RRR movie review

The Indian action epic "RRR" has made a one-night-only return to US theaters on June 1st following its initial theatrical release. Although director S.S. Rajamouli has consistently been successful at the box office, his latest work is his first breakthrough in Western audiences due to its anti-colonial theme and maximalist action choreography. "RRR" is a buddy drama about two real-life freedom fighters, Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju. Rajamouli has developed his brand of Nationalistic self-mythologizing with help from recurring collaborators like Vijayendra Prasad and both co-leads, who starred in Rajamouli's "Yamadonga" and "Magadheera". The movie is set in and around Delhi in 1920, with Malli, an innocent pre-teen, being kidnapped by the cartoonishly evil British Governor Scott and his sadistic wife Cathy. Raju, a peerless Colonial police officer, befriends Bheem, but they are at cross-purposes: Bheem wants to rescue Maali, while Raju wants to catch the unknown "tribal" that Scott's lackey fears. Rajamouli's love for Cecil B. DeMille-style melodrama is evident throughout the movie, which is a fitting breakthrough for Rajamouli. "RRR" embodies Bheem as an inspiring symbol of quasi-traditional, boundary-trampling patriotism, incorporating potentially alienating elements like cheap-seats love of grisly violence and brash sloganeering into propulsive, inventive, and visually assured fight scenes and dance numbers. Rajamouli works with and uses his actors as part of his shock-and-awe style of melodrama, as Rama Rao is ideally cast as the naively sweet-natured Bheem, and Charan's steely-eyed performance is strong enough to be credibly superhuman. Rajamouli repeats his preference for one nation under populist ubermenschen, where both Bheem and Raju are extraordinary men because they are aspirational expressions of the people's will.

ous technical wizardry” that makes “RRR” a singular spectacle.

Ultimately, “RRR” is an adrenaline-fueled ride that delivers on its promise of maximalist action and spectacle. It’s a quintessential Rajamouli film that showcases his unique brand of storytelling, and his ability to push the boundaries of Indian cinema. Despite its flaws and limitations, “RRR” is an ambitious and entertaining epic that deserves to be seen on the big screen.

However, the film is not without its flaws. The lack of historical context may be intentional, but it also feels like a missed opportunity to ground the story in a more tangible reality. Additionally, the portrayal of the British characters as cartoonishly evil may be seen as a simplistic and one-dimensional depiction.

Overall, “RRR” is an ambitious and visually stunning film that showcases Rajamouli’s talent for creating epic action sequences and melodramatic storytelling. While it may not be a perfect film, it is a must-see for fans of Indian cinema and anyone looking for an exciting and emotional cinematic experience.

SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus 'RRR' has crossed the Rs 1,100-crore collection mark at the worldwide box office in 28 days. With this feat, the movie is fast approaching the Rs 1,500-crore business worldwide.

The Jr NTR and Ram Charan-starrer earned Rs 1000 crore in just 17 days, becoming the third highest-grossing Indian films of all time. On March 25, it opened worldwide on around 8000 screens and collected around Rs 233 crore worldwide on its opening day. The Telugu version bags a total of Rs 600 crore in four weeks of its release. The film has already shattered numerous records at the box office with pre-sales, and the promotional activities surrounding the film has just added to the excitement levels of the fans. If it continues to outperform, RRR could soon surpass Baahubali 2 by a big margin in the next few weeks.
