Length: 2.10 hours approximately
RAAZ 3, this week’s new outing, a horror, is film that
definitely carries some thrilling sequences and also the sound effects work
wheel within wheel. And what else, RAAZ 3 surrenders itself to only horror
scenes without even giving half importance to the script which started on an
interesting note! Thus resulting in some yawn inducing moments as well!
RAAZ 3 is undoubtedly the weakest installment in this series
but its much better than some other sequels which Bhatt camp have served with
likes of MURDER 2 and JISM 2. The film starts with detailing and we are served
with three characters, the three poignant roles of this flick, who are well
known for their work in film industry. It wouldn’t have been an issue even if
the film wouldn’t have had a single horror sequences for first 45-50 minutes!
Really! The issue is they compromise a challenging script just to give goose
bumps to the viewers. Frankly, some horror sequences are noteworthy but some
falls flat on face.
Also the culmination is tame and damn predictable. The
proceedings only get worsened post-intermission, though there is one excellent
horror scene here as well. That scene alone distracts you from several lapses
that RAAZ 3 suffers from.
The music is poor. Apart from “Deewana kar” there’s not a
single song which you can take away with you. The background score isn’t loud
and used very seldom which enhances the value. Superb! Vikram Bhatt’s direction
is decent which reflects in some of the scenes.
Emraan Hashmi invests earnestness in his role which get
sidelined at some point of time. Bipasha Basu also registers a good
performance. Esha Gupta doesn’t allows her acting instincts to flow out and her
character turns out to be a caricature. This also is a blame on the part of
writers who failed to make anything out of this poignant character.
RAAZ 3 is compelling horror, but only in spurts. Watch it on
a day when you have nothing better to do. Strictly average fare!
Rating- 2/5 (Average)
