RRR - The Best Movie You've Never Seen

British: “This film is making our past look violent and evil” Germans: “First time?”

Never in a thousand years would i have imagined Critical drinker watching RRR

You gotta admire a movie where one of the heroes kills a bad guy by throwing a fucking LEOPARD at him. 😁

One of my favorite scenes in the movie, which nobody has mentioned in any review, is when a random guy (not even a supporting character) trying to flee from the British soldiers with a little girl in his arms. He gets shot, and then the first thing he does is toss the girl to another guy who then runs away, while the first guy falls down and dies. I can't express how refreshing it was to see a portrayal of men signifying their ability to sacrifice their life for a little child. After getting sick and tired of Marvel, Disney, and Star wars movies where the little girl would probably build an iron man suit to escape that situation because 'we don't need no man', that scene really stuck with me.

A proper masculine & bromance story that Hollywood are incapable of making these days. Loved how Bheem represented water and Raju represented fire. The cinematography and soundtrack were top notch too.

That Movie is a hell of a ride. And as a German it was refreshing to see the British being depicted the same way the germans always are depicted in every american or english movie. ;D

My favorite scene in this film was that bonkers riot set-piece with Ram Charan fighting around 1000 extras. Like, literally a thousand extras!

I think the friendship between Bheem and the young English woman was inserted to point out that although the British are painted as cruel, there were kind Brits and the Indian population responded to their kindness favorably and without spite or a desire for revenge.

I like how the dance battle scene had more weight, personality and fun than what most of marvel phase 4 gave us.

Indian movies, as over-the-top as they can be, are full of hidden gems like this one. They have more heart in them than almost anything Hollywood has produced for the past five years

As a gay man it frustrates me to no end that Hollywood won’t let men just BE FRIENDS! I loved this movie.

My friend's grandma is in her mid 80's and this is the first Bollywood movie she's ever seen. She's been watching nothing but Bollywood movies on Netflix for the past month, she's obsessed with them now.

Doesn't matter the culture; a good story is always going to be a good story. Too bad Hollywood has forgotten this.

I watched this one with my 13 year old Grandson. We had an absolute blast. We started the movie by accident when we clicked the wrong title on Netflix... And were hooked. It's awesome, my inebriated reviewer!!

Tollywood: two men can be really close and good friends Hollywood: NOOOO they need to be gay or your homophobic😭😭😭

My Brother has been hanging out with a bunch of indian students in college, one day he came to me and said "I got a movie you're gonna love." It was Pushpa part 1, holy shit was a great time. It's not as crazy as RRR but it's up there. I would recommend it if you liked RRR. My brother showed me RRR right after Pushpa, spent the whole day watching those two movies. Can't wait for Pushpa Part 2

"It’s born from a very different culture with a different way of expressing itself and your enjoyment is going to depend on how open minded you’re willing to be with international cinema." Fuckin spot on, sir.

"Quality stories really are universal," Couldn't agree more. "They can transcend time, cultural and even language barriers". Thanks

I feel like audiences in India still see filmmaking as it was during it’s Golden Age, or more specifically treat it like a grand opera or theater play. The action, grand set pieces, musical numbers, and overall large scale of the film that mixes so many genres reminds me a lot of the movies that would be shown on 70mm panorama like Ben Hur, Sound Of Music, Singin’ in the rain, or West Side Story. RRR also happens to tell a story about brotherhood, friendship, love, and what it means to have all of that and protect it while also showcasing the love that the filmmakers have for their country, culture, religion, and history. Hell the film even ends with a grand music number that replaces the main ending credits that has the director, writer, and main stars dance behind a giant set with backup dancers and some of India’s biggest historic figures looming above. Which again goes back to the idea of this basically being an opera on screen with the last set piece serving as a final bow to us, the audience.

The only problem with RRR was that it was ONLY 3 hours long. I wanted more.
