Answers to many questions raised in the podcast 1) English actors - In most Indian films they just get any rando white guy tourist for the small roles but in this case they did hire good actors but the direction (imo) was intentionally goofy. 2) Masala Genre - A mix of different genres within a film is a staple of Indian cinema, we have grown up on it and I would say RRR is the best example of it. Riley you nailed the pronunciations. That was a great synopsis, better than Wikipedia. 3) Bridge scene - If you notice in the first 3 Action set pieces (1000 men fight, Tiger, Bridge) there are no dialogues for the actors throughout. Thats a big deal specially when they meet and come together. To do that is just next level in accordance to Indian films. So them pulling off the rescue without even talking is great visual storytelling. 4) Regarding the Controversy - Its like forcefully digging holes to make one's point. The last appearance of both of them in the film is actually there real life look, so the whole argument falls apart. 5) Bangle - Even I have no idea being an indian what that bangle resembles. i thought its just something she feels of her home looking at. 6) Why the interrogation - What they know about the shepherd is that he will go to any length to get the girl. When that dude meets raju he says me and my brother are here to take revenge and raju knows this guy cannot be the shepherd hence his brother is. 7) About the comedy with Bheem not knowing english works really well and relatable to a lot of Indians. I think its the innocence that sells it well My father loved bheem and also felt he was done dirty. David if you watch the film again, you will notice its very obvious what raju is doing, the film is not trying to make him look bad. 8) Both not revealing each other about is well setup. Bheem later says that he didn't want to risk rajus life. Before the bridge scene also his brother almost saved himself from raju (police) so they were more cautious. If you remember there was scene them eating together and raju notice something about bheem (akhtar atm) and remembers something and later we find out its similar to his brother in the backstory. So he did have a different vibe about bheem and didn't doubt him. Yes David it was the same beats used in the song Naato, when raju is poisoned and the jail break scene. 9) For most indians (there are exceptions) we are very emotion driven, if we connect emotionally we are all in but if its not we will also shred it asking for logic. There are people who hate this film in India and thats totally fine.
Just to add to your points: Regarding the interrogation, Lachchu mentions that the British took a girl from their tribe. And he came along with his 'elder brother' (to tell us that his brother was the one leading the plan). At this point, it is clear that the shepherd is the 'elder brother' Regarding the bridge scene, I think Rajamouli wanted to show how these two guys were having this understanding. Regarding the bangle, there was a black marking on it which seemed like a message. Maybe Gonds did have their own script which Rajamouli didn't want to show but not sure. The reason Raju did not release Lachchu immediately is to make sure that he is still captive in case he can survive the snake bite.
masala which means spice (ingredient not the flavor) in indian cinema implies flavor which implies engagement and entertainment, so a masala film means a commercial film, it just happens to be most indian movies have the so called mix of genres
Just To add on Bangle part : If you see NTRs hand during fight with Tiger in introduction shot , you can find tatoos specific to Gond tribe. SO NTR has drawn same tatoos on bangle to intimate Malli that they are on the way.
For the guys who are saying it’s not India’s inception, inception didn’t make Hollywood cross cultures or increase its viewers. Titanic, avatar, Jurassic park did. Those are not intellectual movies good story great passion of directors and really good understanding of what people want. That’s what rajamouli literally is he’s not Christopher Nolan he’s James Cameron. And that’s what many Americans are thinking, currently there aren’t many passionate directors in Hollywood who are thinking movie is to entertaine audience or to just have fun. Let rajamouli make the world turn towards Indian cinema and they’ll slowly appreciate other classics. Don’t kill it just because it’s an Indian cinema I know we are always fascinated by something which is not ours.
exactly !!!! he is not nolan and he never wanted to be ,, he is just a storytelller the way he wants to be ,,, i have watched almsot all of his films eega , bahubali , etc ,,
The British colonial atrocities were even worse. What they have shown in the movie is less than what really happened. Jalianwala Bagh massacre is one among many.
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
Agreed and you need to understand that for centuries wars all over India was fought in many variation of a dhoti (single long piece fabric worn as 'trousers'). And the temperatures in south are sweltering hot and it's so mundane to see men top less and in a dhoti.
@VPN dhoti was literally worn by everyone dude. The whole male population wore it. Pants is a much less worn clothing and was only used from beginning of f colonial era.
@VPN what you spoke is 100% rubbish. Not because what you say is false but because what you say is stupid comparison and largely propoganda history. And no it wasn't 500+ empires. Wtf is that even. It was 500+ princely states with only a 100 or so of them being kings. Rest are all Zamindars and Princes and such. Not kings. There was no empire by time British took over. All empires had been defeated and ruled by Muslim royals or British themselves. And most of all, 100% of what you said is totally unrelated to my discussion. You are speaking garbage when the discussion is about something else entirely. Learn to read and then respond.
both actors whosever life they are depicting are from different era. (they lived decades apart) it is not propaganda just entertainment entertainment entertainment
James needs to look up english treatment of Indians if he thought the English were cartoonishly evil. Bruh I can understand if he meant the acting but stuff like fucked up torture were actually real.
well lot of people are also saying it is right wing or some sort of propaganda. I mean please use google find facts from real sources and don't read opinion based news on tv. Indian love english movies but I never seen anyone saying that this is Christian propaganda everyone have their own culture and cinema. sometimes it is hate generated by NYT like news sites. people enjoy movies and just watch it for fun. love from India
@@DhruvPatel-zg1zs this movie is not a propaganda. But their exceptional celebration of this movie but a boycott of movie like Jai Bheem is definitely a propaganda.

Lot of people disagree with James but it’s ok. That’s is the exact reason why rajamouli put those intro scenes in the beginning of the movie to show you how exactly what type of movie it was gonna be. Most people bought it but James thought it was cringe! Tbh I could tell the moment he said he planned to watched this movie in two and was distracted that he wouldn’t like it. If you can’t connect emotionally with ram and bheems chqracter there is no movie.
As an Indian, I actually found this movie extremely cheesy and over the top more than usual Indian movies. The spectacle, the emotions and everything is so over dramatic and over the top that it is really hard to connect with it. Trust me, there are lot of Indian movies which do a better job at conveying emotions in believable fashion while also providing epic moments and spectacles just through story reveals. Common criticism that I hear about Marvel/DC movies in my country or atleast the people that I know is that they are fantastical and not realistic enough when the same people celebrate a movie like RRR. If you can look past the level of silliness in RRR, then you should not have any criticism in any Marvel/DC movie ever. I mean even pixar movies, despite being cartoons, have some grounded feel to it given the context in which they are set in.
Few points to note When they say "brother" in the subs it better translates to "bro". It doesn't literally mean brother. Also the clothing he wore was not right wing and was historically accurate. Also the romcom part was pretty funny and I think a lot got lost in translation. Most indian movies have some romance in it whether its a romance movie or not. Another thing is that the songs are really good in telugu and you might want to listen to playlist of the songs in telugu. Also a lot of south indian movies have fights with a lot of people.
Well. i have to give a clarification about the bangle. In India, most tribes have their own symbols . They usually tattoo that symbol/pattern on their body . If you observe in the first intro scene of bheem when he is shirtless, a pattern/symbol is tattooed on his bicep.So, when you see bheem making a bangle , it has a symbol of their triben on it which malli sees when jenny gives it to her conveying that someone from her tribe is their to rescue her.
Sardar Udham. It's on Amazon Prime. A complete opposite of this movie and equally good, if not better. A more realistic film about a time in Indian history. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Also, GANGS OF WASSEYPUR
The lot of problems that you have mentioned is because of culture difference we here dont have these many questions when u watch a movie like this It has 2 things emotional aspects and cinematic cool experience which we can not do it in stressful life And yes bromance is very common in india and these movies are common in india And yes the things that is funny action are actually celebrated in theatres with whistle and cheers Also Ram is very important part of our culture so he gets that importance in last part
Simple things about this film and Indian films 1. It’s not made for western sensibilities, it’s for mainly South Indian audiences. We actually enjoy this kind of cinema, as James wanted to know. The filmmakers know it’s over the top, we as audiences know it too. But we are unapologetic about it. It doesn’t feel jarring at all for us. I have seen almost around 3k films in my lifetime, all languages. But movies like RRR strike the emotional core in me. It’s like hearing a song from your favourite artist or eating mom’s food. 2. Films from industries other than Bollywood are finding wide audiences only recently after a long time. It’s being understood that majority of film goers who watch Bollywood movies have missed the unapologetic hero worship movies which you can go as family and enjoy, the south industry are offering them in terms of well written, acted and made movies. Coincidentally it was this directors previous two movies “Bahubali Part 1&2” which brought this about. Now movies like these are being called “Pan-Indian movies” - as in movies that appeal to people of different languages. 3. It’s surprising for us to see RRR getting so much love in the west. I partly sometimes mostly put it out to the lack of original exhilarating movies from Hollywood. But credit where it’s due Hollywood has given us Everything everywhere, Northman, Maverick, Unbearable weight, etc this year. 4. Hey if you don’t like this kind of cinema, Indian have other movies which might be in your ballpark but you know they are trying to pander to the west or trying to imitate the western sense of filmmaking. 5. If you do like these kind of movies, Indian cinema can offer you a plethora of content. All you need is find someone to give you recommendations. Love your Podcasts guys. It’s nice to be on Riley’s side for a change. Also I like the fact that you are not pandering to Indian audiences for the likes and subscribers. But if you guys are seriously interested in watching some iconic Indian films, will be very happy to give recommendations not hypes.
Raju asked where the brother was because in the first meeting at the revolutionaries site, the tribesmen states we came here with our brother to find a girl.
As a so called western one, i liked the movie. Just hope I find that original language version one. And Basically James wants to say about himself is: don't get other Cultures & don't have minimum basic Awareness to grasp nuisances & totally a film should explain itself even when brain's IQ can't distinguish between a over the top Fantasy world movie to a documentary. In Cali, we call such person as 8$ MacDonald Bubble Tv couch Grifter who never Travel outside the border, So stuck with copium of "World isn't right because It doesn't work as I think".
holy f you go hard when it comes to trashing someone ,,, 8$ MacDonald Bubble Tv couch Grifter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ,,, i think its the shift in the tone , and the way of telling a story that makes people move away from a film ,,, the indian way of making films is different ,, esepcially directors like rajamouli ,,

The guy who didnt like this film and also didnt like snowpiercer,i wanna know what his favourite movies are. I have to know if he actually enjoys any movies..
48:05 You think a guy living in a the middle of a jungle would be as groomed as Ram is? Tf, man? Some of these points r just so foolish. Only takes a little bit of thinking to understand why something is a certain way. And even if u didn't get it by just thinking, they actually made the effort to point out how oblivious he is to all of that when Ram points out that needs at least have a change of clothes before going to that party where they do the dance-off. He was just gonna walk in there in his normal attire. He's from a completey diff society and way of living, so see him that way. That also factors into how pure his purpose and actions/decisions are all throughout this movie. This wasn't something lost in translation, you just didn't THINK. 51:41 That, I def agree with. But, that little right-wing controversy u mentioned would've actually been "slightly" justified if they had done that. Ram's attire is symbolic of Lord Ram (cuz the director is a massssive fan of those tales), BUT it was also what the freedom fighter Actually wore in real life, so it's justified to have that. But, if they had also given Bheem some godly attire, which they could've (cuz his name also resembles some legendary figures), then those ppl complaining would've had a field day with this. So, probly for the better that they didn't do that. 1:07:50 No, we're not dumb, James. Everyone knows it's unrealistic, but it's FUN. It's entertainment. That's why we go to the cinemas. To laugh, be entertained, and have a good time. Enjoy the epicness of these. Not to go and fkn nitpick every little thing that defies the laws of physics and call it cringe. Just FUN, man. It's that simple. Thankfully, 90% of the ppl who watched it, loved it, and understand that. 1:10:10 You gotta see the CANON in terms of Indian Cinema as a whole. In that, almost all the main chars in commercial films Will at least be slightly superhuman in nature. They won't wear some superhero costume, but if they're main chars, they're super. So, next time, don't be surprised by it. That's just how it works here. A bit silly, but again, it's just to increase the "fun" apsect of the cinema experience. There r grounded movies too, but they're not usually produced at this scale and aren't marketed as much, so they never come on ur radar. But, there's something of great quality for all types of ppl. (Also def the longest comment I've ever written, lol😅)
These guys whole discussion is cringey bro. Silly nitpickers. They don't feel cringey when superheroes make silly unnecessary, unwanted, never asked jokes during serious battles that they think it's cool & don't definitely have problem with Blackwidow & Hawkeye fighting freaking aliens though they are normal Humans like us. They don't nitpick about how Hawkeye never runs out of his arrows. If people started to nitpick about the silly unwanted Hollywood superhero stuff, their movies couldn't even get out of their country. I still don't understand why do freaking adults fight in avengers for silly coloured stones like I did for coloured pebbles when I was a kid that too with a purple dude who thinks this whole universe would end because of his snap from a silly glove. Are we that much silly to believe in that childish stuff? How can a super solder(they say) serum is so powerful than that of iron man tech that captain America or Texas whatever could lift a hammer of a god? While hulk s*it's while lifting it . Bruh moment! I can nitpick so many things about the silly stuff that marvel thinks it's doing awesomely well just because they have big budget. I never felt so sleepy in a superhero movie than that I felt in end game. So boring & silly & overhyped to death just because of the older films. I still don't know how could they understand multiverse stuff that comes out of nowhere just because it's superhero movie but they can't understand a simple movie like RRR & are asking why, how & saying terms like cringey as of it was rocket science. Bro looks like they watched RRR just to nitpick & tear it in & out just because it's from India.
@@pokemonitishere202 I think you're comparing apples with oranges. This type of fiction is supposed to be about regular people living normal lives. That fiction is comic book sci-fi stuff where they actually have superpowers. It'd be cringe to mix both fictions. But I think doing that to a certain extent is regular indian cinema. However, it gets too over the top and pulls you away from the movie like in the last 30 mins.
Watch "Sardar Udham" guys. It is Realistic and grounded. Also the Foreign actors (White actors) are really great in this one. (Unlike most of the Indian movies).
Most indians know how that bangle is made. That bangle is made from hot clay. It harden as it get colder. it takes 2 min to make. it is called "Lacquer bangles." if you search it you may get the idea. I personally think, if they had better setup for bangles it would have been better. Like if little girl at the start of the movie give those same design bangles to governor's wife and Bheem know that design becoz he is from same tribe. or they can even add 5 sec of tribe guy making those same bangles. No one pointing out but 2 Deers and 1 Tiger were in same cage. Even Though this film choose certain style, most of the errors can be fixed by little rewrite without compromising.
When he says brother, its because of the literal translation. In telugu you refer to your male friends and loved ones as Anna if they're older than you and it translates to brother.
19:50 The guy had no clue that bheem was capturing the animals in his intro scene, & he thought it was for feast. Rofl! no wonder he hated the movie, because he was never involved while watching this.
About the bangle, there are some symbols on it. That are reminiscent to their tribe and also it’s on the shoulder of Bheem .That’s how she comes to know.
The best Indian documentary of the atrocities committed by the British colonials is the movie :Sardhar Uddham (2021) it's the most accurate depiction of that time. It's application to the Oscars for Best International Feature was cancelled due to quote: "projecting hatred for the British" Y'all should reaaaaally check that one out.
This is the most diverse group of critics gathered at a table, across the meatieverse. A strawberry blonde, a brunette, and a dark brown-haired homo-sapien, sharing opinions about stuff here.
NGL, I loved the three of them argue about how the movie gets cartoon-ish and a bit unrealistic at some parts. You never get to hear such open-minded takes in India. Oh, and fun fact: They shot the Naatu dance sequence at Volodymyr Zelensky's residence. (PS: Relatable moment when they were disappointed that RRR wasn't in the original language on Netflix. Local streaming platforms in India are getting annoying xP)
Guys, if you are fan of The Godfather and Goodfellas, Please watch "Gangs of Wasseypur 1 and 2". It's one of the greatest movie to have come out of the Indian Cinema. The movies is set in the hinterlands of India spanning decades and generations, and the story is about the coal mafias and politicians. Trust me after watching this movie...you will have a whole new appreciation for the Indian cinema.I know rrr is alll about bravado, bromance and epicness but this is movie is on a different level and the acting in this movie is some of the best you will see in the whole wide world. You will not be disappointed that's for sure. Even, Martin Scorcese applauded this movie.
We are unapologetically Cheesy! And that's why Indian cinema is doing well in Asian continent because for us, every action has to have a clear emotion. That's exactly why it struggles to breakthrough in the West. But we don't want it to change as well. We love the songs in the movie. It makes it a theatre going experience. Also, Music industry in India is huge. If a song does well Eg Naatu Naatu, it hits atleast a billion streams across platforms bringing in the audiences to the theatre and also making some revenue on the side. James seems like a depressed person. Good luck to his partner.
Ya'll should check out "SARDAR UDHAM" next, its most realistic representation of British Raj in India Available on Amazon Prime, it is the best Indian film of 2021
The contraversy arised due to the fact north indians weren't aware of south indian freedom fighters. The look of both the characters are accurate. Real life rama raju dressed like ram.
James was disappointed because of his expectations, this wasnt ever meant to be schindler's list, its a commercial movie made to be enjoyable, compare it to marvel and not schindler's list. If you want a serious movie about independence movement that is made to be accurate and realistic, there are many options the most recent of them being sardar udham, give it a try and you might enjoy it.
You guys must review "Bahubali" because it truly is an epic, has all the qualities of a parable and connected so much with the Indian audience Thematically and emotionally it will give you guys a great insight into the Indian culture and its roots apart from an incredible story. I hope you guys make it happen someday
Another thing to add while watching Indian cinema including telegu/Tamil/south Indian movies, I think they tend to incorporate mythical elements. Their protagonists are often portraying heroes from Hindu mythology and the moves are showcasing some version of the fight between good and evil (Ramayana or something similar). That is my personal takeaway.
@46:40 when raju says... "lets kill scott", bheem's buddy tells that he and his brother came to delhi for malli. Hence Ram suspects that the lacchu's buddy is the shepherd
RAMA RAJU's outfit at the end was THE most historically accurate thing in this fictional movie. If only people could type his name and do a quick Google search before SAYING THINGS.
1) the reason Netflix has only Hindi version outside India was probably because people don't really know that India has so many languages and most of the people especially westerners think we have a homogenous language (Hindi). 2) the movie was shot in both Hindi and Telugu, the other languages it has were dubbed but every shot was done twice, one for Hindi(in which the actors actually spoke in Hindi) and one for Telugu (in which the actors spoke in Telugu)
55:00 Nope, after intermission it goes to ram being promoted to special officer, where he gets special rifle and then in the shooting range it goes to flashback.
Raju or ram is suppose to represent lord Ram in the ending who finishes the epic and bheem who is represent hanuman who carries lord ram on his shoulder. SO they didint do bheem dirty coz the ending represents the legends of ram n hanuman
The song in the native language is so poetic. Too emotional also coz it is the penultimate release of the legendary writer sirivenella sitarama sastry garu. It is masterfully written in its original telugu language. Please dont insult it. it is really basic/ cheesy when u translate and write in english.
Street markets (even now) are full of diy, customisable items for sale that's made in front of your eyes. From bags to clothes to bangles. And that bangle making which I've seen is like a polymer clay that can be hardened quick. He inscribed tribal patterns that reminded her if the same her people wore in their jewellery and clothes.
Having just watched it, it was definitely hard on the soul having enjoyed a movie so much and then hear someone not vibe with it at all. As a British Asian, seeing people with my skin colour shoot people with my accent in the face had me hooting and hollering. Edit: After the Trump comment now I'm not entirely sure this guy knows how to watch movies jk
thanks for the review..

No offense. One thing I understood is that you didn't watch the movie properly. Bheem doesn't want to bring his friend Ramaraju into any trouble by asking him to help save Malli. Bheem is not flirting with Jenny. Since she is kind-hearted, he want to befriend her and enter the Mansion to get to Malli. Ram is just teasing his friend about Jenny. Since she talked to him, he is teasing him. While rescuing Ram, Bheem used the same music beats of Nacho Nacho/ Naatu Naatu song. The bangle has the artisitc marks of Gond tribe which reminds Malli that her brother is coming to take her back and give her something to remind of their village. Ram asks about Lacchu's brother bcz initially when they met, he said he will take him to his brother. It is common in India, to call other persons as brother. I think it's common everywhere. One clarification is that, it's not a propaganda movie. There was no discrimination towards any other religion. In telugu movies, there is no propaganda.
@1:09:25 In fact, the opposite. In India, it's the teens and much younger people who are shitting on this movie citing the reasons you did. While older people are loving it.
@1:01:01 even in the song, they are on their missions like bheem feeding the animals, looking at the building for malli... ram getting a portrait of lacchu, chatting with his uncle about places to cover, searching for the shepherd (there is a shot in the song in which both ram and bheem walk side by side next to a fence, and there is literally this lyrical line that says both are on the same path, but searching different things)
Love this movie so much. One of my favorite moments is during the Naato Naato dance party scene, and Ram taps out to let his bro win and look good in front of Jenny. Just.... ah it's amazing, pretty sure this is movie of the year for me. Edit: just have to add that it's strange how our western cinema tries to be so much more gritty and real, but RRR ends up feeling more truthful in a way. Like if this was a hollywood film, there is no way in hell Ram and Bheem would have been able to reconcile after all the deception came to light. And that might be more realistic to how things would play out IRL, but only because most of us lack the humility to admit when we're wrong, be vulnerable, and apologize.
im a native telugu guy and liked the movie but never felt it was meant it to be soo big . i believe this was some genius market shit, it was already extremely hyped when two star actors were said to come down. I knew this would be largely circulated and marketed in india and around the world for the south asians. This is definitely not indias inception, there a few amazing movies which i believe deserves appreciation from all around the world
What you believe has absolutely no bearing on what the reality is. Also marketing? What marketing did they do specifically in the west? Pretty sure you can't tell because there was none except releasing it on Netflix. It's success in the west is based purely on good word-of-mouth. Deal with it! Your reaction doesn't seem normal to me. It's as if you are having a burnol moment. Sad for you hahahaha.
WOW I LOVED THIS PODCAST! Indian fan this side and so much to say but I will restrict myself to only this since I feel you guys were really seeking an answer to this:- The OTT action and dance sequences are more or less universally accepted as a means of entertainment among the Indian audience where we too engage in this "suspension of disbelief" in order to merely enjoy and have fun, no matter which region of India we belong to. We have seen a lot of larger than life, massy films (and characters) acquire iconic/cult status throughout the evolution of Indian Cinema and thus it has pretty much become an indispensable part of our movie experiences
watch these 3: British does owe reparations, Oxford Union, Shashi Tharoor argues why British rule destroyed India .. , British raj to be blamed for diabetes in india by wion
@LTT. I get how you think of this movie in general. Living in the US and coming from that part of the world. Think of these movies like Japanese “Anime” but like with realism added. Love your videos overall. Watched every video from the LTT group.
I lived in the United States when I was invited by white woman too ! And it is not unusual ! .. I dated a few white women too lol .. of course I did speak English very well.. alright , if you have seen the movie the valet, the protagonist’s mother who is a Spanish lady sleeps with a Korean guy! Either of them don’t speak other language! It is just romance !
Comparing Indian cinema with America cinema is quite a misplaced attitude. First of all American and Indian culture, history, and civilazation roots are poles apart and different. Saying that Indian cinema has musicals what American cinema had couple of decades back is grossly ignorant observation. Indian cinema always had musicals as music dancing is an integral aspect of Indian culture, society and people. Please do some research before doing a podcast if you want likings of Indian audience too.
There a lot of indian movies with stupid action scenes and indian audiences dont just buy it. The reason we like this ones "stupid" scenes is just coz its presented in a cool way. Like cap america has super serum for us protagonist are simply mythical and a lot of such characterisation is lost in translation
Then why do black widow & Hawkeye never get killed by a single alien in whole avengers franchise though they are humans like us? Why does Hawkeye never run out of arrows? Tell me the logic of superhuman strength of those people.
@@pokemonitishere202 That's why the are called movies of Superhero genre..... But yes RRR was a kind of fanfiction movie so the protagonist's having superhuman strength was still acceptable.....but most of the south indian film makes all their Hero into superhuman which is a fact same with their bollywood counterparts.
I know RRR came into your sights due to it grossing so high. But imo it's a very normal typical movie. If you want something that's Indian Cinema and recently released, Watch Vikram. The movie is a joy to watch. It's just super duper exciting to watch the thing. Honestly you will have a fun time watching it.
one suggestion for guy who rated this 4.5/10 .. and everyone else i case you wanna watch different kinda Indian movie.. watch Sardar Udham this would blow you mind for sure.. based on true story too..
I'm always fascinated by how little colonial education is given to people in the "west" if you will, this movie absolutely sucks but aspects of it play on my heartstrings and that alone would give it some credibility. Glad you covered this, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now, I Know The True Meaning Of The Title Of This Movie "RRR" (Rise Roar Revolt)... The First Segment, "The Story" Is The "Rise" Part Of The Movie... The Second Segment, Both "Fire" & "Water" Is The "Roar" Part Of The Movie... The Third Segment, After The Title Card Appears.. Is The "Revolt" Part Starts... Some Facts About RRR (I Know You Know).. Ram is Like SHRI RAMACHANDRA (LORD RAM) Sita Is Like MATA SITA (Wife Of SHRI RAMACHANDRA) And Bheem Is Like SHRI HANUMAN (A Devotee (More Than That) Of SHRI RAMACHANDRA), Here's Why, Because In Mahabharat (An Epic History), BHEEM Is Son Of GOD PAWANA DEV (GOD OF AIR/WIND) AND Also HANUMAN Is Son Of GOD PAWANA DEV (GOD Of AIR/WIND), They Are Half-Brothers..., And Also In The Final Scene Of Jailbreak, BHEEM Carrying RAM, Like SHRI HANUMAN Carrying SHRI RAMACHANDRA.... RRR IS SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF IT'S OWN KIND... RRR Has Over-the-top Action, Drama, Romance, Bromance, Deep Meanings And Every Frame Is A Art, Even The Songs Are Meaningful To The Movie... And Not A Single Scene Is A Waste, It Use Those Scene For Battle...
Not all Indian films are epic, over the top, historic and high budget busters.... well, that's what's gaining the high amount of recognition world wide but I'd like you to check some grounded stuff from the southern and the North Indian cinema as well. They're not necessarily bollywood but here are some suggestions from a few directors and Actors where you can start from 1. Films of Anurag Kashyap (Gangs of Wasseypur part 1,2) 2. Shoojith Sircar's "Sardar Udham" (Got rejected for an oscar submission due to political reasons of how the film potrays against someone but it's very dumb of them to cancel on those aspects since we have films like Schindlers' list) 3. Lokesh Kanagaraj's Kaithi and Vikram.... (A universe of it's own) 4. Hey Ram by Kamal Haasan ( Like literally, he wrote, acted, directed, produced and is also a dance, make up artist, choreographer, Technician, singer and a lot of other things you can explore) 5. And for nice romantic films that hollywood might not have ever done or seen is a film called 96 by Vijay sethupathi and Trisha
Bheem never thought that Jenny was gonna sleep with him .. it is just that Jenny was nice to him cause he gave her a ride and Jenny just invited him to the party! … it is just common courtesy
In the bridge scene they did not talk because in dehli they speak hindi but these guys r from andhra where they speak telugu so in order to avoid confusion not knowing hindi they used signs to communicate
i watched this while on a trip to india with my dad’s entire side of the family and god i couldn’t have had a better audience to watch this with. everyone was just laughing for 30 straight minutes during the last fight as the stunts got crazier and crazier. loved it for that reason, being badass and also just really funny
NICE REVIEW ON INDIAN TELUGU CINEMA RRR BAHUBALI MAGADHEERA EEGA SO MANY LEGENDARY MOVIES ARE COMING FROM TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY IS NO1 BIGGEST AND INTERNATIONAL FILM INDUSTRY OF INDIAN CINEMA
Response to 48.58 about the faux pas about bringing natives in. If u remember in the same scene in a different room the governess was showing of Malli to her rich and elite friends including several Indian aristocrats. Its not uncommon back then to have rich and affluent indians as guests but the poor and uneducated servants were always subjugated to racism, ill-treatment and oppression
I don't understand why people say it's propganda i mean that dress it's part of our culture before any political party and it still is Indians of different point of view understand what it means for us all it means is the stories we have been hearing from our mothers and grandmothers from our childhood please get your head out there is a world beyond politics.
