ETimes review for ‘Raakaasa’
ETimes gave it only 2.5 stars and our review reads, “The second half shifts more firmly into a supernatural thriller space, with the story revealing its core conflict. While this stretch offers a few better comic moments, it also feels predictable, following a well-worn path of curses and sacrifice. The supporting cast, including Tanikella Bharani, Brahmaji and Ashish Vidyarthi, fit their roles well but aren’t given enough to do.“Our review adds, “Comedy from Getup Srinu and Vennela Kishore stands out, adding some much-needed energy. However, the film doesn’t quite build enough tension or emotional weight to elevate its central idea. The visual effects, crucial to the setting, feel underwhelming and take away from the overall impact.Despite its mix of genres and a few engaging moments, the film settles into a familiar groove. It remains an easy, one-time watch that entertains in parts but doesn’t leave a lasting impression.”While it may not be setting the box office on fire, the film offers a light entertainer for audiences looking for a mix of comedy and mild thrills.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
