Raaz 2

 Raaz 3 I will start by saying I watch  Raaz 2  with no expectations. I don't like either the leading actor or actress. You may ask why did I buy the film? I bought the film because I saw the leading lady from  Raaz  return in Raaz 3 , and to evaluate the series objectively, I need to see all four films in the series.

To further confuse the viewers, the leading from 1 is not in 2, but returned for 3. Apparently, she turned down the role to be in the Race and Dhoom  series. The leading lady,   Bipasha Basu , also appeared in the film Rakht as a fortune teller.
