How to watch

Raaz began in 2002 as a supernatural thriller directed by Vikram Bhatt and starring Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea. Its haunting soundtrack and atmospheric scares made it a major hit, and the Bhatt family's Vishesh Films turned it into an anthology franchise. Each sequel tells a new ghost story with new characters, though familiar faces like Bipasha Basu and Emraan Hashmi return in different roles.

🕐 Release Order

Here's the complete Raaz franchise in release order.

1. Raaz (2002)
2. Raaz: The Mystery Continues (2009)
3. Raaz 3: The Third Dimension (2012)
4. Raaz: Reboot (2016)

Because every Raaz film is a standalone story, there's no ongoing plot to follow between them. The franchise is connected by its themes of love, possession and dark secrets rather than by recurring characters.

📖 Story Chronology

With no shared timeline, the story chronology is the same as the release order.

1. Raaz (2002) — Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea
2. Raaz: The Mystery Continues (2009) — Emraan Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut
3. Raaz 3: The Third Dimension (2012) — Bipasha Basu, Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta
4. Raaz: Reboot (2016) — Kriti Kharbanda, Emraan Hashmi and Gaurav Arora

Which Order Should You Choose?

Since each film stands alone, you can watch them in any order. Still, release order is best for seeing how the franchise evolved from the moody original — loosely inspired by Hollywood's What Lies Beneath — to the 3D effects of the third film. The original Raaz is the essential starting point, and Raaz: The Mystery Continues, directed by Mohit Suri, is a fan favorite thanks to its music and Emraan Hashmi's performance.
