RRR
When RRR (trailer here) first came out, my social feeds were filled with jaw-dropping clips from the movie, and I instantly knew this was something worth watching in the theater. It took a couple months, but I finally saw the movie, followed by a director’s Q&A with S. S. Rajamouli. I truly mean these next few words: That night was one of the best theater experiences I have ever had. Not only did RRR blow me away with powerful performances from leads Ram Charan and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. (my new favorite bromance), masterful storytelling, and a scale that is rarely seen in modern films, but the audience itself created a uniquely magical experience. People were laughing, crying, and on their feet and dancing throughout the theater. Especially during the absolute bop NAACHO NAACHO. I can’t recommend this film enough to pretty much everyone, but if you are a fan of action films this may go down as one of your new favorites. Prem Rakshith must be mentioned, as the action sequences, which varied between giant scenes with 2,000 extras to the intimate one on one fight scenes, were flawlessly choreographed. Let’s hope it continues to get the global recognition it truly deserves (Oscar nominations please). Go watch, sing, and dance with RRR on Netflix!
