Raksha

About This Movie

Raksha is an intriguing blend of horror and thriller, with a palpable tension that lingers throughout. The atmosphere is thick with dread, accentuated by practical effects that bring the supernatural into an unsettling reality. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the disorientation of the protagonist's plight. The theme of desperation, as the father seeks help for his possessed daughter, feels relatable yet terrifying. Performances are earnest, especially from the child actor portraying Raksha, which lends an unsettling authenticity to the horror. What stands out is how it tackles black magic without diving into cliché, instead offering a unique narrative that keeps you engaged till the end.
