Raakaasa story (no spoilers)
Raakaasa follows an NRI who returns to his village after a decade, hoping to reconnect with his roots and perhaps pursue a romance. His homecoming takes a dark turn when he inadvertently awakens an ancient darkness that the villagers have long feared. As the supernatural threat grows, his love life becomes entangled with danger, and the stakes rise to life and death. The film blends fantasy and comedy, using the contrast between the NRI's modern outlook and the village's eerie secrets to drive both humour and horror. With a runtime of 130 minutes, the story unfolds as a homecoming nightmare, balancing light-hearted moments with escalating tension as the awakened force threatens everyone involved.

Our verdict
Raakaasa offers a fresh mix of fantasy and comedy set against a village backdrop, with a cast that includes familiar Telugu comedic talents. The film's 130-minute runtime keeps the story tight, though the tonal shifts between humour and horror may not appeal to everyone. It's a decent pick for those looking for a light supernatural comedy, but those seeking pure horror or straight comedy might want to adjust expectations.
