She asks him to destroy Sanjana's life and career. She seeks help of her former servant, Sonu (Sunil Dhariwal), a tantrik who helps her practice black magic and call upon an evil entity, Tara Dutt ( Manish Choudhary). She turns to black magic and makes it her goal in life to destroy Sanjana's career and make her feel the pain of loss. Soon enough, Shanaya sees her career fading away and her envy slowly becomes craziness. Suddenly, Shanaya seems forgotten and everybody only wants to work with Sanjana. Her career takes a drastic roll when a newcomer, Sanjana ( Esha Gupta) who also happens to be Shanaya's step- sister, enters the film industry and comes into spotlight, receiving accolades and appreciation for her work.

Though Raaz 3 doesn't quite go all the way as some of the previous Bhatt films have been, especially the ones featuring Emraan Hashmi, this one still has in it to deliver at least two chartbusters with the rest fitting the bill.Shanaya ( Bipasha Basu) is an ambitious actress who has a passionate affair with a director named Aditya ( Emraan Hashmi). Perhaps this can be attributed to the huge expectations that one has from a Bhatt film due to which one looks at the final product with a magnifying glass even though Jeet Ganguly doesn't make a tune that one entirely turns away from. Raaz 3 begins quite well with ' Deewana Kar Raha Hai' and ' Zindagi Se' though doesn't quite take the same melodic quotient till the very end. A love song about a woman whose heart is pining for someone's love, this one too is a situational outing though better than ' Kya Raaz Hai'. Shreya Ghoshal makes amends with ' Khayalon Mein' which has the kind of beats at the beginning that reminds one of the remix version of ' Thoda Resham Lagta Hai'. In fact if not for its association with a Bhatt film, it would have gone completely unnoticed. A situational track which could well be the one for the pre-climax situation in the film, this one has a very 80s feel to it and barely qualifies as a situational outing. Ironically the song that makes least impact is the title song ' Kya Raaz Hai' and that when there is Shreya Ghoshal at the helm of affairs with Kumaar as the lyricist. Perhaps it's the deja vu factor at play here though one would like to see how the song is picturised. Still, one feels that there is something missing due to which the song doesn't quite go all the way.

From the melody standpoint, ' Oh My Love' belongs to the ' Jab Koyi Baat' and ' Soniyo' mode and one can see the lead protagonists smiling away while holding hands and sharing sweet nothings. It's time for some sweet-n-saccharine composition with Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal arriving on the scene, albeit a tad belatedly. Yes, the song follows the template approach again but Jeet Ganguly and Sanjay Masoom at best manage a situational outing. Normally his vocals are picked for the best of the lot but this time around he makes a belated appearance and doesn't quite leave a mark either. What makes it all the more surprising is the fact that K.K. The flow is interrupted though with ' Rafta Rafta' which, by Bhatts' standards, is just about okay. Yet another song that has a timeless feel to it, it makes it two in a row for the album. The overall impact of the song is such that it could well have been placed in a Jannat 2 or a Murder 2 or a Blood Money and one wouldn't have minded that. Yet another love song that will always be the first choice for a Bhatt film, this Sanjay Masoom written track is sung quite well by Shafqat Ali Khan.

Jeet Ganguly takes over the album from this point on and he ensures that the album further goes on pick up momentum with ' Zindagi Se'. Moving at a balanced pace with not much interruption from any background instruments, this one is a serene outing that immediately registers its presence. A melodious outing that qualifies itself as a Vishesh Films' template song, ' Deewana Kar Raha Hai' is a beautiful love song that has Javed Ali coming on his own. Surprisingly though the first song is by guest composer and lyricist Rashid Khan who arrives with a quintessential Bhatt-Hashmi outing. With Jeet Ganguly too making a comeback of sorts in Bollywood parlance with Bhatts' Blood Money, you are reasonably excited to check out six songs that have been placed in the album. Other than the fact that this is a successful franchise that has boasted of good music in each of its two installments so far, there are also names like Mukesh Bhatt, Emraan Hashmi and Vikram Bhatt involved, each of whom has a good ear for music. One has huge expectations from the music of Raaz 3.
