 RRR – Forum Mall – April 16, 2022

 

What a fantastic movie to watch! SSR had clarified that it is a work of pure fiction. He turned it out to be a movie, where one cannot even tell it is a work of fiction – it was so much real like. The first thing that needs to be appreciated is the effort that has gone in to bring in early 1900s in front of our eyes without any gaffes. The art design, dialogues, costumes, set properties – everything reflects the research that has gone in. SSR has attempted to differentiate the fire (Ram Charan) and water (Jr NTR) in every frame they are in the screen. While Ram Charan displays raw aggression, fiery eyes, stiff face, regulation, Jr NTR shows calm aggression, compassionate eyes, friendly face and humility. None of the songs got registered in my mind, except for the small stanza that Malli sings in the opening sequence of the movie.

 

The action sequences are a delight to watch – of course, keeping aside the logical flaws that are rampant in them. Prominent of them all is the way in which the heros of the movie (especially Ram Charan) recover almost instantaneously from any grave injuries – be it the whip with nails, the primitive claw that Bheem uses, arrows, heavy beatings et al (the arrow injury in his left shoulder vanishes in a matter of minutes!). These could have been avoided.

 

A must see movie for everyone. During a period when Kollywood is going through a big void, these movies (RRR, KGF, ASN, Bahubali & Co) are a real refresher for a movie goer.

 

Btw, this is the second Telugu dubbing movie I have watched in a theatre, first one being Police Lock-up in Krishnaveni theatre during early 90s.
