Even if that means risking love, manipulating her director boyfriend, Aditya (Emraan Hashmi) and losing Godly faith. In denial of her waning career, the self-obsessed and fiercely ambitious Shanaya will do anything to cling to the last fringes of her career. Shanaya (Bipasha Basu) is a top star who is gradually falling off the dizzying heights of stardom, while hot new aspirant Sanjana (Esha Gupta) is sweeping away movies, awards and the coveted top spot. Sometimes it walks away silently into the dark night, but mostly it screams like multiple orgasms in the vanity van. Easily seduced by the next hot number on the bloc. That it’s nobody’s ‘keep’ – but everybody’s ‘mistress’. Movie Review: There’s only one raaz about stardom. But mostly you find yourself fidgeting and glancing at your watch willing the torture would end – not for Sanjana, for yourself.Story: Shanaya is a fading superstar who resorts to black magic to salvage her career, and raze rising star Sanjana’s chances at stardom. As for the intentional scares – you can see them coming minutes before, which means that you are prepared and recover quickly. She works harder in the cockroach attack scene but that’s based mainly on lung power. You can almost hear Esha Gupta counting her steps as she tries hard to dance. The songs and dances are largely superfluous. The art direction for the underworld is shoddy, as are the special effects, but the costumes are rather good. You do believe that she is menacing and wicked, though it is eventually confusing as to why she is behaving like a woman possessed, running through corridors in elegant designer heels even as she is being bludgeoned! So most of the burden to convince rests on Basu’s fit shoulders – and she does. Fortunately the chemistry between Hashmi and Gupta works. Gupta is handed over a complex role that she does not have the range or experience to deliver on. Hashmi is relatively measured but also comes across as rather disinterested. It does not help that the acting is also at different levels. The dialogue is often so ridiculous that proceedings become involuntarily funny like when Shanaya challenges Aditya saying, “If you love me you can be stupid for me”, or sample this: “Bachcha aur kutta pyaar ka bhooka hota hai (a child and a dog are hungry for love).”īhatt also gets the rhythm of the suspense-building wrong, going all too rapidly from grotesque (decapitation) to a kiss and song scene. Within this genre, Raaz 3 has an interesting set up, but like most Hindi films it takes too long to tell it and relies on too many clichés, eg invoking the spirits in a graveyard the evil woman wearing black, the victim wearing white scary clowns etc.
#RAAZ 3 D FREE#
The only way to save Sanjana is to free her from the evil spirit that is killing her. A trapped Aditya is torn between his faith, conscience, obligation to Shanaya and attraction to the vulnerable and pure Sanjana. Shanaya manipulates her boyfriend, film director Aditya (Emraan Hashmi) into becoming an accessory to Sanjana’s slow, painful and frightening destruction. Obsessed with destroying Sanjana, who also happens to be her half sister, Shanaya invokes a new god – a dark, evil, amorphous being that practices black magic. A devout Hindu, she loses faith in her god when the best actress award goes to her competitor Sanjana (Esha Gupta). Shanaya (Bipasha Basu) is an ambitious actress, addicted to fame and celebrity. Much like his Dangerous Ishhq, Raaz 3 is also a waste of 3D technology and unnecessarily demands the use of uncomfortable glasses. Vikram Bhatt seems rather inspired by Ram Gopal Varma as he crafts yet another horror/supernatural thriller. Raaz 3 (3D): But mostly you find yourself fidgeting and glancing at your watch willing the torture would end – not for Sanjana, for yourself.
