Critical Reception
Shresht Poddar of Score Magazine, gave it 2 out of 5 stars & said,"Vishesh Films has always been associated with good music and Raaz, as well as, Raaz 2 had set the bar higher. Ironically, this album (as well as the recent Blood Money) have managed to dissolve all those standards to dust. They really need to pull up their socks and bounce back with a chartbuster score in the future."[8] Similarly, as per DunkDaft,"This..is simply below the levels of previous ones. Jeet Ganguly's score for this one, is a downer. Bhatts would not be go more if with Jeet Gannguli's down market musics. Arko The new comer in bhatt camp is a talented composer."[9]
Release
Raaz 3D released in India and overseas on September 07, 2012. Raaz 3D is India's second-ever 3D horror movie. The movie releaseed in Steroicopic 3D, Imax 3D and 3D worldwide.

Critical Reception
The movie received mixed reviews from critics. Critics pointed out that the only saving grace of the movie is Bipasha. Independent Bollywood gave 3 out of 5 stars and quoted "Some real original scares and chills this time with memorable performances." [10] Subhash K. Jha of IANS gave 2 out of 5 stars saying, "It’s Bipasha who holds together the feverish proceedings. She delivers a full-bodied gutsy performance.".[11] Udita Jhunjhunwala of businessofcinema.com said, "Bhatt gets the rhythm of the suspense-building wrong, going all too rapidly from grotesque decapitation to a kiss and song scene. It does not help that the acting is also at different levels. Most of the burden to convince rests on Basu’s fit shoulders – and she does. You do believe that she is menacing and wicked." [12]
