artist of Indian Cinema. RAAT is the story of a family that moves into a haunted house, and the eventual possession of their daughter Minnie.
At the releasing time of RAAT people were fed up with Ramsay brothers types movies which contains several sex scenes, some dirty faces and some Haunted Hawelis but this movie gave audience new experience.
You will not see any high class special effects in this movie but the sound effect and acting are out of the world. Hats off to Ramu. I will give 10/10 to this. A must watch.

I remember seeing this the first time, when I was just seven years old and for some weeks, I couldn't sleep with the lights off. 'Raat' is undoubtedly one of the very rare genuine horror films of its time that can never be forgotten, because of quite a few reasons and a primary reason being it's impeccable cast performance, specially Revathi who gives a brilliant and effortless performance as the protagonist of the story. A fabulous performance from Om Puri as well, who breathes even more life into the story without a doubt. this is a film that always reminds us of of Ram Gopal Varma as one of the very few good directors of all time.
Overall, this film will make you shiver for sure, It is not a great film, but the performances are very memorable.

- TriviaThe cat ventures behind the Mini's father's car rear wheel and is killed accidentally while the car is reversed. The cat is buried in the backyard without the knowledge of Bunty. Bunty finds another cat which bears an uncanny resemblance to the dead cat. The scenario where dead cat came back alive inspired from Pet Sematary which came in 1991. At last scene you can see Bunty holding the cat in his room and the movie ending with spooky sounds.
- GoofsWhen Manisha calls Dipak to wish him on his birthday, it is clearly visible that after he receives the call the cable is no more connected to the phone. At that point the call should be immediately disconnected but Dipak still manages to finish his conversation with Manisha.
