Hello. That's what I said. Movies from the 60s was the golden age of INDIAN cinema, all over the country all regions and languages.

The motives for creating fan culture are very simple and I've outlined them. They allow movie makers to make lots of money with shoddy movies because they know the stupid fans will lap up and shit that is provided. And that is what has happened since the mid 80s. (now it is finally changing). So undeserving movies and people in power are making a shitload of money. Then they have actors joining politics and using that fan base again. Why are so many south indian actors in politics..? Then I also point out that this will not happen if there are pan indian movies dubbed in all languages because then the competition will be real. Sub par movies and actors cannot drive respect due to fannism because they will have to prove their worth to all Indians.

Naatu means raw as you mentioned, or natural and untrained. The meaning is NOT lost in hindi. Desi Naach here does not mean country dance. Desi kind of means junglee. As you have Naatu chicken in Andhra, in North there is Desi Murga. I've mentioned in another reply calling ANY of indian indigenous regional dances as Naatu is an absolute insult. Indian regional/folk dances are not naatu. They are evolved over centuries and have standard steps and beats. The entire purpose of the director calling the dance Naatu is exactly as a parody to the standardized highly trained western dances that he is challenged to. Now surely there will be some moves that they take from somewhere, after all even choreographers have to get their inspiration from somewhere, but in essence Naatu is Naatu and folk dances are not naatu/untrained/raw etc. They are highly evolved art forms. Thanks.

Good Observation! Yes this movie is all class.

Hi. Yes, that is exactly my point. The boulder is NOT heavy enough for the tiger which is why the tiger doesn't get lifted and trapped but remains on the ground. I'm sorry if the video wasn't clear on this. Thank you.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis I'm sorry, I think I was not clear in my comment. I understood your point and was actually very happy to find this video, because it frustrated me, that this trap was shown so well and way too many people still missed how and for what animal this design should have worked. I just wanted to give additional context with the actual weight of Bengal Tigers and Indian Wolves, because you seemed unsure about it. I thought maybe it would help someone in the future to understand your point even better, when they realized, that Indian Wolves are not heavy at all.

Oh. I get it. I over estimated the weight of the wolf. Thank you for that!

Hi Bruce. Ya, they don't give any background explanation of how he got in touch with a 'random' muslim family. Maybe he had contacts or found a sympathetic family. I guess we'll just have to leave that to suspension of disbelief. About Bheem being a child of the forest and knowing his way around town, well that's what I said about Gonds. There are millions all over India and many are in urban centres doing normal jobs. So its likely he must have visited cities before. In fact maybe his father worked in a town (maybe even Delhi) so he must have learnt things. We see he is technically minded, so I guess we'll just have to assume he had spent ample time in his life learning his way around towns and also technology. Apologies if thats not satisfying, but its the best I could do :)

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis Thank you so much for your quick response! Well, I guess if you didn't understand that part either then I shouldn't feel too odd that I didn't either. Perhaps I will write a letter to director Rajamouli and his father and just ask them about it and see if I hear back from either of them. At this point, I'm thinking it is just a very curious "plot hole". (Many excellent movies have strange plot holes. Sometimes it is an error in the writing, sometimes in the editing. Many "plot holes" only get noticed because people who love the movies watch them multiple times...) Some plot holes you can just dismiss as unimportant (such as -- where does Raju acquire his sandals during his after his transformation to "Lord Ramma" in the forest? Did Bheem pack them for him before the rescue?) because it isn't really essential to the story, and at that point in the story -- all realism has been suspended anyway.

@@bruceblakeslee2751 Well just to add some more context. The historic Komaram Bheem (the freedom fighter) is said to have sometimes disguised as a muslim to avoid being caught. (But its not absolutely historically verifiable, but its an urban 'legend' for sure). So maybe the director used that legend to wind into his story. The other thing is that Gonds are not muslims. So it makes the perfect disguise for a Gond. Did you notice the scene when Raju is snake bitten and before applying the medicine Bheem prays at a place of worship. Well that's not a mosque, its a Hindu temple (I mention this in my vid). And then you see Raju's eyes flare and the musical notes hit with perfection. Well that's the first time Raju realises that Bheem's been lying to him.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis Helpful information about the real Bheem (about whom I am entirely unfamiliar, and thus am unable to determine fact from fiction). I caught the reaction and the musical cue as Raju sees Bheem at the shrine, and your comments were helpful in understanding it, but the writer embeds two other instances of explaining his pretense in the script (so that even if you missed it, you can figure it out anyway). So much of this story is so visually well-told that I suspect one could follow it even with the sound off! 😀

@@bruceblakeslee2751 Apparently Rajamouli has a 'show, don't tell' mantra.

Thanks! Do share.

Thank you! Glad it as useful to you.

Thanks for the vote of appreciation! Yes, indeed the beauty of this movie, or of all masterpieces for that matter is that even if you can't catch on to all the cultural nuances, its still enthralling, and that is RRR. The great movies are the ones where the more times you watch the more you learn! Abrigado.

Hi Gautam. Thank you so much for the detailed comment. Learnt a lot of things here. OK, so when I say its a parody, it does NOT mean its silly. I will attest that this is a MASTERCLASS in parody. When we follow the scene, RC and NTR counter high traditional dances with Naatu, or Desi, which essentially means 'natural' or untrained, and therein comes the satire. There is little meaning lost in the hindi version. Its essentially the same thing. Now, RC and NTR could well have countered with classical Indian dance forms like Bharatnatyam, but the audience would be bored to tears. Its meant to be fun. Coming to folk dances, I will have to disagree with your assessment that these are not a form of finesse. Folk dance in India (Lok Nritya) is an evolved dance form and has been so for hundreds of years. These cannot be called Desi or Naatu (which by itself is a frivolous adjective for such an evolved dance form, and surely a lot of proponents of this dance form will be offended by calling it Desi/Naatu). I am Garhwali and one can't just go and go berserk in a folk dance. There are steps set to music which are traditional. Also do the lyrics come off as folk dance? Folk dance music is set to generally village life around festivals or appreciation of the devas. You call Indian folk dance as unpolished. I disagree. The very fact as you mention they have standardised names means they are a specific dance form. Now about the part 'disgusting'. Please check the video, maybe it didn't come off right. I don't say the dance is disgusting. Only the pelvic thrust. That's why the English guy interjects right there. That's why the director + choreographer decided on the interjection at that point. You need to take your argument to them. And yes, pelvic thrusting is 'disgusting'. You will not find it in any traditional dance form. It was started by Elvis and mastered by Michael Jackson. Its that recent. In the Indian context I would say it was started by Mithun, carried on by Govinda and mastered by Prabhu Deva. Can you show me any old movie dances where guys are pelvic thrusting. Yes, we are used to it now and it looks cool, but this movie is set in 1920, and absolutely, it would be abhorrent to look at back then. And that too in front of women. Boss, all I'm saying is that Naatu means carefree, freestyle, natural... Its an antithesis to structured trained classical here. RC and NTR get the 'stuck up' crowd to lose their inhibitions, which is the brilliancy of this parody. Naatu cannot mean traditional folk dance style. Then I did say that any quality choreographer can choreograph this, and I was proved right as we all saw the performance at the Oscars. The original choreographer was not at hand. And also the lyrics. Not much is lost in the hindi translation. Indian folk music does NOT have crazy lyrics like this. See, being Indian I wouldn't say something to hurt feelings or belittle any traditions. All I did is follow the script and the plot. In fact its the other way round, I'd say calling folk dances as Desi or Naatu would be a bit insulting. As Indians we are used to seeing 'anything goes' dances in our movies with no plot context. In older movies most dances are set to festivals or have a good reason to be 'Naatu'. Here the director does an excellent job at finding a plot sequence which allows for this kind of high energy freestyle dance (which we are used to seeing), as a satire to traditional dance forms, giving him the liberty to go Desi/Naatu style, and yet keeping the audience engaged and the storyline intact, which is why I call it a masterclass in parody. Thanks once again for the great comment, and I hope others read it too.

Noted! I think changing the channel name resets everything. Not sure though. I did make short clips of this video but they don't get much views. Thanks for you support!

Hi Sudheer. As I mentioned its a parody. Its meant to be light and humorous (and surprisingly well intertwined with the plot). Tango, Flamenco are considered 'classical' European dances. RC doesn't retort with classical Indian dance like Kathakali or Bharatnatyam. He says do you know Desi, or Naatu (or rustic). There is no dance called Desi or Naatu. This is NOT rural dance, which is folk dance and is highly structured and traditional (Lok Nritya). Naatu is not a representation of Indian dance in any form (Indian music YES, but not dance). As I mentioned, any great choreographer can make it, and we saw it in the Oscars. See it like this. Imagine that English dude Jake did two steps of Kathakali, and then of Odissi and then Bharatnatyam. And then said can you do any of these? And then RC says 'not Bharatnatyam, not Kathakali my friend. Do you know Naatu?'. From an Indian perspective it would be much easier to see the parody.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis It’s not a frivolous parody is what I mean. Yes it’s not any particular established dance form big or small but the intention of the heroes is to show a kind of dance of the streets of India, a more natural dance form that comes from the heart. It’s not a dance off between finesse and frivolous parody, it’s a dance off between finesse and natural…think of it as a dance on the streets during Ganesh procession…it’s not a dance form per se but it’s kind of impromptu that comes from the hearts when they’re filled with Ganesh festive spirit.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis Probably there is no equivalent to Naatu in Hindi…in Telugu it means hardcore local/original/no adulteration …we call natural Chicken as Naatu Kodi(hen)…on the menu we have Chicken curry and then Naatu Chicken curry as a separate item

The word is 'Desi'. In Hindi we also have Desi Murga (Desi Chicken). As opposed to Broiler chicken or farmed chicken. Well I didn't call the dance frivolous. But thanks for the comment and hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysisI hope this comment reaches you.. Brilliant job on th video.. people need to know the nuances... However, There is one point I don't agree on. You telling that Naatu is a parody dance and it doesn't represent any dance form, but a random choreography. Yes, it might feel disgusting because we ourselves are from urban areas and so we have a certain negative perception about folk arts. But that doesn't mean they are disgusting. This Naatu Naatu song is actually trying to normalise the folk arts as well in the eyes of general Indian populous, as we are more and more going away from our culture and we are neither interested in the sophisticated classical arts nor we are interested in the "over the top folk arts". At least it has to make us appreciate them for what they are without judging them as uncivilized, just because they are not sophisticated enough. The NAATU NAATU dance is based in a specific dance form from Telangana region called "Teenmaar" which has been around for more than 100 years... It is a village folk dance form,... And it is performed in every occasion, festivals, village goddess procession etc... even till today in rural areas. And also, the lyrics were not random and nonsensical. You might've lost the meaning in Hindi translation... Or subtitles. The song is portraying the daily routine activities of a village person in the rural India... And using them as similes to how their outlook should be and their mindset should be... While singing, dancing and enjoying without any constraints, using their native rural local dance form. (Which is nothing but Naatu) And all the lyrics is written by the lyricist based on his own childhood village experiences. LYRICS: -Like An Ox which jumps into the paddy field -Like the folk celebration of the dancers participating in the procession of annual village goddess festival -Like the fast but accurate stick fighting martial artist trained in the local stick fight art called "karra saamu" -Like how the village youth come and gather under the Banyan tree to spend their days and evenings, hanging out, playing games, and enjoying with the innocent childlike joyfulness. -Like the thrill we get while eating Jowar roti with Mirchi paste, a staple food in rural areas See... My song is Naatu (rustic) like that It's rustic with Bravery (Veera), it's rusticness of our ways, The nativity embodies the craziness as a Mirchi, and it's as whimsical as a sharp dagger -Like the vibrations of the rural drum beats (dindora) that shakes the heart beat leaving it thumping hard -Like the shrill sounds of the loud village birds that poke holes in your ears -Like the gracious rhythm that makes everyone flick their fingers -Like the legs automatically start hopping lifting the dust up -Like the overwhelming hyper energetic dance of "Veerangam" (done on Shivaratri) that make stge while body sweaty See... My song is Naatu (rustic) like that It's rustic with Bravery (Veera), it's rusticness of our ways, Like how deep it goes when you pierce a crowbar into the field, and like as mental as one gets on a sultry day -Dance fulfledgedly -as if sending tremours through the ground... When the blood rushes and boils like a thunder in our body -by jumping and hopping, as the very life force is about to come out ... Lifting the dust in the air with its force ************** This lyrics just memorizes all the rural India activities, experiences, their mindset, carefreeness, innocence, and leading a joyful life with whatever they've got... And embodying all that emotion while dancing, displaying the heart of the rural India through their rustic dance form (Naatu) as a juxtaposition to the so-called sophisticated flamenco, salsa.. which the Britishers feel as superior... and defeating them in their native rural art form itself. ************** Just to clarify, there are broadly two types of arts in India throughout the country at different levels. 1. There are the classical arts : classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam, kuchipudi, odissi, etc... And classical music like Carnatic and hindustani... Etc. 2. There are folk arts as well in our country. These are more prevalent with tribals, as well as in villages. For example : Dappu, Lambadi, tappeta, veeranatyam, garba, kajari, kolaatam, Naga dance, Garhwali, Teenmaar, chaarmaar, Domaar, etc... And these folk arts are not about finesse but they are celebration of life.. which become part of the celebration for any event ir festival or occasion by thise people. Here specifically, NAATU dance they are referring to is a form of rustic village folk dance form based on the "Teenmar" of Andhrapradesh/Telangana... And it does have pelvic thrusts in it as well... FYI. It is a structure-free style of high energy dancing based on folk music that generally is composed in the 6 8 time signature. So even though Naatu dance is not a classical finesse dance of India, it is still a distinctive Indian village dance form .. and it's not a random choreographed dance... Which is meant to be a parody. This Naatu dance is something which is as much local as it gets.... Absolute village rustic local dance art. What I feel is that in the song NAATU NAATU, they are exhibiting the most primitive unpolished product of that region they come from and are challenging the Colonial Britishers showing they can't even keep up with such an unpolished art form of India... Then what to speak of the actual structured dance disciplines which can get as much intricate as any art form can get. The purpose of the song is that "we are unapologetically embracing the nativity, our villlage background and this crude folk dance form is enough of a weapon for us to prove our superiority in arts and challenge the stereotype of Indians being very primitive uncultured people who doesn't know art..." And hence achieving an ideological win over the Colonial Britishers. Because ultimately any art whether classical or folk art everything is ultimately an art and every art has its own beauty. Ofc the classical arts have more finesse, structure and polish but that doesn't mean folk art is to be considered something inferior. Anyway great video. This was the only point I don't agree with... Hence I explained it here about it.

So nice of you!

Actually... I would say in Delhi, being a muslim is the perfect cover for a Gond undercover. The reason is simply because there are no Gond muslims. That way Ram would never have thought about suspecting Akhtar to be the Gond he is looking for.

@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis Actually Vijayendra Prasad garu told that reason in an interview.

Yes. I mention it, that when Ram sees the sacred thread, that's when the second beat hits as muslims don't wear that. And the 3rd beat is when he identifies that its the same kind as the person he had in custody. Its a 3 layered buildup: 1. Akhtar at a temple 2. Akhtar keeps a sacred thread 3. Its the same as Lacchu's.

Yes. As I mentioned in the end, the film industries of India in the past 30 years or so played the game of divide and rule, so that they can keep their loyal audiences and feed them crap. The real dirty trick that Bollywood plays is being a mouthpiece for North Indian Hindi belt when it is actually located in a region where Hindi isn't even spoken. In turn it has also destroyed the Marathi film industry. Remember Dadasaheb Phalke was a Marathi film maker. So Bollywood located in Maharashtra plays the divide and rule between North and South. If Bollywood was located in the Hindi speaking belt region, like UP MP, none of this would have happened.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis though I consider your point but I don't think if hindi film industry is based outside of Maharashtra, they will eventually make forget about good but watchable films because mainly the Bollywood consist of Punjabis who have more love for Urdu, English and Punjabi than hindi. So if you take same people from Mumbai they will make same old sh*t. In my opinion regional industries should emerged as haryana, Rajasthan Madhya Pradesh and many other states should make their own films in their own language and dialect with nice technicians as malyalam or Telugu are doing. On dada saheb phalke, i would he is learned man who knows about our history and culture that's why the first film he decided to make on Raja harishchandra.

@@aniketgautam9230 The point I was trying to make is that if Bollywood (or Hindi film industry) is based in a Hindi speaking place then, if say they caricature South Indians or Tamils or Gults, then you can somewhat pin the blame on North Indians. Right now North Indians get a bad rap for something they have no control over. Just reverse it. If Telugu films start making fun of Gujjus then at least one can point to their industry and people, and corrections can take place. Now say the Telugu industry was based out of Kolkatta and started caricaturing others. People all over India would start hating Gults for no fault of theirs. That is essentially how retarded the Bollywood setup is.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Hi Aniket. I didn't say the whole dance is disgusting. Ofcourse not. Just the pelvic thrust. Tell me any traditional dance form that has pelvic thrusting. Its a new fad started basically by Elvis and MJ. Again please remember the director/choreographer put that there for a reason too, at that very moment. Once again, it is definitely the new normal now, but this is 1920. It would have looked abhorrent back then.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis well actually i am talking about pelvic thrust not considered asdisgusting step atleast by general public here. If you attend any simple marriage or festival in India, you will see two men shaking their chest area from some distance to each other. Now someone from outside India may consider this disgusting but in India it is normal. This pelvic thrust step is quite normal in songs in Tamil and Telugu movies with no se*ual connotation attached to it.

@@aniketgautam9230 I agree. It's normalized now, but you need to take your argument to Rajamouli and the choreographer who decided otherwise. That's why the interjection happened at that time.

Thank you Padmini. Do watch the whole video. This movie is full of gems.

Hello Smileyperson. Itne pyaare comments ke liye bahut bahut dhanyawaad. Yes, as I mentioned Indian cinema has gone on a steep decline especially since the 80s. I also make a point that this is no accident, it is by design. Just imagine if you had watched 'Bhakt Prahlad' as a 5 year old in 1967! Your mind would have been blown at the technical film making and story telling. Indian cinema has been ruled by some kind of mafias since the 80s. It is in the 80s that the expression started 'If you want to watch a Bollywood movie, leave your brains outside the cinema hall'. This never existed before. While Bollywood has suffered from Dawoodification as you correctly point out, even the South cinemas (Telugu and Tamil in particular) has also seen its trend of stupidification, as they too are mafia controlled. The end result as I mentioned in the video is that Indian cinema has become garbage, wherein the movie makers can make shit movies and still make money as they have controlled any real competition. That is why RRR is a such a breath of fresh air and a masterpiece because its success has nothing to do with its star power. Who knew Ram Charan or NTR outside of Andhra/Telangana. Outside India nobody even heard of Rajamouli and today he's an international brand. That is the magic of this movie. Will there be a positive change. As I mentioned in the video, I really hope so. But then who knows. One thing is for sure is that Rajamouli and Shetty have raised the bar, and made the other directors look like amateurs. Just see Pathaan. It looks like some teenagers with lots of money put a crappy movie together (plagiarised ofcourse). You mention that it felt that India was a single unit back in the 60s with their style of films. Actually India still is. Its just that the film industries have been compromised. That's why I said that in the 60s all cinema in India (all languages) was very classy and the concept of pan-India didn't exist, it was the norm. Only now we are having to label it thus. Watch RRR or Kantara, there is NO feel of regionalism at all. I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Do share it with other RRR fans. Take care.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis yes bro, aur sabse sas baat ye hai ki even the pathaan itni clearly Crap hai, it's making mad box office. It's saddening that the people don't understand the power of the consumer, they actually love this undercooked fastfood somehow. I don't see bollywood ever making anything along the lines of rrr and kantara. Let's hope that all the channels of illegal funds is cut to bollywood and only the free markets govern what happens with it.

Thank you!

Yes. There were many controversies, but I think it's eventually cleared.

Thank you for the kind words.

Its a great idea, but history is tricky and sometimes formal accounts and local accounts don't match, so I've tried to stay out of it. The figures you see are from all corners of India and span from Shivaji (late 17th century) to as recent as the mid 20th century during the independence movement in India.

Thank you Shagun!

Thank you!!

Very well put. Yes, as I had mentioned that Oscars is truly a farce, and in the last line I mentioned that I only have 'hope', and the reason I wanted RRR to be in the Oscar race is only because it is still the greatest platform to showcase this great movie. As expected, the committee snubbed it from the best movie nomination. And as I mentioned they'll nominate a kid's movie like Avatar 2. About Aamir, as I mentioned, he is talented, no doubt. But growing up in the 80s/90s, and knowing full well that EACH and EVERY Bollywood movie shamelessly plagiarised scenes, themes, music from Hollywood, it basically left a bad taste in my mouth, so I have no respect for the Industry and any of those so called stars. Dangal was good however.

​​@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysisHow r u saying Avatar 2 a kid movie Pls this is ridiculous. Avatar has improved the standards of the movies to 20 to 30 years ahead pls don't degrade Avatar Thank you for the support for our RRR film but pls Noway to decline the bars set by Avatar

Yes.

Naach means 'local group dance'??? I don't think you know Hindi.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis no maybe not... I cannot tell you the exact meaning but definitely lowly or uncouth are utterly wrong translations ... It could be Desi would translate to probably local. or belonging to the country , nach is dance ..

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis It more refers to street dancing to the beats without any standard form or rules. Doesn't mean it is LOWLY. It is the way of expression of the masses to the certain context. It may not be done the same way again and again. It doesn't need much practice. That's Desi Naach and in India owing to its diversity, we have many versions of Desi Naach depending on the region people come from.

@@RaviTeja-pb7kn So in Hindi, Naach is a lower form of expression for Nritya/Natya. Dance is also a higher form of expression than Naach. Desi here means rustic or unsophisticated. Its the same in Telugu with Naatu.

@@rrrmoviereactionreviewanalysis Can you please highlight the sources that mention that Dance is the higher form of expression than Naach? To me nothing is higher or lower. Naach/Nritya/Natya.. It is one and the same. Desi also donot mean rustic or unsophisticated. And sorry, No, it doesnot mean the same in Telugu. The term Desi, is more inclined to mean Swadesi / Local. Naatu objectively meant in this context to be crude/simple/rudimentary/rough. Not the subjective interpretation of unsophisticated or lowly or rustic. The performers taking pride in their rough or crude way of dancing

Fair enough. We always have moral justifications in our epics, but I was just looking at this dispassionately. Just the historical facts and actions. And once we get into dozens of more instances in our ancient epics we will see the common thread of extreme women entitlement and empowerment. All I was saying is that the team did a good job of having the governess fit that mould. Thank you.
