Sangeeth Shobhan’s Rakasa Set for Netflix Debut on May 1 in Five Languages

Sangeeth Shobhan and Nayan Sarika starrer Rakasa is making headlines once again as the film gears up for its OTT release on Netflix from May 1. Produced by Niharika Konidela, Rakasa enjoyed a surprisingly robust run at the box office, leaving fans eager for its digital premiere.

Directed by a talented team under Niharika Konidela’s production, the film won appreciation for Sangeeth's energetic performance and its engaging comedic screenplay. The buzz around Rakasa intensified when Netflix added it to their “New & Hot” section, with audiences expressing excitement across social media platforms about the multilingual release.

What sets this OTT launch apart is Rakasa’s availability in five languages—Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam—mirroring Netflix’s recent strategy to broaden the reach of South Indian cinema. With a modest budget of ₹15 crore, the film’s theatrical gross of ₹27 crore was a testament to its widespread appeal, especially in the mid-budget space where such sustained box office runs are rare. The positive word of mouth was particularly strong for its comedy and screenplay, as per reports.

Now, with streaming set to begin, the Rakasa team is aiming for another wave of popularity. As anticipation builds, all eyes are on whether Rakasa will become one of Netflix India’s top Telugu titles this May.
