Whether to call it Raaz - The Mystery Continues or Raaz II? But now they will have to act fast – before their publicity material goes into print. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman.
For, with a title like Raaz - The Mystery Continues, they cannot expect the public to call the film by that name. The appendage, 'The Mystery Continues', is not one which has commonly used English words.
Leave alone the non-English-speaking crowds, even those who converse in Queen's English will never use the entire title while referring to the film.
And so, much as Sony and Bhatt may wish to emphasize that their new Raaz is not a sequel to the old Raaz (produced by Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt), people will call it Raaz II, implying thereby that it is a sequel. And this, simply because they can't call it Raaz as that film is still fresh in public memory.
Therefore, Sony and Mahesh Bhatt urgently need to come up with a more easy-on-the-tongue title, perhaps, begin- ning or ending with Raaz but definitely not ending with the words The Mystery Continues. How about Ek Aur Raaz or Phir Ek Raaz or Phir Raaz or Raaz Phir or Raaz Ki Baat?
