Emraan Hashmi plays a painter, named Prithvi, who has an extraordinary gift, the ability to paint the future.

It was first in a series of quasi-sequels released under the Bhatt Banner including Murder 2, Jannat 2, Jism 2, Raaz 3D and 1920: Evil Returns, each of which had nothing to do with their respective prequels, but somehow fell in the same genre following a similar story.

The story shifts to model Nandita, who is in love with Yash, the director and host of a reality show "Andhvishwas," dealing with superstitions of ghosts.

Meanwhile, David, the owner of a chemical plant, hangs himself after writing in Hindi the words "You are impure, you are rotten from inside" with his blood.

They arrive at Kalindi and meet the priest's wife, who tells them that her husband was evil and his death was not surprising, considering the crimes he had committed against innocent people.

Inside the well, she realises that it was Prithvi's father, Veer Pratap Singh, who was possessing her: he had discovered that the Kalindi chemical plant dumped its toxins into a lake where thousands gathered once a year to bathe in a sacred ritual.

[10] Suri had reportedly added a lot of dramatic space to the film and played around with visuals and sounds which led to an extraordinary pace.

[11] Suri got inspired about the movie after reading a lot on Hindu mythology, where good and evil are represented in stark contrast.

Also, the main secret revealed in the climax is inspired from Erin Brockovich where the female lead is also investigating about the water of an area getting contaminated due to a nearby Energy & Gas plant.

[13] Originally it was thought that Bipasha Basu would be called for RTMC since she hasn't worked with the Bhatts post Jism.

Adhyayan Suman plays Yash, a documentary filmmaker who is perceived as an atheist and believes in scientific rationale behind everything.

Since playing a supermodel, she had to reportedly undergo many types of looks and even changed her hair colour to red.

According to the actor, though comparisons are evident with the earlier Raaz, this film has a different plot and will give a new definition to the horror genre.

[26] Indian television and film actor Sushant Singh Rajput of Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil and Pavitra Rishta fame assisted director Mohit Suri during the making of the movie.

Sony BMG partnered with social networking site "Ibibo" to launch a web application for the movie.

Ashish Kashyap, CEO, Ibibo.com, said, "The Raaz – The Mystery Continues application on Ibibo.com reiterates our core value proposition to recognize talent and enable users to self express and engage with latest Bollywood content.

[28] However, the cast, including actors Emraan Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut, later appeared for the promotion of the movie at Bangalore.

The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars saying that,"Emraan Hashmi & Kangana Ranaut bring the Gangster magic again....they have done a good job whereas Adhyayan Suman shows promise.

"[34] Bollywood Hungama gave a good review saying "On the whole, Raaz – The Mystery Continues is rich in the horror quotient and that is one of its major USPs, besides the highly competent performances by its principal cast and a lilting musical score.

"[35] NDTV gave negative reviews for the movie saying "The first Raaz, which married the Hollywood film What Lies Beneath with the myth of Savitri who pursued Yamraj until her husband came back to life, had a cheesy appeal.

He gave the film a mere 2 out of 5 and said, "Raaz – The Mystery Continues, which with all its hype was supposed scare the lights out of you, could not make me bat an eyelid out of fear.

The movie is being played in the maximum shows across most multiplexes and recorded nearly 80 per cent collections in the first three days of its release.

The last music video of the song, "Kaisa Ye Raaz Hai", was released in the 2nd week of January 2009.

[42] The music received positive reviews and tracks like "Maahi", "Kaisa Ye Raaz Hai" and "Soniyo" were particularly praised.

NDTV gave a good review saying "Overall, the music of Raaz – The Mystery Continues has its own place under the sun.

In this regard, the music of Raaz – TMC has its own place under the sun and what matters in the end is whether it works for the film or not.

Sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal, the pleasant track moves at a very steady pace.

According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 13,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's twelfth highest-selling.

[45] The soundtrack of Raaz The Mystery Continues was composed by Shaarib-Toshi, Raju Singh, Pranay M. Rijia and Gourov Dasgupta.

Sharib-Toshi mark their debut with this film, while Raju Singh composes songs for a soundtrack after many years, Gourov Dasgupta and Pranay M. Rijia are newcomers.
