RRR
Academy Award × 1
A fictional history of two legendary revolutionaries' journey away from home before they began fighting for their country in the 1920s.
What critics thought
RRR arrives as a deliriously maximalist spectacle that swept up Indian and Western critics alike, with Rajamouli's direction, the chemistry between Ram Charan and Jr NTR, and the 'Naatu Naatu' sequence drawing particular enthusiasm. A handful of dissenters argued the film's relentless pace leaves its characters emotionally hollow, and some noted the British antagonists read as cartoonish and the female roles as near-nonexistent — but these were minority complaints against a tide of acclaim that positioned the film as a genuine rebuke to Hollywood blockbuster formula.
“Rajamouli shoots the film's action with hallucinogenic fervor, supercharging scenes with a shimmering brand of extended slow-motion and C.G.I. that feels less 'generated' than unleashed.”
Nicolas Rapold·The New York Times
“The film rings hollow because it never pauses for breath and does not grant its two male protagonists anything akin to recognizable human qualities although they do constantly harp on love and longing”
Saibal Chatterjee·NDTV
“A copious amount of blood, beating, crying, saving, sacrificing, nationalism fills up its staggering three hours running time. Emotions run sky high, but you feel nothing”
Sukanya Verma·Rediff
“Parts of RRR seem Ridiculous and Reductive it's also absolutely Ravishing and for that it deserves to be seen and enjoyed”
Stutee Ghosh·The Quint
“RRR serves as a reminder of how much modern action usually follows a formula. If wonder is to be consistently found on the big screen, then Hollywood has plenty of new lessons to learn from its best competitor”
