PERFORMANCES: Hashmi manages to do total justice to his character and brings in the much needed pace in the narrative.Gaurav Arora delivers a convincing performance in the film. Kriti Kharbanda. Armed with an endearing screen presence and strong performance in the film.

MUSIC: composed by Jeet Gannguly.The songs like "Lo Maan Liya" ,"Raaz Aankhein Teri" & "Yaad Hai Na" are well composedand sung by Arijit Singh.

Story is okay.Script successfully manages to keep the audiences engaged and hooked to the film till the end but the horror sequences are unimpressive & very common.This is the biggest let down of the film.

Overall,Raaz Reboot is one time watch only.
