Raaz: The Mystery Continues, shortened as RTMC or Raaz 2, (English: Secret: The Mystery Continues) is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language supernatural horror film directed by Mohit Suri. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut, Adhyayan Suman, and Jackie Shroff. It is the second installment in the Raaz series, but is considered a standalone sequel to the 2002 film Raaz. The film deals with issues of the ghosts which are allegedly prevalent in India and the world around us. An artist named Prithvi has the ability to paint the future. His paintings tell Nandita's future.

The film was released on 23 January 2009. It received generally mixed reviews from critics, with praise towards the performances and music, but criticism for its pacing. Made on a budget of 18 crore (equivalent to 45 crore or US$5.4 million in 2023), the film earned 38.09 crore (equivalent to 96 crore or US$11 million in 2023) worldwide and emerged as a commercial success. A third installment was released in 2013 with Emraan Hashmi in the lead. It was first in a series of quasi-sequels released under the Bhatt Banner including Murder 2, Jannat 2, Jism 2, Raaz 3D and 1920: Evil Returns, each of which had nothing to do with their respective prequels, but somehow fell in the same genre following a similar story.
