RAAZ 3 MOVIES MOVIE
The fact that I was able to endure the whole movie inside the theater indicates that Raaz 3 is probably tame by the standards of hardcore horror fans.
There are some cool sets as well, from Shanaya’s glamorous apartment to the eerie pond in the slum where she bargains with the evil spirit. Director Vikram Bhatt doesn’t miss an opportunity for a callback (you didn’t think you’d seen the last of that creepy clown in the photo with Sanjana, did you?). She comes across as desperate for love, almost as desperate as Shanaya is for fame.Įven though it’s nearly 140 minutes long, Raaz 3 is paced well enough to never feel slow, and characters are given time to develop. Sanjana, who’s supposed to be the innocent young actress uncorrupted by fame - the foil to Shanaya - aggressively pursues Aditya romantically on the set of their film. It’s only her second role, so I’ll cut her some slack, but she plays Sanjana all wrong early on. There are some great shots of Aditya as doctors and priests speculate as to what’s wrong with Sanjana, his face revealing his internal debate over whether he should admit his role in her suffering.Įsha Gupta is outshone by her costars. Hashmi likewise hits the right notes with Aditya, a guy whose good nature makes him an easy target. Basu plays every scene perfectly, shedding tears as Shanaya reels Aditya in, turning ice-cold the second he consents to help her. Her fear is understandable, and that’s what makes it so dangerous. She strikes the perfect balance of rage, vulnerability, and egomania. Her whole apartment is a tribute to herself, and Shanaya sees a threat to her standing in the industry as a threat to her very existence.īasu is magnificent as Shanaya. A neat shot early in the film captures Shanaya sitting in her luxurious apartment in front of a wall-sized photo of her own face. Raaz 3 is really about the dangers of ego, jealousy, and the pursuit of fame, embodied by Shanaya. When the spell starts to have real world consequences beyond Sanjana’s emotional torment, Aditya realizes that being loyal to Shanaya was a mistake.Īs with most horror films, the scares are the gilding on a traditional morality tale. He casts Sanjana in his new film as a means to poison her with an evil concoction that traps her soul in the spirit world. Shanaya enlists her boyfriend, Aditya (Emraan Hashmi), to help her carry out her evil plans.Īditya, himself a successful director, helps out of love for Shanaya and obligation to her for furthering his movie career. When conventional prayers don’t work, Shanaya turns to black magic to dethrone Sanjana. This time, Basu plays Shanaya, a superstar actress who sees her fame being usurped by a new starlet, Sanjana (Esha Gupta). None of the characters from the previous Raaz (“Secret”) films carry over into this one, though actors Emraan Hashmi and Bipasha Basu are back for a second round.
With that in mind, I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed Raaz 3.ĭespite being the third film in the horror series, Raaz 3 isn’t a true sequel. I startle easily, and I’ve been known to walk out of the theater if a film is too intense. Well plotted, really! The movie is an amalgam of vendetta, jealousy, conflict, drama and sexuality.With showcasing the staunch Indian beliefs about black magic and all again our young generation need logic behind everything which this movie lacks a lot.The so-called famous cockroach scene enacted by Esha did not have a goosebumps effect either.So watch it for fun,not to be scared.~ Sheetal Sharma for ratemovieshere.Note: This review covers the 2D version of the movie, not the 3D version. Emraan this time got to be in good terms with both the actresses(kissing scenes!!)definitely,he has done justice to his role but again Bips has overshadowed him in almost every term due her profound expression, psyche behavior and arrogance. Sanjana(Esha Gupta) is very average.Though looking beautiful in most of the scenes she has to work really hard on her acting and dancing skills. With script being weightless and the horror scenes looking funny or to laugh at,the movie on a whole is not one to be scared of. She caught the character in a very apt and accurate manner. With portraying the struggle of an actor's life to attain fame and success,Bipasha is in her best shoes this time. Bipasha Basu is both hero and a villain in the movie.She left no stones unturned if you look into her acting talents. It definitely has to start with Bipasha Basu,the SHOW STEALER of the movie.
