A historical feature film about Indian revolutionaries confronting the British invaders. Against the backdrop of these events, the destinies of two kindred souls intertwine, who at first do not realize that they are on two sides of the barricades. Personal losses, making hard decisions, struggle with themselves and with the oppression of a powerful, advanced state in the person of the governor (also quite charismatic) - this is the basis of the story of the Indian movie RRR.
That would be the end of it if it wasn't a fucking INDIAN movie. If you haven't heard of it yet(s), I'll warn you right off the bat - this movie will literally splatter you from the screen. Every scene is accompanied by bursts of epic in your head (there is a section of the brain that is responsible for perceiving epicness, but I've forgotten what it's called). If you think the familiar and much-loved spiders from No Way Home have the coolest entrances to the scene - let them hold the feni of Mr. Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao - who slings some mud at the first second of his appearance, but does it in a way that makes you want to buy it with your last money. Well, not literally the same mud, but something from that line. In the next second he fights a tiger with his bare hands - but that's an ordinary thing, especially for a movie like this.
His spiritual brother, played by Ram Charan, is the epitome of beauty and charisma contained in such a fiery (attention, story reference) bad boy. I caught myself thinking that the actors especially open up and feel really confident in the dance and song scenes. That's a surprise, isn't it? I hasten to comfort someone and upset someone: there are about two dance-song episodes in this movie, but they are done in a wildly cool and exciting way - and, imagine, very normally embedded in the plot. In this regard, I was extremely pleased with how proud and enjoyable the Indians are of their culture - and it's obvious, but also awesome. That's essentially what the first dance scene was about. The second one is practically the ending of the movie, a reflection on the events that have taken place and JUST BEAUTIFUL.
The hypertrophy of action, for which we so “love” Indian movies, gives it the atmosphere of a large-scale epic, confrontation of demigods, rather than some idiocy.
I advise you to watch it quickly.
Yes, for such a chrono you can get tired of the amount of epic and the lack of any laws of physics. Yes, the movie lacks seriousness, with a fairly serious topic, actually! But you won't regret the time spent and will think “Oh my God, this is the top Indian movie of all time!”. That's what the Indians themselves say. Does that mean you become one of them? Yes, yes and again no, of course not, why would it! Well this is a really exciting adventure that pours liters of creativity and a bit of historical excursion on you. RRR means Get up. Growl. Protest!
