RRR is a movie you should be talking about.
This week, I joined many in watching the movie RRR on Netflix. It’s a three-hour action musical historical epic. Some may confuse it for being a Bollywood movie, but you would be wrong. (Don’t worry, I was wrong about it before I watched it, too.) The brainchild of Indian filmmaker SS Rajamouli, this movie is one of the most astounding feats of cinema I have ever seen. It’s a movie I wish I saw in theaters, but that I urge you to watch now that it’s readily available all over.
Made on a budget of $72 million, RRR is the most expensive Indian film at the time of its release. It’s an original blockbuster that is about to cross $100 million at the worldwide box office. Wikipedia reports it’s closer to $150 million. It tells the story of two legendary revolutionaries and their journey away from home before they started fighting for their country in the 1920s. While those revolutionaries were real people, they never met in real life, and the adventure they go on is completely fake.
