Niharika Konidela scored a hit as a producer with Committee Kurrollu and later made the horror-fantasy film Rakasa. Starring Sangeeth Shobhan and Nayan Sarika, the film is directed by debutant Manasa Sharma. It released on April 3rd and received positive talk from premiere shows. The movie opened well at the box office, especially over the first weekend.
However, IPL matches affected its weekday performance. Still, the film is managing decent collections overall.
Let’s look at its 5-day box office numbers:
| Telangana | 2.90 crore |
| Ceded | 0.65 crore |
| Andhra (Total) | 2.28 crore |
| AP + Telangana (Total) | 5.83 crore |
| Rest of India + Overseas | 2.49 crore |
| Worldwide Total | 8.32 crore(share) |
Rakasa did Rs. 14.5 crore business and needs Rs. 15 crore share to break even. In 5 days, it earned Rs. 8.32 crore share and Rs. 14.46 crore gross. It still needs Rs. 6.68 crore share.
