RRR is a fictional story set in the 1920s pre-independent era and is based on the lives of two real heroes and well-known revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju ( Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem ( Jr NTR). The film has opened strongly in other overseas territories as well. From its premiere shows alone, RRR became the first Indian film to breach the $3 million club.

A period film that runs out of steam despite Rajamouli's efforts (unknown)

In fact, this idea—of grand scope and scale—is at the heart of RRR, even as two freedom fighters (Komaram Bheem and Rama Raju) are reimagined as larger-than- ...

As a side-note, it’s hard not to be slightly alarmed at all the romanticisation of violence around the freedom struggle, especially given the part ahimsa played in our history. Later, he even admits to his simplicity and is ashamed of it, and goes on to express a type of devotion for Ram. That’s why ‘Bhaiya’ turns to ‘Anna’. That’s why in one scene, he even invokes Lanka and says that he will reunite Ram and Sita even if the whole place had to be burned down. If you blink a bit, you may miss Shriya Saran. As for Alia Bhatt, she is another docile woman, desperately pining for the return of her beloved—the sort to stand alone and stare into the horizon, waiting for her dream warrior to return. Yes, Rajamouli thinks up increasingly clever ways to spice up action (arrows being shot with attached grenades, for instance), but it gets harder and harder not to notice that while your senses are tingling with repetitive pleasures, your soul is left untouched and craves for more.. Tell him that the scene is of a man climbing a tree, and he will ensure that you are thrilled by the visual of an extraordinary man climbing an extraordinary tree in an extraordinary circumstance. The compassionate British damsel™ that Bheem falls in love with, is the classic naïve beauty we have seen time and time again—the sort of woman who would be oblivious to events around her, even as she invites hapless victims into her palace and seeks quick forgiveness when they get humiliated or threatened with death. The writing of this film is by Vijayendra Prasad, who we know by now as a lover of mythology. Ram’s flashback feels quick and uninventive, and without it, the film relies largely on the volatile Bheem-Ram friendship, which, too, gets largely defined by unsurprising montages. Weapon acquisition, on the other hand, isn’t exactly the most emotional idea out there, and so, he looks to overcome it with a flashback that is unfortunately hurried and cursory. Watch him sink the thorny edges of his whip into Bheem’s body, by communicating just the right balance of duty and emotion in his eyes. This acts as a catalyst for his wonderful imagination with which he thinks up some memorable set-pieces, built on the idea of fire and water. These portions stand as examples of this filmmaker’s eye for grand set-pieces and his ability to execute what must surely seem like daunting ideas on paper.

SS Rajamouli delivers an epic mythological action superhero bromance (unknown)

RRR movie review: The film casts not just one super-star, but two of them – Jr NTR and Ram Charan. The biggest super-star among them all is SS Rajamouli and ...

The secret of making us believe is the filmmaker’s complete conviction, and Rajamouli is a dab hand at it: at one delirious point, Ram and Akhtar clasp hands across a burning bridge, with a banner running across the screen: India, 1920. RRR also proves that while the overarching iconography of his films is Hindu, just like in ‘Baahubali’, it is entirely possible to use it without demonising, or othering minorities, even giving the latter a brief look-see in the proceedings. That, for Indian filmmakers and viewers, there will never be a greater, more durable fount of stories than the Ramayan and the Mahabharat. That, if you want to be really safe, you cast not just one super-star, but two of them.

10 midnight shows confirmed in Bengaluru (unknown)

SS Rajamouli's latest film, RRR, which is scheduled for release this Friday, stars Ram Charan and NTR in lead roles. Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn are also in ...

Jayant said the farmers of Haryana are brave and they know how to fight for their rights. Distributors have since considered the demand of their fans in Karnataka and convinced theatre owners to play the Kannada version. Standing wheat crop spread over 200 acres was reduced to ashes in a fire in Karnal's Kachhwa village on Sunday. Farmers said that the crop and fodder that was gutted was worth ₹1 crore. Disheartened fans then took to Twitter, trending #BoycottRRRinKarnataka, and saying that the movie not being released in the Kannada language in Karnataka is a great insult for Kannadigas. Delhi Police arrested two men for allegedly selling adulterated ghee and risking the health of people, police said on Sunday, adding that they recovered over 1,200 litres of adulterated ghee of different brands from the suspects. As of now, the earliest available show for RRR in Bengaluru is at 4 a.m., while Hyderabad gets it at 6.15 a.m..

The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution (unknown)

Baahubali series director S.S. Rajamouli returns with another three-hour action epic, this time inventing a crowd-rousing history where real-life Indian ...

The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of John Woo’s 1980s movies, until it transforms into a superhero team-up. Raju has a sweetheart back home — his childhood friend Sita (Alia Bhatt), to whom he pledged eternal loyalty before leaving his village to join the Indian Imperial Police. So he acts as Bheem’s wingman, helping Bheem charm sympathetic Englishwoman Jenny (Olivia Morris) with his aw-shucks attitude and impressive dance skills. Rajamouli is skilled at balancing the film’s many elements, so “overstimulated” isn’t quite the word for how walking out of RRR feels. Jr NTR (the common abbreviation for N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) and Ram Charan, both Telugu superstars in their own right, show off those skills in the rousing “ Naatu Naatu,” RRR’s only real musical production number. [Ed. note: We recommend viewers check local listings or contact the theater to make sure you’re catching the version of RRR you want to see. Bheem trips and knocks a silver tray out of a waiter’s hand at a garden party? This last point makes its way into RRR, as part of a storyline that reframes Raju as a supercop on a mission to take down the British power structure from within. Picture Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere joining the MCU, with Franklin harnessing the power of electricity, and Revere the swiftness of the wind. They’re two strangers who agree with a nod to embark on a dangerous impromptu rescue mission to save a little boy trapped by a flaming train accident on a Delhi river. There’s a similar moment in RRR (“Rise Roar Revolt”), S.S. Rajamouli’s action-drama hybrid about the adventures of two Indian revolutionaries who have divergent approaches to resisting British occupation in 1920s Delhi. The difference is, in RRR, it’s just one of half a dozen scenes of its kind. RRR explains gaps in both men’s histories by proposing that they became friends after they each made their way to Delhi in the early 1920s — Raju as an undercover imperial cop, Bheem on a rescue mission to save a village girl kidnapped by a colonial governor. Raju, meanwhile, led guerrilla attacks on imperial police stations, seizing British guns and ammunition to level the playing field between colonizer and colonized.

‘RRR’ Has Blowout U.S. Opening For Indian Film, Eyes $12M-$15M Weekend (unknown)

The highly anticipated and Covid-delayed release of Indian action film RRR opened with a bang as distributor Sarigami Cinemas said it has grossed $4.5 ...

It’s said to be one of the biggest-budget Indian films ever. The story is set in 1920s New Delhi amid the Indian freedom movement. As Deadline reported last month, the genre has helped fill a void at the box office this winter and spring, stepping into multiplexes amid a dearth of new releases and playing on a handful of screens at a time in at least three languages including Hindi, Telegu and Tamil. (They’re the only foreign films that don’t play arthouses.) Telugu-Hindi period romantic drama Radhe Shyam had a strong opening on March 11 on 750 screens, already a much wider-than-average release for an Indian film (though below RRR‘s) and in fact the widest of that weekend. The film was supposed to come out in early January and $2 million in presale tickets had to be returned to customers when released was delayed due to Omicron, said Sarigami. It had originally been set to premiere in 2020, then in 2021. The highly anticipated and Covid-delayed release of Indian action film RRR opened with a bang as distributor Sarigami Cinemas said it has grossed $4.5 million including late-night and early-morning shows and anticipated a $12 million-$15 million weekend. This is director-screenwriter Ramajouli beating his own record, namely the 2017 epic action adventure Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. That film, a sibling rivalry set in medieval India and made in Telegu and Tamil, was a follow-up to Baahubali: The Beginning. Ramajouli’s large fan base is turning out for RRR.
