Dino Morea Says ‘Raaz’ with Bipasha Basu Was More Profitable Than Expected!

Bollywood actor Dino Morea recently revealed that his 2002 horror thriller Raaz, co-starring Bipasha Basu, turned out to be far more profitable than anyone had imagined. The film, directed by Vikram Bhatt, became a sleeper hit and established Dino and Bipasha as a power duo in Bollywood at the time.

‘Raaz’—A Game Changer for Bollywood Horror

During a recent interview, Dino Morea shared that Raaz was initially made on a modest budget but ended up raking in massive profits. “Nobody expected the film to perform the way it did. It became a cult classic and was one of the biggest hits of 2002,” he said.

The success of Raaz redefined Bollywood’s horror genre, making way for more psychological thrillers and supernatural films in the years that followed. The chemistry between Dino and Bipasha was also widely appreciated, and the movie is still remembered for its eerie soundtrack and spine-chilling moments.

From Modeling to Stardom

Before Raaz, Dino was primarily known as a model. His foray into Bollywood was filled with challenges, but the film’s success cemented his place in the industry. Though he later appeared in films like Gunaah, Baaz: A Bird in Danger, and Fight Club, none matched the impact of Raaz.

Bipasha Basu’s Rise to Fame

Raaz was also a turning point in Bipasha Basu’s career. The film’s success helped her gain recognition as one of Bollywood’s leading actresses, eventually leading to a string of hit films in the thriller and horror genres.

Raaz’s Legacy Lives On

Even after two decades, Raaz continues to be one of Bollywood’s most successful horror films, with multiple sequels following its legacy. However, Dino Morea believes that the first Raaz remains unmatched, both in terms of storytelling and impact.
