Rajamouli, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR’s RRR has hit the screens across the world today. The movie was released amidst excellent buzz and anticipation. Read on to catch our review of the movie.

Story:

Set in the 1920s era, the film RRR unravels the fictional journey of two of India’s freedom fighters, Alluri Seetharama Raju and Komaram Bheem. Can Rama Raju and Bheem revolt as a combined force and make a ruthless war against the British? Will they be successful in their mission?

Performances:

The film, RRR is powered by spellbinding performances from the lead cast. Jr NTR and Ram Charan were excellent in the roles of Bheem and Ram respectively. These two powerhouses combine to fuel the machine which is RRR, and they come up with great performances.

NTR’s portrayal of character Bheem, which symbolizes the water element in the movie is ethereal and the same with Charan, he exudes aggression and ruthlessness through the course of the movie and elevates the fire element. Both the actors have come up with career-best performances.

Alia Bhatt essays a brief yet impactful role, she is pure class and lights up the screen whenever she makes an appearance. Ajay Devgan too grabs a small yet impactful role and is at his usual best. Samuthirakani and Shriya give their best in supporting roles. Bheem’s love interest Olivia Morris is beautiful and performed really well.

Technical Aspects:

The captain of the ship, SS Rajamouli is one of the finest Indian moviemakers in this generation and his vision, execution, and grit are of elite quality. It is not easy to execute a movie as big as RRR and he somewhat manages to reach audience expectations. The emotional quotient of the film, RRR is not on par with Bhahubali series.

NTR’s entry block scores over Charan’s and the Naatu Naatu song is brilliantly presented. The film has a strong narrative and both the actors set the dance floor on fire. The pre-interval block is neatly presented and it packs a punch, but there is a bit of lag in the opening stages of the first half.

The second half starts off on a rather dull note and later it gets better towards the climax. The particular sequence where Ram has to punish Bheem gives an emotional high to the viewers. The climax is divided into 3 fight scenes which have high moments for the fans and the film ends on a high.

MM Keeravani’s background score elevates the narrative and his audio album is just okay, but the background score is of his usual best standards in a few crucial scenes. Special mention to some brilliant work from the person behind the lens, Senthil Kumar who captured the visuals exceedingly well. The production designing and VFX and CGI are perfect to the Indian standards.

Positive Points:

NTR and Charan’s performances

Some emotional and action blocks

Keervani’s BGM at times

Negative Points:

Lag in both halves

Lack of strong cause for the main conflict in the story.

Overall Verdict:

The movie is fueled by stellar performances from the cast. Despite the occasional lag in both halves, the movie makes for a theatrical watch and it has the potential to set the box office on fire.
