The Fort Monster’s Tale: Horror Meets Hilarity
“Raakaasa Movie: The Monster in the Fort!” promises a sensational horror-comedy treat for Tollywood audiences, featuring Sangeeth Shobhan as the hero and produced by Niharika Konidela. Released on April 3, 2026, this review delves into whether ‘Raakaasa’ marks another blockbuster hit for the Mega Daughter in her second production venture. The film stars Sangeeth Shobhan, Nayan Sarika, Vennela Kishore, Brahmaji, Tanikella Bharani, and Getup Sreenu. Produced by Niharika Konidela and Umesh Kumar, ‘Raakaasa’ is classified as a horror-fantasy-comedy-thriller. Niharika had previously achieved success with her debut production, ‘Committee Kurrollu,’ making ‘Raakaasa’ a highly anticipated follow-up. The horror-plus-comedy genre itself enjoys a unique craze, offering audiences laughter alongside scares, and ‘Raakaasa’ aims to deliver precisely that blend.
The storyline follows Veerababu (Sangeeth Shobhan) as he returns from America to his hometown. He searches for his childhood sweetheart, who has become distant, while Subbalakshmi (Nayan Sarika) grows close to him. The plot thickens with the murder of Somu (Vennela Kishore) in the village, which entangles Veerababu in an unexpected case. Circumstances force Veerababu to face a terrifying fate: becoming a sacrifice to the monster lurking in the fort. The film then unravels the mystery of this monster and whether Veerababu manages to escape with his life.
The movie captivates from its opening by introducing the monster effectively. Comedy picks up pace with Veerababu’s entry, with Sangeeth Shobhan’s comedic timing, particularly alongside Getup Sreenu in the first half and Vennela Kishore in the second half, proving to be a major strength. The twist leading into the interval is also highly engaging. While it’s 2026, elements like ancient forts, monsters, and human sacrifices might seem illogical to some viewers. However, if one is willing to set logic aside, ‘Raakaasa’ offers a complete time-pass entertainment experience.
Comedy, Music, and Stunning Production Values

Nayan Sarika performed her role effectively, while Brahmaji and Tanikella Bharani also contributed within the scope of their characters. Anudeep Dev’s outstanding background music is crucial for a horror film and adds a special touch to ‘Raakaasa,’ enhancing its grand visuals.
Producer Niharika Konidela deserves commendation. She produced ‘Raakaasa’ grandly within a limited budget, making it look impressive on screen, exactly as she envisioned. The production values are commendable, and her strong promotional efforts prior to release successfully generated significant buzz around the film.
