The fantasy-comedy thriller 'Raakaasa,' starring Sangeeth Shobhan and Nayan Sarika, has achieved a net collection of Rs 7.92 Cr in India within its opening weekend. The film's global gross stands at Rs 11.63 Cr, with international markets contributing Rs 2.50 Cr.
On its third day, 'Raakaasa' garnered Rs 2.47 Cr, marking a minor 5% decline from the previous day. Overall occupancy was reported at a stable 33.63%, with evening shows performing best. The movie's plot centers on Eera Babu, an NRI who returns to marry his childhood love, only to be caught in a village mystery after a night near a cursed fort.
Critics noted that while the second half shifts into a supernatural thriller, it feels predictable. Comedy from Getup Srinu and Vennela Kishore was highlighted as a strong point, but the film struggled with tension and emotional depth. Despite its flaws, 'Raakaasa' offers a light, one-time watch experience for audiences seeking a blend of comedy and mild suspense.
