One of my all time favorites.

Don't Believe the Hype

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

the director presents a thriller that will make you watch every scene cautiously. forgetting the first 15 minutes. then the movie gets the treatment it has to. it covers in all aspects. a good suspense till the end that will make the watchers crazy. rock solid songs and good background score that thrills and makes you sweat for fear. a good suspense and crisp storyline. i like a movie when it covers all the elements like story , action , romance , comedy , revenge , tragedy , emotion. the movie covers story well. it holds romance in the first half. revenge is the crux and suspense . tragedy and emotion is not applicable for this movie. comedy is way too far for a thriller. since it covered most of the elements in the right way. this movie is a good flick .

This movie looked very promising from the previews and trailers, but the overall effect is just boring. There are many flaws in this movie, one of them being editing. This movie could have been cut off , especially some of the horror scenes could be cut down a little bit. The story is..Nandita (Kangana Ranaut)is a model who is very successful. An artist,Prithvi (Emraan Hashmi) paints pictures of Nandita, whom he doesn't even know.When he tries to explain to her, she doesn't believe it.But she is forced into believing it when one by one each and every painting of her comes true. She tries explaining to her boyfriend,Yash (Adhyayan Suman) who doesn't believe it. Now the first half is very nicely done,but the flaws are mainly in the second half, especially the climax.1 point for Kangana Ranaut, 1 for Enraan Hashmi, 1 for some of the so-so scary scenes,1 for the songs, and 1 for the overall idea.= 5 stars

The cinematography was the best part of this film...The lighting and photography was brilliant! Also, some of the angles had a very frightening and mysterious feel to it. The direction and story was also unique.Yes, this was overall a well made film but it could have been so much more! A few unnecessary scenes slowed the pace down a bit. The director attempted some cliché gags to frighten the audience. Sometimes it gave me the "been there done that" feel. The acting in the film was OK. Emraan in my opinion, was the best. Adhyayan Suman and Kangana Ranaut were OK. One thing I don't understand is, what was the need of the random English dialogues? That made things a bit less believable. The film was also a bit melodramatic...But it was a good movie overall.

I could not help but to compare it with the First one, and this one does not live up to it. Although the acting of Emraan and especially Kangana's was very commendable, but this sequel did not had the elements which needed to jump u off u chair, and honestly the first part did. This sequel's storyline went weak, there could've been aloooot of suspenseful ideas made but it fails to do so. I was expecting to see some Exorcisms etc... but towards the end it just gets stupid. The first Raaz catches u right away from beginning with the introduction of Ashutosh Rana and until the end he scares u immensely. The screams on first Raaz really scared the hell out of audiences on every instance but this part u had to wait to get scared. I would say this movie was just a little better then Phoonk, but cannot be compared with First Raaz.
