RRR
“RRR is putting Tollywood cinema on the world map—in the most epic and unforgettable way possible.” —premiumbeat.com
RRR is an exhilarating, action-packed spectacular mythologizing two real-life freedom fighters who helped lead India’s fight for independence from the British Raj: Komaram Bheem Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) and Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan). Set in the 1920s, RRR imagines a fictional meeting between the two, set into motion when a young Gond girl is stolen from her village by British soldiers. With a powerful message, staggeringly choreographed action sequences, and musical numbers, RRR brings sheer big-screen joy start to finish.
