Average first week for Rakshasudu – Worldwide Collections
Rakshasudu has an average first week as the film has collected a worldwide distributor share of over 8.70 Cr. This is the fourth highest first week for the hero behind Alludu Seenu, Jaya Janaki Nayaka & Saakshyam. After a decent first weekend, the film was very average on weekdays with some considerable drop in collections on Wednesday. Collections aren’t that low but they aren’t enough for the rates which the film is sold. The fate of the film now depends upon the second week where it should utilise the 3 holidays (including 1 partial) and also brave the new releases.

US box office : Lukewarm response for Rakshasudu
Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas’ Rakshasudu, an official remake of Tamil runaway hit Ratsasan, released this week with a low buzz. The film opened to lukewarm response from overseas audience.
As Bellamkonda’s previous films left no trace at US box office, Rakshasudu got a tepid start with $ 32K from its first day including Thursday premiers. The riveting thriller received decent reviews and word of mouth for its intriguing plot and gripping narration. On Saturday, it managed to collect $ 25K from 74 locations to take the total past $ 50K. Compared to his previous outings, Rakshasudu might offer some relief to Bellamkonda who is struggling to deliver a decent film to audience. But, the film need to perform well in the second week to earn a respectable gross in overseas.
Directed by Ramesh Varma, Rakshasudu is billed as a faithful remake of Ratsasan. Anupama Parameshwaran is the female lead.
Rakshasudu Day 1 AP/TS Collections – Decent opening
Rakshasudu has taken a decent opening in Telugu States as the film has collected a distributor share of 1.96 Cr. The film has a decent start in the noon shows and maintained steady collections over the day with night shows showing good gains especially in A centres. With good word of mouth among the audience the film should hold steady on day two with collections in range of day one(worth shares). In an area like Nizam it can show growth on Saturday as Plexes in Hyderabad will show very good growth. The film should show jump on Sunday and it will be all about how huge it is going to be.

Rakshasudu Review – Lengthy Thriller
Rakshasudu Review
Rakshasudu Review
Telugu360 Rating 2.75/5
Bellamkonda Sreenivas is desperate of success and after a series of failures, he has his hopes on Rakshasudu, the remake of Tamil blockbuster film Ratsasan. Ramesh Varma directed this action drama and Anupama Parameshwaran plays the female lead. Satyanarayana Koneru is the producer and Rakshasudu releases on August 2nd in India, premiered on August 1st in USA. Ghibran composed the music and the background score.
Story :
An aspiring film maker Arun quits his futile attempts in film industry , finally takes up a Police SI Job. At that time city is panic about a serial killer who is targeting school girls. As his research for cinema scripts was on psycho killers,Arun dedicatedlyfocusses on investigating the serial killer’s case. One after another his initial suspects are wrong ones, how he completes the tough task of tracking down the real culprit is the rest of the story
Analysis:
Serial killer or Psycho killer movies often setup with a weird, flashy backdrops and directors tend to over try the things. Here in Rakshasudu, the setup around the prime characters is realistic and simple. The surprises are organically blended in the narration. First half is decent but some predictable structure to the premise. The director (read as the original director) has succeeded in engaging the audience with his tight screenplay until the pre-climax. The flashback for the villain, which is the key element,has been told blandly and looked very artificial. Thus, Pre-climax and climax scenes are dragged.
Bellamkonda sreenivas got a good role finally, he performed well. There is one scene after the interval, in which both Sreenivas and Rajiv Kanakala excelled in emotions. Anupama parameswaran got lesser important role as a school teacher and she is just okay. Except one song bit, there are no commercial songs in this film .Rakshasudu is one osreenivas’s career best as he looks fit as cop, confident and carries the role with ease and conviction
Director Ramesh Varma succeed in remake. Ghibran’s music helps the film tremendously. Venkat C. Dilip ‘s cinematography is good. The art work designed for the psycho’s residence is bit out of the place
Positives:
- Good screenplay which engaging narration mostly
- Performances
- Background score
Negatives:
- Prolonged in pre-climax , Climax
- Villain flashback is not effective
Verdict
Rakshasudu film offers a tight screenplay that keeps the proceedings interesting till the end. First half is decent but with some predictable structure to set the theme. Second half is engaging but prolonged at times. Overall ..Rakshasudu , a dark psycho thriller , is watchable for the audience who like this genre.
