'Raaz – The Myster Continues' is not a sequel to Raaz (2002 - starring Bipasha Basu). Raaz's story and
screenplay lingers within the conventional boundaries of most horror films. Though Young director Mohit Suri
has an impressive track record with Vishesh Films (Zeher, Kalyug, Woh Lamhe, Awarapan), Horror is clearly a
genre that escapes Mohit's comfort zone. The execution lacks the edge-of-your-seat drive you look for in a
thriller.
Story:
A brooding artist Prithvi (Emraan), experiences mysterious and distressing visions about Nandita (Kangana), a
woman he has never met, while he paints on canvas. Intrigued by these visions, Prithvi tracks her down and
warns her that these are not merely paintings of her, but accidents that are waiting to happen! At first, Nandita
refuses to believe him and dismisses him as an eccentric stalker. However, the striking resemblance between
Prithvi's paintings and the near - death incidents in her life is hard to ignore. Haunted by a series of deathly and
paranormal experiences, her reason crumbles in the face of fear.
Now, one of Prithvi's paintings has revealed her as dead! The only way she can change her fate, is to unravel
this mystery with his help, at the risk of alienating herself from her boyfriend, Yash, who is a rational and logical
man. But he refuses to believe in Prithvi's premonitions. Will Nandita risk her love and her life to unravel this
mystery? What happens next...forms the crux of the movie.
Music:
Music by Raju Singh and Toshi is the highlight of the movie. All the numbers are catchy and melodious. Lyrics
are good. Songs 'Bandaa Re', 'Maahi' and 'Soniyo' are the pick of the lot.
Performance:
Raaz belongs to Kangana Ranaut, She gave brilliant performance, her expressions, her body language were
perfect and her skin show too. Emraan Hashmi has given a more mature performance compared to his other
movies, he was perfect. Adhyayan Suman (Shekar Suman's son) is decent, he needs to work a bit on his
expressions and dialogue delivery. The rest supporting cast were apt.
Verdict:
Mohit Suri's Raaz does live up to expectations. If you like movies that belong to horror genre, then Raaz is for
you. If you want to get scared, feel the thrill and enjoy the suspense, Don't miss Raaz. 'Raaz – The Mystery
Continues' is rated as average. |  |
