Raaz-The Mystery Continues


Mahesh Bhatt produced yet another horror flick Raaz -The Mystery Continues. This movie released on Jan 23rd 2009. This time it was directed by Mohit Suri and written by Shagufta Rafique. The first Raaz was directed by Vikram Bhatt. There are many comparisons between Raaz and Raaz: TMC.



The end of the movie is similar to many other horror movies. The character Prithvi played by Emraan Hashmi was similar to a character in Final destination.

The story revolves around a spiritual power which attacks various people like a preist , a foreigner, a police man and an innocent girl Nanditha (Kangana Ranaut).

Prithvi (Emraan Hashmi) an artist has premonitions about a girl whom he has never seen . She is actually Nanditha. Once they both meet and he warns her that she is in danger. She ignores his words. But finally realises he was telling the truth after she is attacked. She travels with the Prithvi to unravel the mystery by leaving behind her boyfriend Yash (Adhyayan Suman) to solve her problem.




They find out that the remaining people attacked by the same spirit were dead. The spirit actually belongs to Veer Prataap Singh (Jackie Shroff) who is Prithvi's father, who is killed by the three people who are killed. The reason why it is attacking Nandhitha is the remaining story.

Though the plot is not uncommon, the way the director has shot the movie has made it a success. The performance by the cast was good. Kangana Ranaut looked attractive and her character was also strong.
