Na Raaz!!!! (Movie Review - Raaz - The Mystery contnues!!)

Movie - Raaz - The Mystery Continues!! (RTMC)

Dir - Mohit Suri

Cast - Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut, Adhyanan Suman, Jackie Shroff

Preview - Yet another movie from Mukesh Bhatt production in the horror genre, RTMC is the second part of the series 'Raaz' which had Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu in the first part. The movie was already hyped because of the melodious songs and scary promos. Kangana's performance was considered to be the highlight of the film.

About the movie - A painter named Prithvi (Emraan Hashmi) has gory visions of Nandita (Kangana Ranaut) lying in the pool of blood which he ultimately converts it into painting. Prithvi has not even met her once. But once he comes to know about her existence, he tries to caution her by showing the painting. Nandita doesn't believe him first. but once she starts feeling the spirit, she along with Prithvi embark on the journey to unlock the mystery.

Strengths -

• Thrilling first half.
• Music is smooth on ears. My favourite track is "Soniyo"
• Special effects in the film are at par with Hollywood except for the pre-climax scene (the bull fight scene).
• Performances are excellent especially by Kangana and Emraan.

Weaknesses -

• First and foremost, one fails to understand why is the spirit behind Nandita and the mystery continues even after you leave the cinema hall.
• The climax is very ordinary and filmy.
• Last but not the least - the movie does not scare you at all. Apart from then normal background sound effects, there is nothing much that elevates your heart beat. After watching Hollywood Horror flicks like the 'Grudge' series and the 'Exorcist' series, the movie does not have much impact.

Overall verdict - I went in the auditorium with loads of expectations and with an approach to disclose all the raaz's but I am came out disappointed and NaRaaz!!!!

Rating - 2/5
