How far can you go to achieve your desires... Raaz 3 is third in the series of movies with same name from Bhatt camp. Much like the 2nd part, it is not a sequel but represents the same genre – horror. It is always a strange feeling when you enter to watch a horror movie. For a movie of other genres (Romance/ Comedy etc...) the idea is to have fun and relaxation. But a horror movie is worth watching only if it scares, disturbs, chills your spines... So I also paid money to get scared. Let’s find out if it was worth it..
Shanaya (Bipasha Basu) is an established Bollywood actress who has passed her prime. She is being challenged by a new comer Sanjana (Esha Gupta) who seem to taking away her position in the industry. When faith in god shakes, evil strikes door of Shanaya. She takes help of “black magic” to destroy the stardom of Sanjana with the help of Aditya (Emraan Hashmi). Aditya is a successful movie director and is in love with Shanaya. During this while, Aditya gets attracted to the vulnerability and innocence of Sanjana and wants to save her. But is it too late now... what follows is a fight between good and the evil for the struggle of survival. But there can only be one winner!
Bipasha plays the role of ageing star who can go to any extend to protect her status. Interestingly, she finds herself in the similar situation in the real life too. She goes all out for this character. She screams, seduces, sheds clothes to make herself look desperate for success. This is one of her better performances of late. Esha Gupta is shown to be a new actress in the movie and that’s how she acts. In few emotional scenes, she looks terrified and brings out the element of terror. But overall her performance is inconsistent. Emraan is decent in a role, which he seemed to have played before.
Raaz 3 is directed by “Vikram Bhatt” who has been a master of making horror movies. He does bring out the terror especially in the first half. 3D technology makes few scenes look more real and helps to scare the audience more. Special effects are above average for a Hindi movie and are used intelligently. Few of the scenes are being created with imagination and gives a new experience to the audience. The length of movie looks little drag in the second half and also it is notch lower in terms of “horror quotient” than 1st half. Music is below average.
I will rate Vikram Bhatt’s Raaz 3 - 2.5 out of 5. It manages to scare the audience at places but the overall screenplay is a little inconsistent. Watch it if you like watching “horror” movies and are fan of Bipasha Basu.
Rating: 2.5/5
