Yes, you should immediately file an FIR, if you are getting constant threats. You can consider lodging an FIR with the police station that falls within your area. Make sure you have all the details of the calls and the text messages received.

In some cases, the police sorts out the matter without much legality, as they would most likely call the number you are being harassed from and threaten them with severe consequences if they do not stop. However, if that fails they would start a general diary to proceed with investigation.
 
If the police do not entertain your complaint, consult a criminal lawyer to file a complaint before a magistrate's court.
