Raaz..The Mystery that should have been discontinued...

Raaz-The Mystery Continues is Mahesh Bhatt chela Mohit Suri's effort to cash in on the surprise success of 2002's Raaz. While Raaz was mostly 'inspired' by Robert Zemeckis' tepid 'What Lies Beneath' and owed much of its success to its hit music, Raaz II is, shall we say, more schizophrenic in its 'inspirations.'
It is a horror/suspence film that suffers from a Multiple Personality Disorder. Masochistic whip lashings from The Da-Vinci Code, Wells from Ringu, Groping Bathtubs and unknown callers from The Grudge; Director Mohit Suri takes the trouble to pick and choose the choicest of international Horror elements and stir up a truly Indian potty-boiler. Hollywood/Japanese Horror with Desi tadka.
This 3 hour brain stew is a pain//staking effort where red eyed Sadhu-Sants and Midnight Aghori-punks spell mayhem and disaster for one and all. And unlike the original Raaz, Raaz II doesn't have a single memorable tune to recall.
Like Mohit Suri's Woe Lamhe , neurotic-big forehead Kangana Ranaut rehashes the role of a high-strung model who starts winning staring contests against herself in the mirror and ripping the clothes off her back in the heat of all those over made up sultry fashion-nights.
Nycil Anybody?

A Goateed Painter Emraan Hashmi who loves presenting Kangana with scary 'Goya' portraits of herself and an anti-occult TV anchor Adhyayan Suman keep vying for her dis-affections while trying to unravel the mystery around her possession.
The hystrionics drift from Mumbai to a vaguely religious place called Kalindi where Hashmi and his dead/undead father(Jackie Shroff) manage to slay all evil, restore sanity and prove that desi bhoot-pret-aatmas can self-assuredly cast aspersions in size 300 Arial Font on steamy bathroom mirrors.
Mohit Suri! Truly~ 'Tum asuddh Ho. Tum Sar chuke ho!'
