Here he plays an arty movie director from the Roman Polanski-Mahesh Bhatt school of awesomeness who gets seduced by his girl-friend Shayna to pour evil spirit-juice into the water of the heroine of his movie, Sanjana, who is Shayna’s rival.
#RAAZ 3 HORROR SCENES FULL#
Now when you consider that in Raaz 3, Shayna obtains success by taking the help of evil spells of an undead black magician, that elusive terror-within-a-terror, the horror that comes from what is not said but implied, becomes evident.Įmran Hashmi: Affectionately called “I am a man kiss me”, Emran Hashmi displays his full repertoire in Raaz 3- from the pursed lips of intense emotion to the pursed lips when trying to kiss. This was of course before Raaz 3 was released. In that she, of late, has been having a poor time at the box office, overtaken as she has been by younger and keener talents. Some experts point out the similarity in situations between the character Bipasa plays and her own. In Raaz 3, she plays Shayna, an actress whose best days are behind her, as she searches for that elusive critical hit that would propel to her to the top. No woman symbolizes this more than Bipasa whose chest contains many secrets, including but not limited to its provenance and chemical composition. In no particular order.īipasa Basu: It is said that the greatest raaz or secret is that which a woman carries her in her chest. This, I believe, is not a co-incidence because sitting through Raaz 3 is like descending into the deepest depths of the Devil’s Lair. Raaz 3 has seven layers of horror, which keen readers will note is the same number of circles of Hell envisioned by Dante. It has caught the world by storm, getting reviews from NY Times ( link) and LA Times ( link), setting box-office records in India and perhaps, most impossibly, reviving the career of Bipasa Basu. Which is why I doff my cap to Vikram Bhatt, a true master of horror, who effortlessly handles four, five, six and even sometimes seven layers of horror with consummate ease.Ĭase in point, Vikram Bhatt’s latest blockbuster Raaz 3 aka Raaz 3D aka Raaz the Third Dimension. Two levels (the outer and the inner) is the maximum I can handle and that too with difficulty. In other words, I try to hide the real horror of the story beneath the surface of the narrative such that what is being shown is as important (if not more) than what is being implied. As someone who writes genre fiction (Please buy “The Mine” if you have not yet), I always strive to layer in my elements.
