Tulasi Ram Osho
Tulasi Ram Osho, a name that floats through Telugu cinema with a sort of mysterious edge, has left his mark with films like Dhakshina (2024), Mantra (2007), and Mangala (2011). If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the world of psychological thrillers and supernatural dramas, you’ve probably stumbled across his work. There’s something about how Osho weaves suspense and eerie vibes into his movies—it’s not just jump scares or cheap tricks. Nah, he goes for that creeping unease that stays with you long after the credits roll. Mantra, for instance, basically became a cult classic overnight, thanks to its trippy storyline and haunting visuals. People still talk about that one.
Then there’s Mangala, where he took the whole horror-thriller thing and dialed it up, mixing in a bit of the supernatural and playing around with the concept of fate and karma. The storytelling isn’t straightforward; he likes to throw in twists that make you question what’s real and what’s just in the characters’ heads. Dhakshina, his more recent work, shows he’s not slowing down. That movie plays with darker themes, pushing boundaries both narratively and visually.
What stands out is his knack for creating atmosphere—seriously, you almost feel like you’re inside the movie, sweating along with the characters. Osho doesn’t just direct; he kind of pulls you into his own strange universe, where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Whether you love horror or just appreciate a filmmaker who keeps you guessing, his movies are worth a dive.
