Good movie but grossly overrated
Absolutely Fantastic
A Masterpiece!
The movie as an idea and perhaps on paper was good for a Bollywood film for a change. but the execution was terrible and made the film into a cheesy flick. Here are some points that could make this film way better if were done: 1- The woman meets a ghost for black magic??? It would have been way better if this was another human expert in the black magic or at least the director did not reveal immediately that the man was a ghost. It took way a lot from the suspense.2- What are the stupid songs doing in this kind of film? OK you want to add songs why not creepy slow songs to build up the movie rather than make it more cheesy than it is with BAD songs just to show the skin of the girls. 3- A man's head is chopped in the graveyard and immediately we see a song!! How can a director call himself a decent one and does not understand the basics of directing and suspense building?4- The film is written all over it "CHEESY". It is worse than D or Z grade Hollywoood flicks. They are showing the Ghost or the entity as Freddy Krueger from The Nightmare on Elm Street which takes all the frights. A good director would have showed less. In horror movies always the less you show the more creepy a movie will be. A good example I would say something like Rosemary's Baby. I feel that entity or ghost should have been shown the way the evil force was shown in The Exorcism of Emily Rose where the evil appeared to Laura Lenny's character with a cape without showing anything else or its face. That itself was very terrifying. 5- The maid was killed by the entity and Emran saw it too. Black magic effects are supposed to be seen by the one who has its spell casted on and not by everybody!! Why Bollywood directors love to mix everything all together? can you have a milkshake, ornage juice and a cola mixed together for a drink. I really don't understand6- Performance wise, even the best Hollywood films rarely you see a good perofrmance in that genre so nothing expected. I felt the main character Bipasha Basu was missing from the film!! Yea didn't feel any significance in her presence, the director could not use her. Emran Hashmi was just a puppet, again boring and the girl who played Sanjana was extremely irritating to watch. Both Bipasha and Emran have better roles in other movies.Unforutunately Raaz 3 is a movie deserved to fail but succeeded at the box office in 2012 along with other crappy films like Barfi and Kahaani and is yet another proof that Bollywood if at least not going backward is not moving at all.So far almost all the Bollywood films I have watched for 2012 can be termed the least as "BAD" with the only exception being Sridevi's English Vinglish.
Why would you want to see Raaz-3? Well, here are the reasons— 1.If you are a horror fan then it may give you quite a good deal of enjoyment.Though the movie is not that much scary, but still worth watching.2. There are some steamy hot scenes in the movie. Emraan Hashmi did some hot romantic scenes with both Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta. Specially the scenes between Hashmi & Bipasha (both romantic & conflict) were very enjoyable.3. Emraan did a decent job while Bipasha just crossed her previous performances with this negative role; Esha did okay job for her second film; overall all the actors did a decent acting job.4. However, there are some drawbacks in the movie—like cliché dialogues, predictable finishing and moral conflict of Hashmi which has become a common phenomenon at his films nowadays. Moreover, the film gets a bit slow after the second half. The audience should not try to find much logic in this film.It's a time pass movie; one can enjoy Raaz 3 if he just wants to chill for some time.
For Emraan lovers, there's plenty of what he does the best, this time he does it with two opposite actors in one single movie. However these acts are the only isolated events where Emraan maintains his sheen. Rest of the movie, he doesn't seem to put an effort to do more than being bossed around by two strong characters. Bipasha carries on with her typically conventional approach of acting, with plenty of leg room in her dresses wherever possible. Esha, being a new comer, has a few places where she seems to have been allowed to be herself and those are the only moments where she delivers. She has put extra conscious effort on shouting and cribbing scenes. Sorry but this is sales biz lady! if it doesn't show, its not called effort!The viewer is assured that this is a horror movie by way of iconic sadistic horror vocals in feminine voice and in dark scenes it is the morphed sound of toads. And there are some scenes where you confuse Atma (Spirits) with Aliens, particularly where the Pret Atma (unholy spirit) enters the hospital room door in the form of a thick centipede and suddenly starts piling up upon itself into a human form. Another instance where the Atma sends virus into Sanjana's body through a centipede which crawls into her ear. Din't spirits use to enter human body just like that? since when did they start using transport? Thats unconventional horror!The sets are sprawling rich. Music is bearable and slightly hummable too. While entering the hall, take tub full of pop-corns for munching in free time and do order a mid-movie snack.
Hopeless movie..... if you like this movie, then you got a bad taste !!!! Raaz 2 was way better and scary... Of course, you cant watch it with your kids... But then you will find some scenes amusing especially when they try to scare you ... Nice acting by Bipasha.... However Emran and Esha were OK... Not a great story though.....and there is no Raaz in the story !!!!! Better to watch it on DVD, if there is nothing else to watch.... Also don't waste your money on 3D glasses, as there isn't much exciting to watch it on 3D.. Don't keep high expectation before watching it..... Well... If you are someone who like to watch horror movie, then this definitely is not your cup of tea... Didn't expect this from Vikram !!! :((
