Raakshasa

2026 · 1 season

A slow, humid procedural that lets old myths and modern forensics grind against each other until the riverbank feels genuinely unsafe.

Overview: SI Hanmappa investigates a trail of crocodile attacks on the banks of the Malaprabha. While villagers blame them on ancient myths, the discovery of bloodied remains changes the course of the case.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, dark and melancholic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Mystery, death, faith, isolation
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
