Our take
Raakaasa is a Telugu horror-romance about an NRI who returns home, falls in love and unleashes a village demon. Subtitles carry a lot of demon and ghost talk, plus a murder investigation, corpses near a fort, drunk characters and brief kiss banter. Supernatural dread and village folklore matter more here than jump-scare gore. It suits older teens who can handle regional horror, not younger kids.
Uplifting themes
Kindness and courage still surface amid the folklore horror The heroes risk themselves to protect the village from the demon
Story (may spoil tone)
Returning home after a decade, an NRI chasing romance inadvertently awakens an ancient darkness long feared by his village. As the threat intensifies, love turns deadly and life hangs in the balance.
