RRR - The Biggest Blockbuster You've Never Heard Of 

I've had Naatu Naatu in my head for 4 days straight. I've resigned myself to the fact that this is my life now. Just walking around absent mindedly sing-mumbling "Naaaaaatu Naatu Naatu Naatu Naatu..." until my demise.

For the Naatu Naatu dance sequence, the directors made the actors do 17 takes and would check frame by frame if their leg work synced up. He then chose the 2nd take among them. This is told by the actors itself in an interview that's on RU-vid.

I've seen it three times now and I think it's really the music that gets me most amped of all, the way the themes build on each other throughout the movie makes it absolutely overwhelming by the end.

21:44 Wow, Patrick predicted the future! “Naatu Naatu” won the Oscar!

Holy shit you were right. This movie absolutely slaps. Like, "jumping across the screen to punch a tiger in midair, yet somehow that isn't even the best part of the movie" kind of slaps.

My life was forever changed one weekend when I got super stoned and discovered Baahubali on Netflix. Been a fan of S. S. Rajamouli & Indian cinema ever since!

Indian cinema should be where anime and video game movies get made. They're so good at the over-the-top action without losing the dramatic, sincere moments.

I was knocked loopy when the Naatu Naatu dance number kicked in. Literally gave me goosebumps and I’m not exaggerating my jaw was hanging. Amazing movie in so many ways.

I watched this movie because of your tweets and it was some of the most fun I've had in a theater in years, it's incredible

RRR was my first Indian film, and it was one of the most insane movies I've ever seen. It's an epic for sure. It felt like a whole season of a show, but with the craziest shit

Watching RRR feels like having a movie injected directly into your veins

i can still feel the drums beating in my chest from the most upbeat dance number to the most gripping conflict. it is such an emotionally overwhelming piece of media

You can’t believe how impressed I am to hear you differentiate between the Tollywoods (I say this as a lapsed member of a place called the Tolly Club)

I'm half way through watching it on Netflix right now, and I have to say "Thank you!". This may be the most amazing film I have ever seen.

Similarly "Tumbbad" was a big fan moment for me and the reason why I started watching Indian Cinemas. Thank me later for suggesting this gem. Btw! I'm a big fan of your style of reviewing movies.

I'm super late to the party, but RRR is quite literally why we love movies - underdog heroes fighting against a larger power, genuine bromance between polar opposites, and an absolute goddamn BANGER of a soundtrack. If you watch RRR and hate it, guess what, you hate the magic of cinema itself.

I wish Netflix had RRR available in Telugu rather than just the Hindi dub - not like I'll understand a word, but I'd like to hear the songs in their original version

Patrick I saw it in France (I'm French) I was a fan of the Baahubali Diptych by the same director S. S. Rajamouli It was awsome Also : it was very funny when the movie ended because many people from the audience (who was almost entirely Indian) asked me why I was here and if I enjoyed the movie

I was lucky to catch it in theaters, it only played twice where I live and not at all in other places. The subtitles had lots of mistakes and weren't properly translated, but it still was one of the best theater experiences I ever had. It's hard to describe the amount of spectacle RRR puts on screen, it was so rejuvenating compared to the lifeless husks most Hollywood blockbusters are nowadays.

Yes, I became obsessed with Indian cinema since RRR. It's refreshing.

i had to go to the outer suburbs to the only cinema in Sydney showing RRR. Loved it! Thanks Patrick.

Saw this twice in theaters and loved it! It's funny you mention Ben Hur, because in an interview the director specifically cites that as one of his favorite films as a kid. He'd watch the chariot race over and over!

Honestly the best blockbuster I've seen in years. It fully understands what SPECTACLE is, a factor that I think most western action films have forgotten.

Immense respect for understanding Indian cinema is not only bollywood.. Thank you for mention of Tollywood 🙏

The attire that Ram wears at the end of the movie is the historically accurate attire that the actual Alluri Sitarama Raju wore during his fight against the British. It is well documented in telugu states that he wore that during his freedom fight as there are many statues, artwork and photos that show him in that attire. As many telugu people know the significance of Alluri sitarama raju, seeing him wear the historically accurate attire is similar to seeing a Marvel Character wearing his comic accurate suit for the first time. The reasons for the criticisms of propaganda is because of the unfamiliarity of the freedom fighter in other indian states and thus seeing him in that attire will make people think that it's pandering to the right wing. As a telugu person, it's annoying that people are confusing the attire of the actual freedom fighter with the whole nationalist propaganda.

Thank you for the recommendation. I drove an hour and a half to see it and it was so worth it. This movie was incredible. I gotta say tho, the portrayal of the colonists was not over-the-top.

“3 hour long action musical historical epic” yeah say no more, I will be returning to this video in 3 hours 😂

A friend of mine saw your video and got a group of us together this passed weekend to watch RRR and it is absolutely the greatest movie I have ever seen.

I am Telugu speaking person , the attire of Ram Charan in the climax fight of the movie is 100 % accurate , it’s recorded in the Telugu history , back in late 1980’s number of Telugu classic historic movies were made on Alluri sitha rama raju which are in saffron clothing . It’s sad to say people saying propaganda with out knowing about the perosn or the history

I watched this movie with my mom last night, because of this video, and oh my God, it's the best thing I've seen on Netflix

MY FUCKING MAN! I was trying to see everything everywhere all at once with some friends but it wasn't playing, but that theater had rrr and after watching the trailer we had to see it, one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

What I liked about this man is that he actually did research on Indian movies rather than rediciuling them without proper knowledge.. unlike other reviewers. This is what good review is all about.

For me the best part of RRR was discovering Ram Charan. Although I had seen him before in Magadheera. But man, what a performance he has delivered in this movie. His expressive eyes, the intensity of his emotions.. His smile. I was swept away. ❤

This movie was everything you described and so much more. Seeing this movie in the theater was the best decision I made in a long time.

I literally enjoyed this movie!!! The soundtrack is so good and the actions scenes are insane!! The actors really nailed their job in this especially the director. Watched this from the Philippines ♥️

My teen daughter and I had a GREAT time with Bahu`bali, but I saw RRR on my own. Then dragged her to see it. She lost her mind. She said it made everything that Marvel has ever done look like boring garbage. She could not wait to go back to school and start making recommendations.

If I'm being honest, everything Patrick says about RRR at 12:00 is EXACTLY how I've been describing Everything Everywhere All At Once to everybody I know (I've also seen RRR and yeah it absolutely rules)

My favourite film of the year. That ending action scene with the blood landing on the symbol of the British crown? Genius.

Everything Everywhere All At Once was my movie of the year... but RRR is an absolute spectacle in every regard. Its stolen my heart through an through

I watched RRR over three nights on Netflix because I just had to watch several sequences multiple times. On the last night I git super stoned, and didn’t notice much of a difference! It was just just as epic, bonkers and fun, regardless of your level of sobriety! Now I just wish that I could talk more friends into seeing it. Most won’t even give it a chance, despite enjoying all kinds of other action, historical and fantasy films!

Regarding end-credits musical numbers, this just reminded me that I could do with watching Takeshi Kitano version of Zatōich again. The dance number at the end is really spirit lifting.

i watched it 3 times since yesterday morning. Such a great lesson of loyalty respect honor. just when you think oh that scene was crazy couldnt possibly get better. they deliver more than you can handle. So Epic . i found this video cause i was curious what the rest of the world was saying.

Rajamouli hardly made 10+ movies and he is certainly maturing and becoming epic film maker movie after movie with bigger and bigger thoughts. He and his team starts with "one liner" and brings out the best story out of it. 20 years down the line, he would be known as world's best epic story teller with greatest visuals and I'm very sure. Generations will remember him. Let us wait when he would take up his dream project Mahabharata, the greatest epic from Hinduism.. God bless him with long life.

Watching RRR on Netflix at home was like watching Avatar in Imax. They both brought so much spectacle and innovation but in different ways.

Rrr is the only movie I've watched in years that actually had a pulse.

To be frank, I have watched this movie 8 times in theaters. After listing to your video, I want to watch it another 3 times in a theater itself. In recent times, RRR is the best theatrical experience I have had.

Went to see the new Top Gun movie yesterday, as we were planning where to eat, and how unimpressed the movie was, my friend Ro mentioned that he has heard about a new Indian film on Netflix. Now as an Indian myself I understood the time frame of an Indian movie, so I was not ready to committed. However, there were 2 non Indian friends who were yet to see an Indian movie, they were like sure let watch it🤦 Few hours later with full bellies we made our way to Ro's and settled in...I swear we had no alcohol at all but became a loud bunch, was screaming, yelling, laughing, hugging, crying and dancing, by the end we have decided to go to see it in the big screen. 😄

Pardon the long comment, I just have to share my experience with this movie: I watched this movie with a friend of mine, and we went in pretty much completely blind. I’d heard about the movie through some word of mouth online, but I somehow never saw any clips nor heard anything about the plot, only that it was an Indian action movie and an absolute blast. And holy shit. I’ve never been through such an intense three hours before. Every half hour, we checked the run time (we were watching on Netflix) certain that we were more than halfway through, only to find we were only one hour in. I’ve grown up watching Bollywood movies! I’m used to long runtimes! But I’m also used to those runtimes being cushioned by long musical numbers and gratuitous slow burn romances. Not this one. This was the most jam-packed three hours I’ve watched. I’ve never seen a movie be so stuffed by pure plot and development. By the time we finished the movie, my friend and I looked at each other, completely speechless. We didn’t know how we felt about it. We didn’t know if we loved or hated it. We were just…drained in the best way possible. We started cracking jokes about feeling like we’d been through the trenches together, being irreversibly changed by the experience of watching this movie, and only able to describe it as “the movie of all time.” Now, with some time to actually think through all of it, I loved it. I would love to watch it again with someone who hasn’t seen it before, just to experience it for the first time again through someone else. I think Everything Everywhere All at Once was the last movie to make me feel so blown away, and before that, I can’t remember what movie had made me feel like that. I’m so incredibly thankful that I somehow dodged any and all previous glimpses of it and went it so blind. What a fucking ride.

Everything you say from 25.45 to 27.20 is excactly how I felt watching this movie. It was exhilarating to see something that works so well entirely in and of itself again. To cheer not for cameos, but for callbacks to themes and character beats

I just watched RRR on Netflix and you weren’t overhyping. Truly amazing!

Saw _RRR_ 2x on the big screen. Still my favorite film of 2022 so far. I want “Dosti” and “Naatu Naatu” to get nominated for Best Original Song awards and to open the 95th Academy Awards early next year.

I've been obsessed with bollywood for the last year because I found it refreshing kind of for the same reasons you mentioned, but lately I've come across people recommending tamil or telugu movies. RRR is going to be my introduction into South Indian cinema and you have me so pumped to watch it. Thanks!

Ram's attire at the Climax is based on the reality that The real freedom fighter Alluri seetha rama Raju fought in that attire for the freedom of people. Of course that Alluri legend might have taken Lord Rama as his inspiration But coming to this movie it's Alluri SeethaRamaRaju ,freedom fighter. It feels good to see people loving this Masterpiece.

I love this movie so much. I saw it twice on the big screen. It's probably one of the best cinematic experiences I've ever had.

Because of your review, I decided to watch it - tried to also relay your excitement to my girlfriend who was sceptical at best- and we really enjoyed the movie! It's 'different' but in a good way. Thanks for broadening our horizons!

I agree with everything except for when you called the guy cartoonishly evil. They were actually THAT evil, and more :( great video!!!

Some details & historic background about the movie, its characters : *Alluri Sita Rama Raju* was born in the West-Godavari (a district of present Indian state *Andhra Pradesh* on the banks of river *Godavari* ), to Alluri Venkata Rama Raju & his wife Suryanarayanamma in a Telugu-Kshatriya (Raju) family. After his parents died when he was 12, He was raised by his uncle in *Bhimavaram* . Alongside his education, he also got trained in Horse-riding & Archery. He was a well-civilized man, who *felt that the real evil was happening in the forests, that the tribals are the ones really being suppressed & exploited the most by british* and went into forests (Paderu & other forest areas near *Visakhapatnam* , currently named after him as *Alluri Sitarama Raju District* ) and dedicated his whole life for helping them fight british, *although wasn't a tribal himself the tribals saw him as a Leader and followed him* . He is revered and remembered not just as a great revolutionary but also as a symbol of *unshakable Honesty & Commitment, Admirable Character* . The tribals used to evoke the image of the Hindu-deity *Rama* in Alluri as an honorary, which despite being a religious man he never asked for. Since he went into forests for helping tribals, Raju actually *used to wear Saffron clothing and used bow & arrows* (was also a *sharp shooter* ) which resembled Hindu-god *RAM* . It is believed as his approach to stand as a symbol of inspiration for tribals to join him in revolt. Some believe that Raju taking *Brahmacharya Sanyas* (divine way of life, without love or attachment to any woman) for the revolution was the reason for his Saffron attire. He didn't marry his love Sita, sacrificing his love & life for revolution, and Sita understood that and lived as an admirer of him till her death. After her death, Raju changed his name from *Alluri Rama Raju* to *Alluri Sita Rama Raju* . He used to do *guerilla raids* on British police stations *(after informing & challenging them that he's going to come & attack and stop him if they can)* and collect guns & weapons, using an army of armed tribals by training them. Although britishers knew where he lived for a long time, It's said that it cost around *4 million* even in those days, for the british to finally capture & execute him. He was of only 25-26 years old when he died. They killed Rama Raju *unethically while he's unarmed, performing a morning prayer* . The efforts of Alluri in waging an armed conflict, with an army of tribals, without any state powers, against one of the most powerful empires have been recognised by all. The British government themselves grudgingly acknowledged him as the most-powerful tactician of the Guerrilla warfare. *Komaram Bheem* , a tribal himself from *Gond tribes* of *Adilabad* (a district of the present Indian state *Telangana* ) He was an extremely strong man & intensely emotional nature, and is *rumoured to hunt a tiger* by himself. He used to wear muslim disguises during his revolt against *Nizam* . He died fighting the Nizam's of *Bhagyanagaram* (present day Hyderabad) after a traitor in his own army helped the enemies find him. In Telugu states ( *Andhra Pradesh, Telangana* ), most of these things are very well known in every household, maybe not much in other states. They were referred to as *Sri Ram* and *Bheemasen* of *Ramayanam* & *Mahabharatam* , respectively, by people (since long back before the movies even existed !!) from their Names and features *Rama Raju's* - Saffron Attire, was a Kshatriya (Raju), went to forests and made an army with tribals, not just fought evil but lived with unshakable Character & Virtues, his love was also a *Sita* and he remained true to her even after her death. *Komaram Bheem* - Physical strength, Wild attacking nature, Perseverance, and also because gonds believe that they are descendants of *Gatothkacha, son of Bheem from Mahabharatam* ) being similar and out of the level of reverence they've achieved from people. Both left their homes almost in the same period and then returned after some time and started their revolutions against British and Nizam in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana, respectively. After returning home, Rama Raju started wearing Saffron clothing till the day he died fighting for tribals (known as *Rampa Rebellion* , with the motto *Manade Rajyam* which translates to *Ours is this kingdom* against British in Visakhapatnam agency and some parts of both Godavari districts), and Bheem came back as an educated man and started his rebellion (with motto *Jal, Jangal, Jameen* with translates to *Water, Forest & Soil* ). Although there's no record that Raju & Bheem actually met, It's said that Bheem admired & took inspiration from Alluri Sita Rama Raju & his way of rebellion using a tribal army. As no one has a clear idea about what happened to them in that period when they left, and what made them become revolutionaries.. the movie writer wrote a Fictional tale of friendship between the two, that they met & became friends and Bheem was the one who gave Rama Raju a Saffron attire and that he got educated himself from Rama Raju, connecting everything that was remembered about them in telugu people hearts.. if we see carefully, we can see all these details used in some way, in the movie clearly.. Other details : -The Indian flag used throughout the movie was the older Berlin Committee Flag (designed by *Madame Bhikaji Cama, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar & Shyamji krishna Varma* ) corresponding to the time period. (Current Indian flag was designed by *Pingali Venkayya* ) - The bike used by Bheem was of the older world war versions, which were designed lightweight for men to lift and carry them when required. -Back in the 90s, even top actors were afraid to play the character of Rama Raju, as if not done properly, it could hurt people's feelings *(There are literally temples built by people out of reverence for Rama Raju !!)* . It was first made a movie by Actor Krishna (father of Mahesh babu : lead actor of SS Rajamouli's next movie). It became a Sensational Blockbuster breaking all the records and brought him a never-ending fame as the most daring actor in Telugu film industry. -Rama Raju is also revered by people as *Manyam Dhora* (King of the Wild Forests) & Komaram Bheem is praised as *Gondu Bebbuli* (Ferocious Tiger of Gond tribes). These names are also referred to in the Original movie ( *Telugu* or Tollywood version, available on Disney plus Hotstar & Zee5). It's dubbed into all industries of Indian Cinema. The one in Netflix is Hindi dubbed/ bollywood version. - India has a set of *Film industries* in it, corresponding to it's rich diversity in languages spoken within the single country (many National languages). and each of these film industries have some great movies (along with average ones and disasters) The name Bollywood which was earlier thought by some as the "Indian Film industry" (there's no such thing) is just the industry corresponding to language Hindi (most-spoken, around 47% of Indians). The movies.. *RRR, Baahubali 1 & 2* are from the Industry corresponding to language *Telugu* (TFI - Telugu Film Industry or Tollywood). There are more than 5 major Film industries within India. About language *Telugu* : 1. Referred as *Italian of the East,* as it's the only language in the Eastern world, which has every word ending in a vowel sound. 2. It's one of the *6 Classical languages of India* . (Others being Tamil, Sanskrit, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia) 3. It's the *15th* most spoken language in the world and *3rd* most spoken language wrt India (after Hindi, Bengali), and the largest of all *Dravidian* (South-Indian) languages. It's also the fastest-growing foreign language of USA 4. Lyrical composition of the famous *Karnatic music* (one of the two Indian Classical music) is done in Telugu. Great poets like *Rabindranath Tagore* and many kings like *Sri Krishnadevaraya* , who are non-telugu natives, praised it as the sweetest & most special one of all the Indian languages. It has been voted to have the *second-best script in the world* , after Korean by the International Alphabet Association. 5. Easy to learn Language, the words and their corresponding phonetics always match. -Names of Freedom fighters (shown in the movie ending song) & which Indian State, language they belong to : - *Subash Chandra Bose* : You see Indian National Army behind him as he was a military general (state west bengal/ orissa, language Bengali) - *Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel* : You see India's map behind him because he united princely states' like Hyderabad into India after independence (state Gujarat, language Gujarati) - *Kittur Rani Chennamma* : You see an army behind her because she led an armed resistance against British (EIC) East India Company (state Karnataka, language Kannada) - *V.O.Chidambaram Pillai* : You see ships behind him because he founded the Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company in 1906 to compete against the monopoly of the British India Steam Navigation Company (state Tamil nadu, language Tamil) - *Bhagat Singh* : You see judge behind him because he was given death penalty at a very young age and it united people across India (state Punjab, language Punjabi) - *Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu* : He was called *Andhra Kesari* (Andhra's Lion), so a lion with Andhra's map behind him (also RRR Heroes Alluri SitaRama Raju & Komaram Bheem) (state Andhra Pradesh, language Telugu) - *Varma Pazhassi Raja* : His Army behind him because he fought wars against EIC known as "Coitte wars" (state Kerala, language Malayalam) - *Chatrapathi Sivaji* : Pratapgarh fort behind him (state Maharashtra, language Marathi)

25:03 Saffron is a holy colour in India from a Decamillennium, we don't care if any political party uses it, if you wanna attack that party be our guest but leave the colour and religion aside.

I almost saw this one in theatres on a whim, but had to cancel my tickets last minute. Didn't know how good it was (I just saw it was playing at a discount and thought it would be fun), and I'll never stop kicking myself for missing out on the opportunity to see this on the big screen.

1. Lord Ram is beyond right wing. 2. Alluri Sitaram Raju depiction in RRR is indeed inspired by Lord Ram. The attire, the BGM and the small sequences like arrow piercing the tree, Seetha mudrika exchange, the prison escape on shoulders of Bheem. 3. Rajmouli's vision is driven from Epic Ramayana and Mbh in this as well as previous ventures. He admits it and even explains it in great detail. Since North Indians too share the understanding of these epics, they correctly gauge the references wherever they made. 4. Lastly, Alluri Sitaram Raju himself was a devout Sanyasi Freedom fighter, who was known for preaching Bhagavad Gita while criss crossing through countryside. A small tribute to this fact is in RRR when Raju himself recites a shloka while doing pull-ups in prison cell.

Am incredibly hard to plz when it comes to movies but I think RRR is the best movie ever i laughed I cried I cringed I fell in love. I had consider the matrix (1st movie) the best movie ever and it ruled for years, until now ..

Legit one of the best theatre experiences I’ve ever had- left the theatre happy. Hope to see it again soon.

"Lets see a Marvel movie top that" Seriously if you come to India, even Marvel movies will be celebrated like festivals. Endgame for example had such audience response.

RRR is the power of Indian culture, showcasing enigmatic art, movies, music. RRR is love, we want it rereleased again

Saw it last night, solely based off this video and ear god was it AMAZING. Some of it was random or confusing but I had a giant smile plastered on my face for like the entire movie. Also, holy hell does the music slap from the word go and just builds for three hours. By the time the ridiculous song and dance end credits scene arrived, I was thuroughly on board.

How you felt after seeing RRR is how I felt seeing Baahubali in the theater, which I saw each part four times in the theater and over ten times each. They’re even better than RRR. They’re the whole reason I created my RU-vid channel reviewing Indian cinema - and I love discussing these films with my Indian viewers. (Pardesi means foreigner in Hindi). I had watched many Hindi films, but Baahubali was one of my first South Indian films. My love of Telugu films has even led to me reviewing classic Telugu films for a Telugu site, ABP Desam, where they subtitle me, after all these years of me reading subtitles. I’ve been swooning over NTR jr’s grandfather NTR in his films from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I also love the experience of seeing Indian films with the audience and I try to go first day, first show. I love that that is such a thing in Indian cinema - FDFS for true fans. Loved this video and your co-writer gave you such great background information that gives great context for those new to Indian cinema. Highly, highly recommend you seek out other Rajamouli films like Baahubali 1 and 2, Maghadeera (stars Ram Charan), and especially Eega (The Fly).

Trying to see this movie in its Telugu version sent me down a rabbit hole where I learned about the complex dubbing scene in Indian cinema which is barely touched on here. There are three different selections for the Bahubaali films on Netflix because they're honestly different movies. For RRR, the Telugu version won't be on Netflix -- it was sold to a different service. We'll eventually get the Hindi, Tamil and English versions, which have completely different versions of Naatu Naatu! The good news is that I finally found a theater playing it and my life was changed. This is the best movie of 2022 and will be hard to top.

As a lover of Indian cinema I feel so excited to see so many other people checking these films out and falling in love with them. I really wish my friends would get interested in this line of cinema. Indian films are top notch ❤️❤️❤️

Because Of this review I drove 30 miles to go see it today after watching Your critique, it was amazing. Fun fact, a younger couple was there and also watched your video and also saw the movie because of your review lol

Really enjoyed RRR had to see it twice in theaters and wish I could’ve seen it three. One of the rare times I felt like I floating during a movie

This is very similar to how I feel about Korean shows, typically the OTT romcoms and dramas. I love the sincerity, the high intensity, how it just doesn't care about being more clever than the audience. It's just good stuff, yall

One minute silent for those who missed this legendary Epic master piece in theatre experience 🤧

I really enjoyed this review, and look forward to seeing this movie. What really caught my attention was the word "sincere." The more I think about it, the more I see it as a central concept to many truly great movies. At the risk of an absurd analogy, it reminds me of listening to Mr. Rogers. The sincerity wins you over.

I wasn't able to see this movie, because there is war in my country right now. But I am so freaking excited to see it when it comes to home video and this video just made me even more hyped.

As an indian-American I want to thank you for this video. RRR was one of the best examples of what Indian movies can be. I encourage everyone to watch this if you haven't already.

I just finished it again... so far I've seen it 4 times this week. And even though I've seen it and know what's going to happen... it still feels like I'm seeing it for the first time. I can't remember when I was so fully immersed within a movie due to the story. In fact this movie is sooooo good... it doesn't need a sequel. Good recommend...

As a big fan of Baahubali, I was very excited for SS. Rajamouli's next big blockbuster. Glad to see he continues to be a gateway director to Tollywood for Western fans.

Patrick is now the 2nd movie person I regularly follow online who tells me this is a must-see. As is the case with international movies like this, I don't know if/when I'll get the chance to catch it here in Mexico but I'll keep an eye out for releases/distribution.

What a great recommendation. I never would have known of it were it not for you and it is truly incredible.

21:43 You predicted Oscar for Naatu Naatu one year before.

I am so fucking happy Patrick is talking about this movie. What a fantastic piece of cinema

Isn't it frustrating that they are calling it propoganda movie just because there are some references of Hindu mythology. Don't you think that this is disrespect towards a culture rather than a religion? Why using saffron colour is ruffling feathers are we that insensitive towards others culture or beliefs. If movie had shown bad things about other cultures/religions then that is wrong and disagreeable but showing reference of a culture shouldn't be a problem.

I can confirm RRR is the best movie of 2022, Those BGMs & VFXs are so dope, no one should miss it. Experience it only in theatres! It’ll make ur day for sure.

People who are criticising this movie and calling it a right wing propaganda film just because Ram wore a red costume fail to highlight the fact that in the movie its also shown Bheem-Raam and a Muslim family having lunch together. PS- Kindly don't fall prey to such narratives. Just have fun!!

Oh good. Dude this movie blew me away! Its a classic film with a 2022 coat of paint. That dance scene you know everyones having fun and reminds me of singin in the rain

@24:50 The right wing Hindu nationalism targets only Muslims. It does not target tribals and lower castes. In fact, it makes all efforts to address caste differences. A lot of right wing leaders are from lower castes, including the prime minister Modi himself.

"Huge jacked men" "Not to be confused with Hugh Jackman" That's the most hilarious shit i have heard in a while 🤣

He (Ram charan) dressed like freedom fighter Alluri Seetaramaraju (Who belongs to Andhra Pradesh) but not like God Srirama. Ramcharan character was inspired by Alluri Sita Rama Raju (freedom fighter) that's why he dressed like him in the end. Very few people know about alluri sitaramaraju.

Love the review! One thing about Ram's costume change at the end of the movie. His saffron costume is actually modelled after the costume worn by real life Alluri Sitarama Raju, the freedom fighter upon who Ram's character is based on. Alluri is often depicted wearing saffron costume and wielding bow an arrow.

I'm loving all the recent love South Indian movies have been getting, so well deserved.

"You are actively choosing to live a worse life" that right there convinced me.

We just finished watching it on Netflix last night (we have kids, it took us three days to watch the whole thing 😅). I kid you not when this movie made me feel like I actually had blood coursing through my veins; I was so insanely pumped during the action sequences, I laughed my ass off during the comedic moments and dance scenes, and I truly felt emotional connection to the dramatic side of the film. The only word I can really sum up this film with is genuine. It has soul, it pops with color, it is unabashedly unashamed of what it is, and I fucking fell in love. I already want to watch it again! It's insane, and it's so incredibly epic!

“Indian cinema is not only about Bollywood” - this explanation was much needed, especially to the western world. Much appreciated.

5:30 mollywood is where you'd find very indie type films, very grounded

One more thing u didn't notice in this movie was every scene when there was a water so was bheem and every scene when there was fire so was Ram And every scene when there was both fire and water so was their friendship 🙂

5:32 "buckle up"😂😂 Even I , being an Indian didn't know all these names.

I am legitimately surprised you took the time to review an Indian movie! I am glad to see you expanding your horizons more and more!

We literally had goosebumps with the way you detailed about RRR, Tollywood and the vibes of whistling :) Huge respect 🙏

I know you mentioned it in passing, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Baahubali! It's one of my favorite movies. I'm very much looking forward to seeing RRR when I get the chance.

I was enjoying the film quite a bit at the beginning, but when the leads started dancing I fell in love with it!
