Raaz 3: The Third Dimension

The Third Intallment in the Raaz Series, 'Raaz 3' is a Spooky & Entertaining Film, that is nicely written, fabulously directed & efficiently acted. Its surely among the better films of 2012!

'Raaz 3' tells the story of a film director, who must save his love from the black magic of a wicked woman who has become blind in love, lust and passion.

'Raaz 3' is about ambition, success, failure, love, hate & black magic. Maverick Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt directs this spooky fare fabulously. He handles the film sharply from start to end. Shagufta Rafique's Screenplay is a great mix of horror & entertainment. Cinematography by Pravin Bhatt is excellent. Editing is fair. Music by Jeet Ganguly, Mithoon & Rashid is decent.

Performance-Wise: Bipasha Basu is deliciously despicable & she's terrific. She steals every scene she's in & is the soul of the film. Emraan Hashmi gives a spirited performance, as always. Esha Gupta doesn't disappoint. Manish Chowdhary & Mohan Kapoor are perfect in supporting roles.

On the whole, 'Raaz 3' works big time. Recommended!

7/10 I liked the movie, The story is somewhat like an actress who is losing her fame now wants to take revenge with a new shining actress using black magic. Bipasha was brilliant, Emraan was good too but over shadowed by Bipss and Esha Gupta was OK OK. Story was good, Though the amount of horror scenes were a little less than i expected, but still those scenes that the movie has were really good.... Especially the scene where esha is surrounded by cockroaches, and a scene where her maid kills her self, these all scenes are really good... Vikram Bhatt has mastered this genre... The movie is worth a watch and better for 3D.

Plot of the movie is quite familiar and very much predictable(as per shown in promos)...

Plot :A superstar (Bipasha)is at the verge of her downfall, she wants to seek revenge on the New rising star (Esha). She chooses the path of evil(Black magic). A director(Emraan) who is under her debt and is in "Love" with her helps in doing this.

Note: Trust me, what follows next is very much predictable and like every other movie of this kind. So we see the movie only to know how it is Executed!!!

I Liked : Few shots(2/3) in first half which were quite scary, like suddenly some weird face appears on screen. Bips-Imran scene where she convince him to help her(Far better than Jism2).Bipasha Basu's acting was quite convincing and enjoyable(Compared to other actors), but cannot be even compared with RAAZ.

I "Laughed" and "Cried" at Times Because of : Plot holes. There were many places where whatever was going on Looked childish and ridiculous. The Other world "Aatmaon ki dunia" is not at all convincing, we don't get to know what this world exactly is...When Bips decides to kill Esha we get to hear a dialog as dump as,"Satana/Tadpana to SHAITAN ke hathon me hai par maut BHAGWAN ke hathon me" (Then how come that Atma was able to kill Maid and Priest). Bipasha has to "****" that Atma to provide him strength to kill Esha!!! It was really very Ridiculous and towards end Bipasha is shown breaking the door with a single kick, and kills the doctor(She would have killed Esha instead anyways she became a murderer!!! LOL )... Even the dialogs are damn dumb(You can really enjoy passing comments on them if watch this one with group). At places Emraan's character don't react at all... At one place we see, a person next to Esha is cut into Head and body... She screams and a ZERO expression Emran says "Calm down!!! lets go from here." as if its regular for him to see all this.

There are many more places where we think 'What the crap is going on!!!'.Some dialogs are really weired and ridiculous. End is not very convincing. Overall unlike RAAZ this movie has nothing to live up to the name "RAAZ3" and "Bhatt camp" movie.

This is movie is a dumb effort to continue the RAAZ legacy.

one of the most stupid movies of all times.

The story is okay. Direction is cheap. Cast has acted dumb - all three of them. The extras are funny!

The music is bad and so is the background music.

If you watch the movie you will understand what I am talking about. I will not recommend this movie at all.

I also want Vikram Bhatt to stop making horror movies for the sake of making one.

If u really want to watch RAAZ, watch RAAZ 1.

Raaj 3 has nothing to offer to viewers who are looking for some descent horror stuff. The movie is similar to any spooky Hindi TV serial being aired now days with the exception of 2 love making scenes in the movie.

The movie fails primarily because the basic root on which the movie is based i.e Black Magic is not at all exploited in the movie and the viewers are left wondering as usage of a potion of water being depicted in the movie is black magic all about..The Ramsay's have shown the usage of black magic much better in their movies. Raaj 3 does not scare you a bit and gives you a feel of a TV serial. Also,this movie is a let down compared to bhatt's earlier ventures 1920, Shaapit or Haunted.

If we talk about acting Bipasha is the only saving grace, Imran is pathetic, Esha looks good, forget about acting.

Storyline is poor music is forgettable which usually is high point of bhatt movies. So guys watch at your own risk!
