‘Raaz was more profitable than Devdas,’ claims Dino Morea: ‘If you look at expenses and revenue, ours was a bigger hit’

Dino added, “Even though we just won two awards and we didn’t win anything for music. The music of that film was so popular, people still listen to it. But there isn’t a single award for that music.” The music of the film was composed by Nadeem-Shravan and they won the Zee Cine Award for Best Music that year. The film’s album was also nominated at Filmfare Awards but the award was won by AR Rahman for Saathiya. Dino continued, “We got the new jodi award but no awards for music. Devdas won everything that year, they took all the awards.” Dino said that Devdas was a bigger film in terms of its perception, and was marketed in the same way but “if you look at expenses and revenue, Raaz was a much profitable film,” he claimed.

Raaz was a horror film that also starred Bipasha Basu. In the same chat, Dino spoke about their break-up during the shoot and said, “During Raaz, we were breaking up, and to be honest, it was me who was breaking up with Bipasha because we had some issues. So she found it very tough and I was seeing her every day on the set. She was upset. It was very, very tough at that point for me to see someone I care about so much.” He added, “We had already chosen different paths, and though we tried to work things out, it just wasn’t happening. Eventually, I moved on.”
