‘Raakaasa’ Emerges as Family Favourite, Wins Audiences with Clean Comedy and Packs Theatres with Laughter, Crossing 10.30 Cr Worldwide with Surging Momentum


Raakaasa has opened to a strong and collective response at the box office, quickly emerging as a commanding crowd puller across centres. The film is witnessing solid footfalls from the outset, with audiences turning up in good numbers and contributing to a lively theatrical atmosphere. Backed by its entertainment-driven appeal, Raakaasa is steadily building traction and establishing a firm hold among moviegoers.

Driving this momentum is the film’s impressive box office performance across its first two days. Opening with a solid 5.6 crore worldwide gross on Day 1 including premieres, Raakaasa registered a strong jump to reach 10.30 crore worldwide by Day 2, signalling clear growth. The overseas market has also responded positively, contributing over $257K, further strengthening its global presence. The steady rise across territories underlines not just a strong opening, but a film that is gaining ground with each passing show.

The film is witnessing encouraging responses across centres, with audiences embracing its entertainment-driven narrative and humour. From early shows to packed theatres, Raakaasa has generated strong reactions, with viewers enjoying its engaging tone and lively storytelling. Notably, the film builds effectively as it progresses, with the second half enhancing the overall theatrical experience and contributing to sustained audience engagement.

A major strength of the film lies in its wide family appeal. Raakaasa is clearly emerging as families’ first choice because of its entertainment and clean comedy. The Sangeeth–Getup Srinu track has turned out to be a major winner, delivering moments that are drawing consistent laughter across theatres and standing out as a key highlight.

Adding further strength to the humour is Vennela Kishore, whose performance is being widely appreciated as one of his best so far. His timing and screen presence elevate several sequences, strengthening the film’s entertainment quotient and enhancing its repeat value among audiences.

The film is also connecting strongly across age groups. Kids are being glued to the movie for its fantasy elements, while parents are equally engaged by its humour and overall entertainment, making Raakaasa a balanced theatrical outing. This cross-generational appeal is translating into steady occupancies, particularly among family audiences.

The strong audience reception is also reflected across ticketing platforms, with Raakaasa trending on BookMyShow, recording over 60.03K tickets booked in the last 24 hours and holding an impressive user rating of 8.7, further underlining its growing popularity among moviegoers.

Backed by producers Niharika Konidela and Umesh Kumar Bansal under Pink Elephant Pictures in association with Z Studios, Raakaasa marks the feature directorial debut of Manasa Sharma, with Mahesh Uppala contributing to the screenplay. Led by Sangeeth Shobhan alongside Nayan Sarika, the film features a vibrant ensemble including Vennela Kishore, Brahmaji, Tanikella Bharani, Ashish Vidyarthi, Getup Srinu, Sukwinder Singh, Annapurnamma, Anoopsingh Thakur, Ramana Bhargav, Vasu Inturi, Rohini (Jabardasth) and Rohan (#90’s). The technical team includes music by Anudeep Dev, cinematography by Raju Edurolu and editing by Anwar Ali.

With a strong opening, sustained growth and widespread audience acceptance, Raakaasa is continuing its successful theatrical run across centres. Positioned as a crowd-favourite entertainer this summer and a stress buster for the season, the film is drawing families and general audiences alike. Currently running in theatres, Raakaasa is reinforcing its hold as a widely enjoyed big-screen experience.
