Rakshas - dir. by Bikram Ghosh

Based on Yevgeny Schwarz’s 1943 play 'The Dragon', Rakshas was a fairy tale populated by strange creatures and colourful personalities. It brought together fantasy, comedy, romance and satire to tell a story of people who were trying to decide what their freedom is worth.

27 April 2019

A wandering warrior arrived at a strange little town that has been under the monstrous rule of a Rakshas for hundreds of years. When the self-proclaimed hero, Veera, took it upon herself to free the townspeople by killing the monster, they hated the idea and ridicule her instead. With the odds stacked against her, the young hero prepared for a fantastic battle. Along the way, she found trustworthy friends, magical weapons and love - exactly what she expected to find on a hero's journey - but was it enough to save the day?
