#RaaRaa --- ( 1.5/5) Jaded n Suffocating Horror flick.....There's absolutely NO seriousness in the film as the story takes off in 2nd Half.Even the COMEDY tracks gives you HEADACHE...... Better to AVOID

After watching a movie like #RaaRaa, I am positively convinced that there is no death of talent in making abstract films that don't make any sense. A highly learning experience in how can an idea be converted into scrap film.

Be it the writing or cinematography, it is very good. The interval bang is terrific as it sets curiosity levels to the peak. Thus, one expect the second-half to be more serious laced with drama, thrill. To an extent, it serves to the expectations. However, the second half could have been better given an impressive interval bang. Yet, Raa Raa delivers to its segment of audiences. Srikanth has succeeded in his maiden horror film.

Horror comedies are quite common in Tollywood and half of them have the same story. But some films click because of the packaging and comedy which is good to an extent. But sadly for Raa Raa, there is no story, proper narration, and basic thrills. Apart from Srikanth and Shakala Shankar's sincere performance, this film is filled with over the top and silly proceedings which make you look towards the exit doors most of the time. Stay away from this one.

The Hans India Rating: 2.25

Srikanth should change the style and taste he is showing while selecting the scripts. There is nothing exceptional to tell about the film. The point of the movie is routine, and we have already seen it in several other movies in the past. The characterisations lack strength, and hence the audiences find everything artificial while watching the film. On the whole, the film can be skipped easily.
