While the film features a strong ensemble cast, Raaz 3 belongs entirely to Bipasha Basu. Already established as Bollywood's premier horror icon through films like the original Raaz (2002) and Aatma , Basu delivered what many critics consider one of the most intense performances of her career.
The Indian horror film landscape underwent a massive transformation in the early 2010s, shifting from traditional ghost stories to sleek, psychological, and high-stakes supernatural thrillers. At the forefront of this evolution was the 2012 blockbuster Raaz 3 (also known as Raaz 3D ), directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt.

Raaz 3 opened to mixed reviews from critics but eventually gained momentum to become a commercial success. The film grossed over ₹ 59 crores at the domestic box office and over ₹ 32 crores internationally, making it one of the highest-grossing films of 2012. The film's success can be attributed to its engaging storyline, impressive special effects, and the lead actors' performances.
Raaz 3 was one of the earliest mainstream Bollywood horror movies shot natively in 3D. The technology was used effectively to enhance jump scares, sending ghostly apparitions and flying objects directly toward the audience.
