Satya Eleswaram

Satya Eleswaram’s filmography is honestly a wild ride—just check out Raakshasa (2025) and Laggam (2024). Raakshasa basically dives headfirst into the world of urban legends, but it’s not your cookie-cutter supernatural thriller. Nope. The story is set in a city that’s always buzzing, with rumors swirling about a mysterious figure who’s more myth than man, but people keep vanishing in ways that’ll make your skin crawl. The cops? Totally stumped, obviously. They rope in this jaded ex-detective who’s got more baggage than an airport carousel. He’s not buying the whole “supernatural” angle, but as he digs deeper, reality starts to blur—like, is he chasing a murderer, or is something seriously twisted lurking in the shadows? The film gets under your skin, mixing gritty realism with just enough weirdness to make you question what’s real and what’s just in your head. Now, Laggam is a whole different beast. It’s rooted in tradition but takes a giant leap into the chaos of modern relationships. The story revolves around an arranged marriage that’s definitely not going according to plan—think family drama, awkward encounters, and a couple at the center who are just trying to figure out if they’re meant for each other or just stuck in the same crazy boat. There’s plenty of humor, some sharp jabs at social norms, and just enough heart to make you care. Satya Eleswaram doesn’t play it safe—both films throw you off balance, blend genres, and leave you with questions that stick around way after the credits roll.
