Raa Raja story is readied by B. Shiva Prasad who himself bankrolled the film. He came up with a daring decision to showcase something that is unattempted earlier on the big screen.

Films of this genre find its audiences in OTT very. The story is ok and the screenplay is decent. It is an impressive direction which gave the film a different experience 

Had the director taken more care in writing  and added more layers, he would have created more impact. He dealt with only one point from the first half to the second half. He should have concentrated more about the actions of husband and wife in different ways. He did justice as a director but could have been better as a writer. An intense script work would have added more value and power to the narration though few hilarious scenes worked out well.

The background music tuned by Sekhar Chandra elevated the scenes to the next level. It gave never-before-seen experience to the viewers on the big screen. He elevated the spine chilling elements to give a unique experience. The song during the climax is good and shot well.  Rahul Shrivastav's cinematography highlighted the eerie visuals to the maximum to scare the viewers. He used the camera angles and color to the good effect to create maximum impact. Uppu Maruthi's editing is decent and could have been even crispier. Production values are of high standard
