Raaz: The Mystery Continues... (2009)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very well executed

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Raaz was a runaway hit with no big stars, 2 new faces Dino(Pyaar mein kabhi kabhi behind him) and Bipasha(Ajnabee behind her) and hit music Raaz TMC yet again follows the similar pattern of Bhatt films, the film does remind us of THE RING and many horror films. The basic flaw is that it remains a question why does the evil spirit trouble Kangana when the main culprit was someone else? The film does have several scary scenes, Emraan's scenes too are spooky and create a superb feeling. But the songs do throw a spanner but yet there are several good scenes, but the pre-climax changes the tracks of the story with the climax being a flawed one though it's well executedDirection by Mohit Suri is good Music is superb, Maahi is the pick of the lot, Banda is superb too, while Soniye and other songs are fabEmraan Hashmi is superb in his role and conveys a lot through his expressions Kangana repeats her by famous act but does it well, even her model act came close to FASHION Adhyanan Suman however teeters between decent to below average, in the climax especially he goes completely OTT Jackie Shroff is decent in a cameo The rest are okay

The cinematography was the best part of this film...The lighting and photography was brilliant! Also, some of the angles had a very frightening and mysterious feel to it. The direction and story was also unique.Yes, this was overall a well made film but it could have been so much more! A few unnecessary scenes slowed the pace down a bit. The director attempted some cliché gags to frighten the audience. Sometimes it gave me the "been there done that" feel. The acting in the film was OK. Emraan in my opinion, was the best. Adhyayan Suman and Kangana Ranaut were OK. One thing I don't understand is, what was the need of the random English dialogues? That made things a bit less believable. The film was also a bit melodramatic...But it was a good movie overall.

Raaz TMC may not be as spine chilling as the original Raaz(2002), but it sure delivers! Kangana Raunat as Nanditha gives out her best performance till date. If she was all about attitude in her previous release 'Fashion'(2008), here she is an emotional, loving and expressive lady. Unlike most of the bollywood lead ladies she does know how to act. Her portrayal of the lady who has to deal with the supernatural was the most defining aspect of the movie.Adhyayan Suman( son of Shekhar Suman) as Yash(Nanditha's lover boy) does well for a person doing his second film only. And the less that is said about Emraan Hashmi, the better. His role of the painter, who can paint the future(an idea lifted straight from Heroes, but presented in a different manner) was pivotal to the plot and was surprisingly less inclined towards the womanizer roles that he usually does. Jackie Sheroff was highly underused and dwelling into his character will reveal the plot, so less said , the better.Just like the previous edition, the songs of Raaz 2 are good n hummable. The storyline also offers some respite, from the clichéd family dramas n love stories. Mohit Suri, the director has done a commendable job, but he has left a few loose ends as well, like for eg: What exactly is the role of the supernatural in painter's ability to paint the future??.In a nutshell, I would say this is one movie that you can enjoy, if u in a mood for some Kangana Raunat special with a horror angle to it!

I was looking forward to this one and more as I enjoyed the previous, which like this one, was a Mahesh Bhatt film. While this one is directed by Mohit Suri, the previous one was directed by Vikram Bhatt and starred Bipasha Basu, Dino Morea and Ashutosh Rana.A successful model, who is married to a man who makes reality programmes, is stalked by an artist and soon things start happening.Emran Hashmi's acting was perhaps at its best in this and Adhyayan Suman, son of TV presenter and actor, Shekhar Suman, is also good. Jackie Shroff, who makes an special appearance, is also good as his character pushes the story. But I felt that Kangna Ranaut could have improved on her character a bit more as I found her a bit unconvincing in some scenes but in some she was good - but she needed to be consistent as her male colleagues.The first half was good but the second half could have improvised but nevertheless it is still a good film, one that is worth watching but not with children.
