What do film stars with waning mojos do when they fail to win awards? Swig whisky on the rocks and wallow in self-pity? Raaz 3’s megalomaniac, mantra-reciting, tacky-costume-wearing heroine Shanaya (Bipasha Basu) plays out those clichés, in front of a giant photograph of herself no less, before she seeks out the devil.īipasha Basu’s dusky beauty and oomph factor have always been a draw for filmmakers and audiences alike. Bipasha Basu steals the show left, right and center as Shanaya Emraan and Esha are average, say critics. Talking about the horror part in the film, we definitely aren't scared to death. One of the biggest starts of 2012," Adarsh's another tweet read.Ĭritics report: Raaz 3 gets mixed reviews, Bipasha steals the show The film is one of the biggest openers of 2012.

"#Raaz3 trends: S screens/heartland/mass-dominated circuits 80% to 85%, urban centres 45% to 55%.
The fact that the movie is doing well in the bigger film circuits, should guarantee the movie a good Day 1 box office," added the trade website. On the other hand Metros like Delhi & Mumbai showed considerably poor footfall. "Circuits where the movies did pretty well ranged from Rajasthan, Bihar, CPCI and Nizam. Since the movie also released in 3D the 3D screens are having a better footfall than the 2D ones," reports. Average occupancy in single screens was somewhere around 80% whereas that of in multiplexes about 60%. The movie as expected is doing better at single screen theaters than that of multiplexes. "Raaz 3 showed a pretty good opening at the Indian box office. Bhatts, Emraan & 's biggest opener!" tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh. "#Raaz3 *India* Thu previews 58 lacs, Fri 10.47 cr.
