RRR - The Best Movie You've Never Seen

[@Harmzz]

A proper masculine & bromance story that Hollywood are incapable of making these days. Loved how Bheem represented water and Raju represented fire. The cinematography and soundtrack were top notch too.

You can't really generalized Indian cinema as a whole, each region has its own industry and each industry has its own character, strating in hindi, Marathi, Telugu, kannada, Tamil, Malayalam and countless others whose stories and characters are a part of the local culture.

[@BrokenTooth]

One of my favorite scenes in the movie, which nobody has mentioned in any review, is when a random guy (not even a supporting character) trying to flee from the British soldiers with a little girl in his arms. He gets shot, and then the first thing he does is toss the girl to another guy who then runs away, while the first guy falls down and dies. I can't express how refreshing it was to see a portrayal of men signifying their ability to sacrifice their life for a little child. After getting sick and tired of Marvel, Disney, and Star wars movies where the little girl would probably build an iron man suit to escape that situation because 'we don't need no man', that scene really stuck with me.

I feel like audiences in India still see filmmaking as it was during it’s Golden Age, or more specifically treat it like a grand opera or theater play. The action, grand set pieces, musical numbers, and overall large scale of the film that mixes so many genres reminds me a lot of the movies that would be shown on 70mm panorama like Ben Hur, Sound Of Music, Singin’ in the rain, or West Side Story. RRR also happens to tell a story about brotherhood, friendship, love, and what it means to have all of that and protect it while also showcasing the love that the filmmakers have for their country, culture, religion, and history. Hell the film even ends with a grand music number that replaces the main ending credits that has the director, writer, and main stars dance behind a giant set with backup dancers and some of India’s biggest historic figures looming above. Which again goes back to the idea of this basically being an opera on screen with the last set piece serving as a final bow to us, the audience.

[@AbhishekKumar-vp7ey]

"" where the bad guys are bad guys because they're bad guys"" My 2 cents: Britishers ruling India were bad, you may not know as it is never discussed and Indians don't usually talk about it. But what you saw in that movie is very close to the reality of colonialism in India and Africa. The colonialists considered the Indians and Africans as lesser Human beings, due to mostly the color bias that already existed , superiority complex. The scenes depicted in the movie the torture, the dealing with Indians as almost commodities like cattle is very accurate actually. for the British it was not a question of being a villain, their perspective has been completely different and while in 2022 you may call them villains and bad guys but certainly not if you were a Britisher during 1800's.

So I reviewed this as well and basically had the same reaction, however, some of the Indian fans gave me a little bit more detail in that first act which I also said could've been cut down and was slow. What they said was that the two main characters speak the same language, Telegu. And that one of the reasons they bond so quickly is because they are from the same region, speak the same language. Kinda like two guys from the sticks move to the big city and even though they're not from the same village, they are both from the same shared culture. They also said the Hindi dub cuts out Telegu which they said is more of a lyrical kind of language, which adds more to the songs, which were lost on me. Anyhow, they said that first act has more a deeper meaning to the people over there. The many different provinces go way beyond Bollywood. There's like 11 of them?

It would be hilarious, if Indian directors started not dubbing, but making their movies in English, alongside Hindi. All the actors speak English anyway, so in most cases, it would just be a double take. It would be even funnier if they hit the Mexican/South American market by using the same sets and set pieces, with Spanish-speaking actors. The songs would need a re-work, but there are a lot of skilled translators in the world.

Well an empire ruled land of Indus valley for over 200 years. Plundered it for resources. Left it for ruins. But they didnt stop there. Their parting gift was dividing the land in four parts: Pakistan, Bangaldesh(east Pakistan formerly), India and independent princely states. Till now their queen has a stolen jewel (Kohinoor) on her crown. Obviously every film of that period would be anti british. And showing britishers from mildly to straight out evil caricatures.

U want more nuanced depiction of British colonialism. Then try watching Sardar Uddham. It's actually a Bollywood film but there is no over the top action, no musicals, and based on true events. The dialogues said by the characters in this movie are actually documented. Obviously it won't be fun to watch cuz it's a heavy drama and it's not RRR, which one of the reason why RRR worked so well in the West is bcz it's not too complex. There are plenty of Indian movies with more complex characters and grounded acting. If u are interested in those , just start with Sardar Uddham.
