Release date: September 21, 2012 
Director: Madhur Bhandarkar
BudgetIndian rupee 180 million
Music: Suleiman Merchant, Salim Merchant
Screenplay: Niranjan Iyengar, Madhur Bhandarkar
Madhur Bhandarkar's signature style of portraying reality onscreen. Story of a struggling actress, but after chandni bar, page 3, fashion.. Heroine seem to have the weakest female lead. Corporate, politicians, prostitutes, gay characters, supermodel has became so common in Bhandarkar's movie that now it became bit tiring. Strong point of the movie is the unpredictable story-line. I personally hate when directors cast non-bengali actors in bengali characters and they pronounce wrongly. Ranvir Shorey simply make fun of art film directors. Randeep Hooda steal the spotlight, superb acting. Kareena expose more than the movie demands.. the hot bod is worth watching, justify why 'conservative' Aishwarya stop filming (forget her pregnancy story). The movie ends abruptly. Overall a very mediocre film - one time watch. 


My Rating: 2/5

Raaz 3 is a Bollywood horror film directed by Vikram Bhatt, and produced by Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt.

Release dateSeptember 7, 2012
GenreHorror
Prequel: Raaz 2
Starring: Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta
I believe horror movie is one of the most difficult genre to perform, because in most scene actor's partner is computer generated; In Raaz 3 all the actors specially Esha Gupta are at their best in performance. Jeet Ganguly's background score is a big asset for the movie. Songs are good. Skin show moderate; one passionate kiss by Emraan Hashmi, expected. Vfx are not world class, but of good quality. Strong Storyline is the base of any good movie, so as Raaz 3. I would not say the story is 'original' but is well Indianized. If you have a liking for Hollywood movies like me, you may find few similarities with The House, Inception, The Birds, The Devil's Advocate and some vfx like The Mummy. Nevertheless, Vikram Bhatt's Raaz 3 is one of the best Bollywood supernatural scary movie.. a must watch for all movie lovers. 

My Rating: 4/5
