The movie as an idea and perhaps on paper was good for a Bollywood film for a change. but the execution was terrible and made the film into a cheesy flick. Here are some points that could make this film way better if were done: 1- The woman meets a ghost for black magic??? It would have been way better if this was another human expert in the black magic or at least the director did not reveal immediately that the man was a ghost. It took way a lot from the suspense.
2- What are the stupid songs doing in this kind of film? OK you want to add songs why not creepy slow songs to build up the movie rather than make it more cheesy than it is with BAD songs just to show the skin of the girls.
3- A man's head is chopped in the graveyard and immediately we see a song!! How can a director call himself a decent one and does not understand the basics of directing and suspense building?
4- The film is written all over it "CHEESY". It is worse than D or Z grade Hollywoood flicks. They are showing the Ghost or the entity as Freddy Krueger from The Nightmare on Elm Street which takes all the frights. A good director would have showed less. In horror movies always the less you show the more creepy a movie will be. A good example I would say something like Rosemary's Baby. I feel that entity or ghost should have been shown the way the evil force was shown in The Exorcism of Emily Rose where the evil appeared to Laura Lenny's character with a cape without showing anything else or its face. That itself was very terrifying.
5- The maid was killed by the entity and Emran saw it too. Black magic effects are supposed to be seen by the one who has its spell casted on and not by everybody!! Why Bollywood directors love to mix everything all together? can you have a milkshake, ornage juice and a cola mixed together for a drink. I really don't understand
6- Performance wise, even the best Hollywood films rarely you see a good perofrmance in that genre so nothing expected. I felt the main character Bipasha Basu was missing from the film!! Yea didn't feel any significance in her presence, the director could not use her. Emran Hashmi was just a puppet, again boring and the girl who played Sanjana was extremely irritating to watch. Both Bipasha and Emran have better roles in other movies.
Unforutunately Raaz 3 is a movie deserved to fail but succeeded at the box office in 2012 along with other crappy films like Barfi and Kahaani and is yet another proof that Bollywood if at least not going backward is not moving at all.
So far almost all the Bollywood films I have watched for 2012 can be termed the least as "BAD" with the only exception being Sridevi's English Vinglish.
