After he joins, he comes across a case that is shaking the city with fear. He finds out that it's a serial killer with help of the information he gathers for his movies. How the hero will handle this? Will the case get personal? Who is that Killer? This will form the story
Artiste Performances
Coming to our Protagonist, Bellamkonda Sreenivas does what is needed for the role. His physic completely matches to the police role. Though he gives good performance than his previous movies in few scenes we will feel that he could have done better. Leaving them apart he gives very good performance
Anupama Parameswaran gets a very different role, not like the roles she got before. Though she has a limited screen time, she does what is required for the plot and helps the hero to find the psycho.
Saravanan who played Christopher is excellent and all his scenes send chills down the spine. Rajeev Kanakala and other provide required emotional connect and highs to the movie.

With Ghibran's BGM the scene elevates so much that it becomes an Edge-of-the-seat thriller experience.
Though it feels a little dragged at times but the director manages to arrest you to the screen throughout with terrific narration.
There is no Heroism in the movie. Director has done complete justice to the story by not adding any heroism or much commercial elements. The whole movie gives you an impressive thriller experience.
(My) Final Word:
Rashasudu is a remake of the sensational Tamil movie Ratsasan. It tells a spine-chilling serial killer story and how he is stopped. Family Audience may find it a bit difficult to see some scenes in the first half but if you sit through, you can experience an edge-of-the-seat thriller. I would say Bellamkonda Sreenivas Finally gets the right movie for him. If you are a Thriller Genre lover Just go for it.
a
Bottom Line: Intense Edge-of-the-Seat Thriller.
Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
