'RRR'

Perhaps you've heard of the phenomenon that is "RRR." In addition to being the most expensive Indian movie to date and setting several worldwide box office records, the Telugu-language action-drama has won the praise of critics and audiences from around the globe. A three-hour epic set in 1920 pre-independent India may not sound like the kind of blockbuster today's crowds are groomed to enjoy. But this is no ordinary blockbuster. "RRR" may anchor itself in rich history, but its very much a work of wild, unbridled fiction. And the sheer audacity of what we see on screen is cinema excess at its very best.
