RRR’s relentless march started ever since it hit the theatres, becoming one of the highest-grossing movies in the country’s movie industry. More recently, its ascension could be credited to its extraordinary success in the West, thanks to the gripping plot and intriguing screenplay. Several notable Hollywood actors and moviemakers have heaped praises on the film, adding to the legendary rise of the movie.
The film has racked up several international awards, including Rajamouli’s Best Director award from the New York Film Critics Circle. The film also won the Saturn award in the Best International Film category. The National Board of Review awarded RRR as one of its ten best films of the year. It also earned the second position in the Best Picture category at the Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Awards 2022.
Set in the 1920s, RRR is an epic drama action film that revolves around two real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem(Rama Rao), their fictional friendship and their fight against the British Raj. The plot explores the unrecorded period in their lives when both revolutionaries chose to join hands to take on the might of the tyrannical British rule.
