Pure craziness with lots of eye candy
I never thought going into the movies with my family that very first week this came out that it would become a huge hit internationally--or that it would win a fricking Oscar. Crazy. But I'm honestly glad that this movie was the one chosen to represent our movies and an industry that has such a wide array of talent.
You have to suspend belief a lot with these types of movies but that's really what entertainment is. And sure, the CGI is cringe, but India really doesn't have the top tier CGI technology that America has and they sure as heck don't invest a lot of money into it because it's not considered the most important aspect of Indian cinema. Putting questionable CGI aside, I still loved every second of the crazy fight scenes. They were so over the top (even by my standards) that it was truly a fun watch. The background music for each titular character (Ram's was my favourite) always ALWAYS hyped me up. I could literally feel my blood pumping in my veins during his intro when he fought off literally hundreds of men. That one scene where everyone started piling on top of him and we were inside with him, hearing his heavy breathing and feeling the claustrophobia was a masterpiece. Usually the hero gets up and then they just fly off but we were shown every fight decision Ram chose to make and breaking that scene down little by little made it more easier for the audience to believe.
This is a movie that Hollywood would and could never recreate. A movie where two men love each other like brothers and is unapologetic for it with amazing action sequences that have you literally squealing in your seat. I'm used to 3 hour movies and with some movies you can reaaaally feel it but with this? It was all over too soon.
Ram Charan never disappoints. He's eye candy but dang, can the man act AND dance. It deserved that award for the song but honestly, it deserved the best foreign film award as well. - NRJ0rdan - 7 March 2024
One of the best movies ever made
From the moment I sat down to write about this cinematic masterpiece, I was overwhelmed by the myriad emotions it stirred within me. This film is a remarkable exploration of the human condition, masterfully depicting the cruelty and complexity that define us. Its aesthetic execution is flawless, striking a perfect balance that captivates the viewer's senses and emotions.
The narrative seamlessly weaves laughter, tears, and awe, offering a refreshingly innovative perspective on historical storytelling.
The performances are nothing short of spectacular, with actors delivering authenticity even in moments of levity. Each scene, whether poignant or light-hearted, is crafted with precision, ensuring that the humor enhances rather than detracts from the film's depth. The musical numbers and choreography are executed with such grace and relevance that they enrich the storyline, appearing exactly when needed to elevate the narrative.
I extend my deepest gratitude to everyone involved in the creation of this film. It's a rare gem that deserves widespread acclaim and recognition. As a fervent admirer of cinema, it has been some time since a film has touched me so profoundly.
Despite the big cast, the movie navigates its multitude of characters with ease, avoiding any sense of overcrowding, preachiness, or gratuitous violence. It's a testament to the skillful storytelling and direction that the film maintains its coherent and impactful message throughout.
Do yourself a favor and watch this. - johnspringer-95440 - 14 December 2023
Fun, Excessive and Highly Overrated
It's the revisionist history of pan-Indian nationalism vs. The British Raj in this overstuffed action epic. Some of the action is cool and the two leads have charisma to burn. But with a runtime over 3 hours the endless spectacle, the obvious character reversals and the goofy musical interludes become excessive.
The story is uplifting. (At least it is if you can accept the British as disposable villains on par with Hollywood's typical depiction of certain 1930s-1940s blackshirted Germans. Maybe it's not a coincidence that Alison Doody of Dr. Elsa Schneider fame plays the evil British matriarch here.) The plot is basic and everyone outside the superpowered leads is a one-note caricature. It's ultimately tantamount to The Fast&Furious Win The American Revolution filtered through a stereotypically Bollywood lens.
It clearly wasn't made to meet Western cinematic expectations and that's great; but I'm puzzled by the Western critical love it's gotten. I suspect it has less to do with the movie's objective merit and more to do with the soft snobbery of low expectations - and that praising a movie with anti-colonialist, borderline radical messaging is a lazy way for the entertainment media to signal its progressive bona fides. - mhgreco-690-536298 - 8 January 2023
Indescribably spectacular
RRR is part super hero epic, part musical, part fable, and part art project. In its buildup it sometimes was a bit confusing but by the big reveal you will be invested in the characters and hooked on their mission. Each scene is a work of art. From the opening credits I was riveted by the color, the speed, and the audacity of the special effects. Slow motion never looked so good. The main characters are larger than life, as bullet proof as Superman, and never stop moving. Bad guys are dispatched in greater numbers than any John Wick movie but in more ways than you can imagine. John Wick may have killed three bad guys with a pencil but the two heroes in RRR blew up a 100,000 sq. Ft. Building with a motor cycle and an arrow. Beautifully filmed, the movie builds to a glorious gut wrenching ending battle that would make any American blockbuster hide their head in shame. Its 3 hour and 5 minute length allows the plot to unfold slowly and deliberately but it never dragged. This Indian drama is an artistic masterpiece. So suspend your grasp on reality for a few hours and drink in this special movie. - praptialam - 1 January 2023
TYPICAL MASALA MOVIE
I watch films from all around the world in all genres. However, I didn't intend to watch this film. Because South Indian commercial films, while entertaining, are not really my cup of tea. But it was the reviews for this movie that really got my attention. Literally, they claim that this is an Oscar contender. I mean, I get that these movies are novel to them. They were therefore fascinated by it. But I thought it was over the top and foolish. I mean, while watching that, I actually laughed a lot. In this movie, there is no logic. Observing this will leave scientists completely perplexed. In this film, everything they have previously taught is a lie.
Well, there are some positive aspects to this film. The production quality is incredible. Great performances are made. The stunning cinematography and excellent background music are the icing on the cake. Overall, though, this film is little more than the usual masala flick that we have been seeing for years. Give us something unique, like Sita Ramam, Sir, Tumbbbad, Aamis, etc., dear India. Instead of watching this cheesy, melodramatic work of so-called art, you may watch one of these movies. - iain-13420 - 26 December 2022
A masterpiece
This amazing movie is an absolute masterpiece in film making. The special effects are incredible but they never detract from the compelling storyline.
The acting is astonishing and it's one of the very few films I would actually watch again and again. The music and choreography are phenomenal too.
The two main characters strength and agility is so impressive and their skill in portraying a huge range of emotions just blew me away. Each scene must have taken ages to produce. I'm running out of superlatives here as this movie is beyond doubt the best I've seen in a long time. I'll be thinking about it and reliving it for a long time to come. - brawlmedia - 6 December 2022
This is beyond cruel
I would have given this movie a 3 star ratings but since most reviews here are fake, i will give 1. If there was an option for zero, i would have given that.
Coming to the movie, the protagonist arrests a protester by fighting 1000 people. This is done to show power of protagonist. Other protagonist can control animals.
After 2 weeks and barely getting food, how can one suddenly do exercise and be so strong?
If one does exercise without eating food, he wil develop muscle wasting and ketone bodies will be formed. I don't know how a person maintains same muscle after not eating for 2 weeks. If they have any tricks, i want to know it.
The most depressing part is villains are portrayed as complete villains. There is no perspective from their side. This is like a 19th century movie where whatever protagonist does is right, and villains are always wrong.
If 2 people can destroy a entire British battalion and can defeat 1000 protesters, then why didn't we get independence in 1912. Maybe the movie has a 2nd part where they give independence to us.
Also this movie is categorised under historical drama, then why does protagonists have strength higher than most superheroes.
I don't know why they have to ruin our image by sending bad movies worldwide, please if you have any vested interest, do in local market, don't insult us by sending such illogical movies. - lokeshbangar-51474 - 5 November 2022
JrNtr done killer acting in This
NTR intervel sence 🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯 is a fabulous whole of the movie We, Indians, never really complain about dance. We are born with dancing right from the time we come out of our mother's womb. Dancing is embedded in our flesh and blood. So you won't often find us complaining about it," Jr NTR said.
He added, "In order to gain interest in dance, you should learn to love dance first. We have some really greatest dancers and choreographers in the Telugu film industry.
Actor Jr. NTR aka Tarak is basking in the phenomenal response for his latest release RRR, which marks his fourth collaboration with filmmaker SS Rajamouli. The period drama, which also stars Ram Charan, has grossed over 500 crore at the worldwide box-office in its opening weekend. Tarak has said everything he has done so far in his career prepared him for RRR. - lakshmisivasankar - 19 October 2022
Bahubali is better!
Unrealistic, unrelatable and uninteresting for me. You have to suspend your brain to really appreciate this movie. The actors have done a good job with the script they have. Too many clichés and action scenes that are totally unrealistic. We have already seen too many supermen movies and I didn't see anything new in this movie. I am not that impressed with the macho supermen characters who can beat all the odds including a pouncing tiger. Music was not attractive either.
CGI and cinematography was really impressive.
Overall surprisingly boring movie.
Rajamouli sir has given a much better offering in Bahubali. RRR pales in comparison to Bahubali.
