![]() ![]() She did not perform brilliantly, nor did she look as stunningly beautiful as she looks today, but she did perform well and looked attractive and beautiful. ![]() Although these were still the days when she had not yet become a national sex symbol, this girl had extremely expressive eyes and graceful mannerisms. The film has one main highlight for me, and it's Bipasha Basu who carries the film on her own shoulders. This is not really a performance-driven role, though he is restrained throughout and looks suitable for the role. Raaz therefore does work as a thriller most of the time. This does not mean though the effect was damaged completely, because you wouldn't really expect to see a realistic film with such a story. Generally, thrillers and horror films often display magical realism to make it more convincing and scaring (again, Bhoot), and the acting is natural for the same purpose, but this film has far too many unrealistic sequences, over-the-top dialogues and exaggerated acting (except for Bipasha) even in very ordinary and simple scenes which are not part of the suspense. Anyway, if the film had been made as a complete thriller, it would probably have not succeeded commercially as expected by the producers. While films like Bhoot use music which contributes to the film's genre perfectly, the songs in Raaz are very melodious and romantic, which makes them odd and unsuitable for a thriller like Raaz. It's a very funny mixture of thriller and romance. Raaz is a very average film in terms of film-making. ![]()
