He agrees(for some reason not explained) and what follows is several typical Bhatt style horror elements like the joker, windows opening on their own, while some are truly scary at times and the 3D is well used as per Indian standards though at times overused. So Bips seduces Emraan Hashmi and gets him do the job for her. As usual black magic is introduced in a funny creepy like Satan(Manish Chaudhary with lots of Kohl) who stays in a bhasti, he chants some thing and he gives Bips some water to give to Esha. I didn't ever know that a director after winning best director will give the award directly to best actress, lol but then it also seems like there are 2 actresses only in Bollywood. The film starts off well, in flashback(some trend of sorts recently) and then we are shown that Bips is awaiting her best actress award, but it goes to Esha Gupta. The film has several moments which thrill while many make you die laughing. It seems like Bhatts want to bring in the old formula of Ghosts, with Black Magic and all other stuff we thought had disappeared from Bollywood after RGV reinvented Ghost films with Bhoot(2003) The film also tries to mix in a lot more, there is plenty of eroticism, plenty of Humanism stories, Jealousy and lot of god vs evil. RAAZ 3 is the third installment of Raaz after the average Raaz TMC(2009) Surprisingly Emraan was an AD for RAAZ and he starred in RAAZ TMC and now comes back in Raaz 3. Bipasha too started doing films for other filmmakers and after some time her career started flagging.

Years passed Vikram Bhatt the once lucky mascot of Bhatts with 3 back to back hits(Ghulam, Kasoor and Raaz) went to make films for others and for Bhatts he gave 2 disasters FOOTPATH(2003) and Inteha(2003) and it was pack up time for Vikram Bhatt, even otherwise his films were flopping, he came back with horror films like 1920, Shaapit, Haunted 3D.etc and got another disaster Dangerous Ishq(2012). Horror films had become extinct in Bollywood, but RAAZ(2002) brought the trend in again and the film was a hit and it also gave a filip to that time 1 film old Bipasha Basu who got tremendous acclaim though her voice was dubbed. Manish Chowdhary & Mohan Kapoor are perfect in supporting roles. Emraan Hashmi gives a spirited performance, as always. She steals every scene she's in & is the soul of the film. Performance-Wise: Bipasha Basu is deliciously despicable & she's terrific. Music by Jeet Ganguly, Mithoon & Rashid is decent. Cinematography by Pravin Bhatt is excellent. Shagufta Rafique's Screenplay is a great mix of horror & entertainment. He handles the film sharply from start to end. Maverick Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt directs this spooky fare fabulously. 'Raaz 3' is about ambition, success, failure, love, hate & black magic. Its surely among the better films of 2012! 'Raaz 3' tells the story of a film director, who must save his love from the black magic of a wicked woman who has become blind in love, lust and passion.

The Third Intallment in the Raaz Series, 'Raaz 3' is a Spooky & Entertaining Film, that is nicely written, fabulously directed & efficiently acted.
