Is RRR the best movie of 2022? Chase Zac and Jesse break down dance scenes, themes and tollywood for Americans who have or are hesitant to watch RRR which could very well be the best movie on Netflix and of 2022.
A correction here....'"Tollywood" is not the 'action' genre of Indian cinema, it refers to region where is the movie is from. Geographically speaking Southern India consists of 5 different states therefore they speak five different languages. They are Kerala (Language: Malayalam) Tamil Nadu (Language: Tamil) Karnataka (Language: Kannada) Andhra Pradhesh and Telangana (Language: Telugu). Each state has its own movie industry. There are Malayalam movies, Tamil movies, Kannada Movies along with Telugu movies and Hindi (Bollywood movies)
We didn't get all the info we should have. We apologize, this is our first foray into Indian cinema and we hope to become more fluent. Thank you so much for sharing all the different kinds.
@@reelsteakpodcast8861 Do watch the Baahubali movie series it consists of 2 films Baahubali :The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion (2015 -2017) by the same director.
Sir, slumdog millionaire is a British film directed by Danny Boyle not bollywood or Indian film. It's a good story about a guy from slums winning a million dollar competition. Imagine a homeless from America winning a competition and becoming a millionaire, it's great story but doesn't mean USA is full of homeless people.
We understand that Slumdog doesn't at all represent India. If that's how it came across that wasn't our intention. We just wanted to use it as reference for probably the only other bollywood inspired film that American's would have seen. but thanks for making sure we knew!
10:02 American youtubers (not just you) keep saying this movie does "propaganda" - how? why? Perhaps you are projecting. They were fighting the colonizers, not invading Vietnam.
haha , i know as indians that could be confusing , generally outside india , there is this fashion of mindless left libral urban extremism that goes on and so they have to #HateAnythingHinduhright), hence even if they like the movie they have put a negative connotation to anything safron and hindu god and nationalism with flag are all dismissively put as propaganda ! its not meant for indian audience but rather for them to be safe n loyal to their left masters
Propoganda may not be the correct phrase but it is definitely a "idealized or stylized" version of real people telling a fictional story. It celebrates India and these heroes! There is nothing wrong with that. Every Michael bay movie "idealizes" America and what is "stands" for.
@@reelsteakpodcast8861 Is it wrong to idealize freedom fighters who shed blood for you country so that we could be free from our colonisers who raped, tortured and looted from us? The movie's action scenes are clearly exaggerated bc the heroes are almost mythical in some sort of way for Indians. But it's not 'propaganda'.
1 : The bridge train scene 36:22 where bheem and ram saves that boy , they exchange boy and flag which aslo means they exchange their goals. (Boy represents mali , flag represents country) 2 : the ending scene where bheem pickup bike, he does it so because , in 1920 bike were made very light weight as it was war Era and light weight bike was easy to carry in war . ❤️🇮🇳 Do watch RRR with your whole family snd friends enjoy 🙌
bro but even if you kick a cycle with at speed of imagin 60 then also you can't flip it It's a movie just enjoy in Marvel movies superheroes does incredible things Thus also in rrr they have superpower
Mean???? I really want you to study a bit about jallianwala bagh. If anything, British were portrayed less inhumane. Ofcourse, not every british was the same, but you can never comprehend what the British raj had done in India even in the slightest from this movie
We know that this movie is not an accurate portrayal of Indian history, it is first a foremost entertainment. But thank you for giving us a little grace as we learn more about Indian history and cinema.
@@reelsteakpodcast8861 this story is real bro...... Based on facts that what they have done to our ancestors.......they have stolen 45 trillion dollars from us...... Now u can imagine what they must have done to our country....... The story is about freedom fighters of ur country
@@reelsteakpodcast8861 when British left india, the literacy rate was 17% and life expectancy was 36 year's ( so u can see how bad they made things here)
Bollywood=Hindi language Tollywood=Telugu language Kollywood=Tamil language Mollywood=Malayalam language People used to associate Bollywood with Indian cinema because historically Hindi language movies is the largest in India in terms of budget and box office. But the past few years Telugu cinema have overtook Hindi cinema and is now the face of top grossing Indian movies.
Maali is not Bheem's real sister.. in India we call everyone of the same age as brother or sister If they are our parents age, it's uncle or aunty. Calling someone by their name also happens with same age people, but never with someone older..
The fact that nothing happens between bheem and jenny is the director doesn’t belive that mixing of emotions gonna work , while there is an intese drama going with all the revolt , potraying opposite emotions gonna kill the main essence of the film.
Ss rajamouli is big fan of Mel Gibson movies and his favourite movies are Ben Hur and Passion of the Christ. It becomes very much evident in this movie.
As per Variety Magazine 2023 Oscar Nominations Prediction list , They Have mentioned RRR can be nominated in various categories apart from best international feature :- 1. Best Actor - N.T.RamaRao Jr 2. Best Picture - DVV Danaya 3. Best Director - S.S.Rajamouli 4. Best Orginal Screenplay - S.S.Rajamouli Hope it gets nominated in best actor, best director, picture, VFX , screenplay, cinematography and sound categories
Inan Film Industry doesn't need recognition from the American film Industry. Most people don't even care about getting Oscar anymore. Our films are already getting the deserved acclaim n recognition by the entire world thanks to Streaming services
Bollywood and tollywood and kollywood are not genres. They are full blown film industries . They all produce all genre movies. Rrr is what we call a Masala genre . It is fair mix of all genres .
🙂Hey Malli was not the sister of Bhima, in India people of the same age usually call each other brotherly, Bhima and Malli used to come from the same tribe and Bhima is the young bodyguard of that tribe, so all the children became sisters and brothers for him. India has mainly 20 film industries of their own states which are built on language and little cultural diversity, Tollywood has emerged on the world stage after Bollywood in the last five years.
@@reelsteakpodcast8861 Bollywood,tollywood etc are used by Indians as it project pride in the Industry and promote competition among different Industry.But we prefer foreigners call it Indian movie.
More of a general statement but since they mentioned the article by the Cambridge professor…The article by Robert Tombs is a colonial revisionist take from someone who probably has a massive white mans burden complex.A few of his claims… 1)At one point he actually has the audacity to propose that the movie might be considered racist because there were very few real British officers in India at any given time and they were a minority.And in any case the killing was done by lower ranked locals in the forces. 2)A weird statement about how we cannot make movies anymore about Hindu politicians burning widows alive,because that would be considered racist.Yes his vitriol was that specific to the religion and government. 3)‘ In 1920 India was mostly run by Indians under a very distant supervision of the British’. 4) ‘The most negative effects is going to be in India’ because they are getting a false historical narrative.I mean what was this guy smoking?Of course since they think they are above scrutiny backing this with facts is never necessary. For all the things that RRR got ‘wrong’ about the British in India according to him,he still believes their presence was justified along with the execution of their rule which was brutal and criminal and rather toned down in the movie.(He should be glad Indians are not a vindictive people:))And that is the real problem with such racist people with a superiority complex.They are still colonial masters in their mind and will try to justify centuries of looting,pillaging and religious hatred by pointing out something they left behind ( language and trains are their favorite)and hence ‘ gave’ to the natives to civilize them;incidental things that enabled this exploitation ,things that no one wanted and no one asked for. So there is no reasonable side to colonialism as it really happened.And as this guy proves is a state of mind
Well said 👏👏👏 Foreigners need to watch some Sashi Tharoor videos at least before thinking some colonial sympathiser and royalist is painting a real picture. I mean those people aren't even allowed to protest against the fascist monarchy or they're arrested. It's happening in 2022 !!!! Thank the lords we are free from their clutches and colonial mindset.
Thanks for the break down of the article. We appreciate learning even more about Indian Cinema and their history. This was well thought out and explained thank you for taking the time to help us learn. It is quite crazy what he wrote in that article.
Overall great review. Thanks for your open mindedness about this new-to-you cinema! You're on point about most of the things... howerver RRR is NOT an Indian PROPAGANDA film as you mention. It's based on the real struggle of the Indian people for their freedom and the extreme cruelty they endured at the hands of the colonizers. What is shown here in terms of the brutal colonial attitude and exteremely low value of life of the people they ruled, may seem over the top to many westerners but its not an ounce more than it really was! It was oftentimes much worse!!!
We have regretted using the word propaganda. We know that the British did commit atrocities. We should have used the phrase stylized narrative, as there are fictional elements just like we have in our musical Hamilton based on historical events that really did happen. Thank you for the feedback, and we will make sure to be more careful of our language in the future! We are excited to see more Indian cinema!
@@sangeetabahadur4536 You have to say white people from Britian. Because when you say white people than there are also American white people who got freedom from British also. They have also been the victim of britishers.
The purpose of the rom Com with Jenny was that Bheem was trying to get to the house so he can be sure thatMalli is there and how to rescue her, whenever they met, he always asked if he can see her house because he thought Malli could be there. In the introduction scene itself he said that she lloks kind hearted so she could help them find Malli. However a genuine interest in Jenny would have better, from my point of view it looked like he was interested in seeing the house and Ram thought that Bheem is interested and Bheem just went along with it.
Honestly not trying to be mean but many generalizations and incorrect beliefs with these guys. Guys holding hands in that part of the world is Arab world, not India. Tollywood is not a genre, it belongs to an area in India where people speak a language called Telugu. It is not a propaganda film. Would you say that it is propaganda if native Americans of North America make movies showing how their lands were stolen, their religion/culture was wiped out and they were forced to convert to different flavors of Christianity? I don’t think people use the word ‘propaganda’ correctly anymore.
I think you are correct about us not using the word propaganda correctly. We made an error which will happen occasional in these unedited talks. Ultimately it is a stylized fictional celebration of how amazing India is and what they did suffer. America has made many films about our injustice of the British including the whole musical of Hamilton and has created many movies exalting our pride in our country. This is not bad, but it is important to understand it is obviously biased to show things in a very specific light even though much of it may be true and much of it probably downplayed the atrocities this is a fictional film with historical influences that ultimately make sure that you leave feeling proud of your country.
14:50 im Indian, I hv never seen the white guy "Jake" in any film in India.. u can see from his IMDB too he never acted in an Indian film. Where do u guys get such weird facts!! a simple IMDB check can validate most things. BTW this movie isn't abt just being cool, there are plenty of deep metaphorical symbolism and mythology that wl easily go over the heads of most Western AUdiences... anyway It's very good to see u guys enjoy the movie even without getting all those symbolisms.
You are right, we didn't research enough about "Jake" actor. I had gotten that trivia from another source and didn't fact check it. We hope to learn more about some of the symolism and mythology as we continue to explore Indian cinema.
@@reelsteakpodcast8861 just do not watch Bollywood movies ... They are all agenda driven movies by empty headed directors who have no idea about Indian culture heritage and rich past.... Do watch Telugu industry rajamouli movies and Bengali film director satyajit ray... These are good directors and you will find Indian cinema reflecting true Indian history..
Tollywood is a Telugu language film industry. In India there are atleast 12 different movie language industries. 1. Hindi 2. Bengali 3. Odia 4. Telugu 5. Tamil 6. Kannada 7. Malayalam 8. Marathi 9. Gujarati 10. Punjabi 11. Bhojpuri 12. Assomiya
Such diversity of different film industry in just one country. America is just genres but pretty much just one thing. It is so interesting to learn more about Indian cinema
Celebrating the heroes who sacrificed their lives to bring freedom to a country and turning them into super heroes is not propaganda. Propaganda is, when you make fun of them and turn them into ordinary, dull, boring characters.
It is styled after a bollywood/indian movie and helps provide context to a group of viewers who would not have any other reference. But we appreciate you making the clarification!
Indians in the comment section, please stop using 'wood' for our Indian movies please. We are showcasing our cinema rooted in our culture to the whole world. We are not a copy of any other industry. Please refer to them as Telugu cinema, Hindi cinema, Malayalam cinema etc.
We know that this movie is not an accurate portrayal of Indian history, it is first a foremost entertainment. But thank you for giving us a little grace as we learn more about Indian history and cinema.
India's GDP was around 25% of world GDP before the British came to India. It was around 4% of the world's GDP when the British left after looting India.

*There is no swearing bad words in the movie because in India children also see such movies.* There wasn't even a kissing scene or any type of sexual joke or scene.
There's a better bromance in another Bollywood film 'Sholay'. It's another from India which is from 70s. It's type of a America's western movie. Its the most epic thing India has made.
He is right...Sholay Bromance is much more better than RRR...Script of Sholay is tight than RRR..If you make great Indian films list...Sholay will be in top 5, not RRR
Now watch kantara it's in theatres just released in end of September A masterpiece of this year based on real Demi god practices " bhoot kala" in parts of Karnataka , Southern India It has great performance Please watch it Asap in theatres
Over the Top Action, Bromance, Dance Number, Emotions, Background Score, Story - it has Everything! - it has "Everything from Everywhere All In One" 👏🙌👍👍😍 I'd suggest you to watch a movie "Tumbaad" It was mind blowing 🤯 Other suggestions I have on the list are from same director of RRR, Rajamouli's Bahubali 1 & 2. RRR is by far one of the benchmark movies in the history or Hollywood that I don't know if Hollywood will ever be able to top in up in a single movie!
"Tumbard' is one and only Greatest & Genuine Horror film from all time of Indian Cinema..It is not over the top movie. If you give 10 number out of 10 to RRR then you need to raise scale for Tumbard..because after watch Tumbard whether you decrease score of RRR or you will give 20 number out of 10 for Tumbard..which is critically acclaimed movie by Cannes n other Cinema experts from all over the world for world cinema..After 50 years RRR is not going to be remembered but Tumbard will !!
@@reelsteakpodcast8861 remember in the friendship montage song..there will be a scene with a steam engine train..where both actors jump in the when train passes between them..if you observe when they jump simultaneously..train passes between them releasing steam..it shows that when fire and water meet it will be steam..similar reference was there in the interval blog (when ram arrests Bheem)..that scene when blood droplet falls on the hand..you can see steam coming out of that droplet
Movie was made on around 69-72 million dollars compared to huge budget of Marvel movies .. So yeah CGI might be on the lower side, but this is very enjoyable and best experienced in theatre or huge tv with powerful speakers lol
Honestly we are just three guys who like to hang out. If the views come the views come and we won't be sad about it but if you look at the previous 3 episodes you'll see it isn't our top priority. But we definitely are wanting to encourage people to challenge their views and watch new and old cinema from different cultures and help celebrate what is special and unique about all of them.
dude this was just awesome podcast befitting to RRR. Even I missed many deep layers you unraveled and it was a treat listening to. You should check out Eega and Baahubali by same director!! 👍
Watch the hindi film gangs of wasseypur 1 and 2. Martin Scorsese loved it and wrote a letter to the director. Its the best gangster film u will ever see. Its structure is similar to goodfellas. 3 families. 3 generations but very Tarantino kind of film making and dialogues with humour . Must watch gangster film Also Watch haider. Hindi movie. Best modern hamlet adaptation . Based in Kashmir part of india which is a conflict area. Militant insurgents are a big thing there. Great backdrop for hamlet adaptation. Must watch indian film.
Propaganda may not be the correct phrase but it is definitely a "idealized or stylized" version of real people telling a fictional story. It celebrates India and these heroes! There is nothing wrong with that. Every Michael bay movie "idealizes" America and what is "stands" for.

We are learning more and more about the history of India from comments just like yours, so thank you for sharing!
The South Indian film industries have made some of the very best movies this year...... would love to recommend some KGF chapter 1&2 (Kannada movies..well lot of action and a decent story...The lead actor Yash is amazing...There are some over the top unnecessary stuff in there...but still amazing... highest grosser of the year in India) Ponniyin Selvan part 1(Tamil movie ....It's a Historical political drama based on a best seller novel about one of the greatest empires of ancient India....The screenplay is top notch with solid acting from the huge Star Cast...the third highest grosser of the year...a dream project of the Tamil Industry... Basically Indian Game of Thrones) Sita Ramam (Telugu movie...Idk it's a romantic drama ...based on the India-Pakistan relations...it might not be ur type ..but it's an extremely beautiful film) Kantara (Kannada movie....it was the biggest surprise of the year. It is set in a village and is based on the mythologies and culture of that are...it is a kind off horror thriller and a masterpiece all in all) Ponniyin Selvan 1 and Kantara are still running in theatres...but are set to release on Amazon prime soon and others are already streaming on Prime...Hope you find time to watch these amazing movies😊

Thanks for your reaction to RRR guys 🙏 .. Though you seemed to like the movie overall, you did sound dismissive / condescending about the over the top action scenes and were critical to the realistic probabilities of some scenes [ ironically Hollywood churns out more outlandish & Woke trash year after year😜 ]. Not being rude guys, just opining .✌ You need to understand that Indian cinema is very diverse and mind numbingly varid in it's subject matters and cultural approach from different linguistic regions. If you are looking for realism and for you to be able to really appreciate the depth and scope of Indian cinema, you must watch and react to the once in a lifetime and historically accurate movie ''SARDAR UDHAM'' .. It will just rip your soul . Hope you do take this suggestion seriously and I guarantee you, neither you nor your audience will be disappointed. [Here's the trailer of the movie, for your consideration.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bLWgKt1-SYo.html [don't forget to enable subtitles] ✌ With respects & regards from an Indian dude domiciled in Hong Kong... 🙏💖
If we came across dismissive or condescending it definitely wasn’t our intent. We really like everything about the movie. I think if I remember correctly we were juxtaposing the CGI in RRR to something “like” a marvel movie where the intent with the CGI is to blend it seamlessly with what is real and we liked what RRR presented and thought it fit well within the movie. If we ever review a marvel movie you will get my full irreverent opinion of those 😉
Thank you for the feedback. We actually loved how outlandish things were and we know that the MCU for example is not at all realistic either so if we sounded condescending please know that we very much enjoyed it and actually preferred it to the Hollywood take on things. We are learning so much about Indian cinema and how diverse it truly is. We have had several recommendations for "SARDAR UDHAM" so we will for sure try to do a review on it in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a recommendation. Hope Hong Kong is keeping you well and again thank you for listening to us and giving us feedback.
Your unfamiliarity with the Indian culture showed when you refer to Malli as Bhim's sister! She's not; she just belongs to his Gonda tribe and calls him 'brother' ass a courtesy. Even today, Indian kids are taught to call young people older than them Bhaiya - brother, and Didi - sister. They also call older unrelated people Uncle and Aunty as a courtesy.
Brother just watch KAITHI and VIKRAM. VIKRAM is also one of the finest Indian movies ever made but its linked to KAITHI so please watch KAITHI and VIKRAM once. You will love it. If you feel RRR is good then VIKRAM is must watch.
*"RRR" Was An Indian film, Then It's Box Office Collection Was $160 Milloin, imagine, If it Was A Hollywood(In English) film, Then it Was Seen All Over The World, Then How Much Would it's Box Office Collection.* 🤔 *Imagine S S Rajamouli With The Budget Of Marvel Films, That Guy Will Create The Greatest Movies Ever.* 🤔
Can you give few examples where Physics took a back seat? I felt cgi was amazing and near-natural. Throwing motorbike needs to be understood. In 1920s, motorbikes used to weigh mostly 60-65 kg, which is easy to lift for fighters of the time, especially soldiers. Malli was not Bheem's sister. Bheem was a protector (shepherd) of Gond tribe (kind, innocent, helpless, and team people compared to sheep). Girl calls him brother, which is normal in India to address as "brother" (Anna or Bhai). Even our PM is called "Narendra Bhai Modi". But I'm curious to know specific examples you keep laughing about "Physics is off". Technically, fire and water are personification of personalities. Bheem never liked Jenny romantically. He just noticed her for her kindness, and sees her as a gatepass into governor's mansion. He has respect and gratitude towards her but not romantic feelings. However, initially Ram helps as wingman because he assumes that Akhtar (Bheem) loves Jenny because he sees Bheem focusing on her, only we know why. My most favorite scene is when governor's blood splashes over the crown. That was such a powerful picturization of the whole story of freedom struggle in one frame. Though fake historians give credit to nonviolence as a reason for the brits to leave their cash cow (India) for 200 years, but they left because of Subhash Bose who created a parallel military (INA) which forced brits to leave. That means with force! That's what that scene shows. And thankfully gandhi (fake freedom fighter) wasn't shown at the end of the movie! Thanks SSR for that!

Britishers are not "portrayed" as over the top horrible people but they WERE that horrible while British Rule in India. First read the history and then pass your judgements over other country's history.
We understand the the British did some horrendous things. We are not passing judgement over your history, ultimately this movie is entertainment and not an accurate retelling of India's history. Since watching this movie we have started learning so much about Indian culture, history and cinema from comments just like yours. Thank you for helping us understand!
Please stop saying it a propoganda movie we fought for our land and our freedom fighter was nobody penny less but they still fought they never owned slaves
Propaganda may not be the correct phrase but it is definitely a "idealized or stylized" version of real people telling a fictional story. It celebrates India and these heroes! There is nothing wrong with that. We have many American directors who also do the same. Even the musical "Hamilton" put our founding fathers in a certain light and isn't entirely accurate.
