Update: It seems like many viewers wish that I had addressed the political controversy surrounding the film. Originally, I wanted to talk about it in this video, too. But the complexity of contemporary Indian politics is not something I can became an expert on by simple Google searches. It's also inappropriate for me, as a Chinese-Canadian, to attempt to be educational on it. With that in mind, I won't be able to provide any more context that Patrick Willems' did in his video. Which is why that topic is ultimately left out of the script. If you'd like to know what's up with the controversy, give his video a watch! It's honestly a pretty rad review. -------------------- There are more thoughts I have about the film that I couldn't fit into the videos, including more personal critiques. But that's enough about me. What do you think about RRR?
@@blackadamrockzzz4439 dude liking this movie and supporting modi have no relation. I do one and don't do the other, it's perfectly normal lol. And anyway this film does not even pretend to be the next Pather Panchali or Nayakan, it's a blatantly commercial movie just meant for entertainment. Such movies are not EXPECTED to have the logical brilliance art films have.
@@blackadamrockzzz4439 "ohhh see me I am different I am cool coz I don't like mainstream and popular stuff" Cry about it!! What illogical plot? The movie was about friendship of 2 freedom fighters and the drama that happened between them and I think it succeeded in that department (so much that West was thinking it's a gay love story). Yes you could say that it was convenient that Bheem found Sita but for a movie there has to be some conveniences ? How does this make the movie stupid or bad? And even if plot/script is a little ridiculous (in your eyes) what about the other elements? The awesome music and the awesome action? Also sorry for giving genuine points coz from the modi remark it shows you have no brain so my points will be worthless. Edit : Also I am not saying it's a masterpiece or a perfect movie but it's definitely not "the stupidest movie of all time"!
@@blackadamrockzzz4439 Bro I can understand you not liking the movie but liking/disliking a certain type of movies doesnt makes you superior than anyone. Also, this movie has nothing to do with Modi. Indian film industry produces a lot of patriotic movies each year and more than 80% of them fail at the box office let alone collecting a figure around 1000 crores. Your last sentence is true but other than that, you are just being annoying for no reason. I also didnt enjoy RRR as much as most of my fellow Indians but its still one of the best movie experiences I have had since the last 5 years so it must have done something correct.
I would like to know your favorite Rajamouli movie from all his movies that you have watched. BTW I am a big fan of your content. Thanks for creating such great videos!
@@tvts5157 I really like Eega for some weird reason. It's far from his best or even most entertaining, but something about how far it pushes that ridiculous premise to the extreme really captures my fascination.
Let me clarify something, the girl probably isn't the hero's little sister (at least, I don't think she is if I remember the movie correctly). Calling someone your brother in many Indian cultures is simply a sign of respect, you may have been confused by that.
I believe they also do this in Chinese and other Asian (and pretty much many other ones worldwide, even amongst communities here in the US) cultures so I'm surprised to hear he didn't pick up on this
When I was in Singapore. I had an Indian male friend there. I asked why most Indian males are seen walking while holding hands. Yeah initially I thought it was gay. Then he explained that it is common with friends. They are proud to display their bonds. Then we tried. He explained that walking while holding hands with a buddy makes it more enjoyable because the pace and stress are shared.
Yes Bro, it is common among friends in India... 99% male relationships are pure friendship only and no physical / no sexual relationship in India. We will be teasing each other and will treat each other family members as our family.
real men are confident with their sexuality and don't care what other thinks --- gay in the closet always feeling insecure and scared to be seen and judged as gay
yeah thanks but no thanks. next thing you know they'll say you should try sucking each other's d!cks there's nothing sexual just male bonding and friendship
Indian men certainly don't hold hands where I came from and where I now live. Are you sure you were not in a gay area of Singapore? Male children do hold hands, but adult males definitely don't!!
One thing I only noticed on my rewatch is that when Ram is whipping Bheem and some of Bheems blood lands on his cheek. He wipes away the blood, but at the same time he is discreetly wiping away a tear. Just a beautiful, poignant moment that showcases how he has had to cover up who he is, break everything he believes in, and work for his enemies. At the same time, the fact that he does shed a tear when in earlier scenes like the protest he remained completely stoic, shows that the facade is breaking and he can no longer force himself to work for the enemy. It’s pretty cool how they loaded that much subtle symbology in a movie that’s filled with bombastic and over the top sequences
Did you also notice the huge chunk of meat Bheem carries in the friendship montage song? It foreshadows what happens in interval fight when Bheem unleashes the fury of wild animals in a British party..
@@trendsstter60 Yeah he gives it to his homie who puts it in a hole where it is dragged in with what sounds like a tigers growl, great detail I missed my first time but noticed the second
Maali is not Bheem's real sister, they are from the same tribe... It's very common in India to call eachother by some relation, even if you they are strangers...
I believe they also do this in Chinese and other Asian (and pretty much many other ones worldwide, even amongst communities here in the US) cultures so I'm surprised he didn't pick up on this
'Many western might conceive it as gay' made me laugh because here friendships is the strongest relation. Many movies have showed that very well . Western in place of making moves for open emotions tries to make every relation sensual. People can be very loyal, loving and caring being friends
Even though this film is far removed from my own culture, I really felt like a child watching this film. It speaks the universal language of emotion, excitement and fun. A lovely piece of cinema.
The fact that this was released around the time of Elizabeth's death with the most scathing depiction of the British Empire ever with such a positive reception is absolutely legendary.
God I'm so happy someone talked about the aspect of RRR that no one discussed "healthy display of emotions".Most people are saying RRR showcases toxic masculinity but for me it showed men can be powerful and have emotions in them too, they are not just some legends unhinged by the level of difficulties in front of them, they laugh when they are happy cry when sad and depend emotionally on people around them.
Lol them showing their affection for each is other is literally the opposite of the definition of toxic masculinity. Those people must have no idea what they are talking about
Calling it toxic masculinity is the sign of people who aren't watching movie but still want to be felt relevant in the discussion, so they grasp something that will surely sound "progressive" to attract attention.
meh. maybe for the whiteys, but for any grounded indian, the concept of toxic masculinity is ridiculous, and the idea of men not emoting is also ridiculous.
Only if ssr made this as a indian fantasy world movie instead of real world movie , over the top would have been justified and many people would have praised it.... They should not have put this in a real world setting
That is a fun observation. If this cast and crew had attempted Dragon Ball, it could have been better than the anime ever was. I can't see anyone but these guys being capable of combining bombastic action, simple and pure emotions, and absolute earnestness. But I don't really need it. Big as a fan I was of Dragon Ball. It is not a story worth adapting even if they coild
I watched RRR with some friends and we loved every second of the 3 hours length from the exagerated to true cinematographic moments, one of the friends even watched it 2 more times with other groups of people and those people made other watch, truly one of the best movies of the year.
I watched this twice... a second time with my parents (which aren't "fans" of Indian cinema). Halfway through the snarky comments stopped and my father was completely into the movie. He even turned on again to watch the rest of the movie after some technical issues, that's how good the movie is.
@@Stribog1337 It's just pure unadulterated fun sometimes and Hollywood seem to have forgotten how to have that in some aspects, but scenes like Ram with his father and Bheem torture really capture the epic but melancholic side talked in the vídeo, true cinema.
Everything, Everyone and Everybody are waste 🤮🤮 When They are compared to KGF 😎💪🔥💥 KGF is world No. 1.. This RRR and Bahubali are nothing infront of KGF 💥😎 👊 RRR is terrorist movie 😠😡🤬 KGF is brand of world cinema 🔥
As a Korean-American with little to no tribal sense of national pride for either country, I was still able to feel the grand patriotism through the sheer force of the storytelling and filmmaking even if I have no connection to India itself, heroic characters making resourceful use of their flag and fauna to fight for justice, or dancing triumphantly to honor their freedom fighters makes for AWESOME WORLD CINEMA if I’m tribal about anything, it’s gonna be about awesome moviemaking… …enough to see it 4 times in theaters, spread its gospels to many of my friends and family that end up loving it, learn the Naatu dance, and make my own Telugu/Hindi audio composite fanedit for my own digital collection
You're Korean so you are related to india like most of the Asia countries especially south east asia due to the Chola Empire a lot of Asian countries were sanatanis before Buddhism took over and i believe that one of the Korean queen was of Indian origin
Using "tribal" as some kind of a slur. Humans ARE tribal animals. There's nothing wrong with it. Tribalism is how you got civilization. There's no such thing as complete "individualism". At the end of the day you are still part of a tribe and the system it creates, and you have a duty and responsibility towards it and repay the favors it has done to you. If everyone was individualistic atomized drone, then civilization will collapse.
I don’t know man, maybe it’s because I’m Mexican, but the themes on this movie hit me hard. I was almost on the edge of a life catarsis or something. Seeing the heroes unite for their nation made me tear up.
@@liverbot4854 true, they took their land by force and deceit. They forced them to further west and south bit even then their hunger was not satisfied They killed and scalped them. You know their is this saying is asian countries "you don't trust the west " which holds true. The fact that they even dropped two nuclear bombs for pearl harbor attack which killed millions of people. And still japan is in love with America and European countries.
I don't have any friends as well because everyone around me is either stupid, an asshole or both. But I don't feel personally attacked by that comment.
People are enjoying this movie so much in the west without even knowing all the layers that are presented in the movie. 1. The first layer is just the masala movie with the epic action sequence, epic dance battles, epic rescue and all the epicness this movie has. 2. Second layer is that the two protagonists are based on real life indian freedom fighters. Their final looks in the movie is what they were actually like in the real life. You can find statues of both these great people in real life. 3. The mostly missed mythological layer that many people miss is the reverse Ramayan in the end. Ram being trapped in golden Lanka and sitha coming to rescue her. Bhim ( who was supposedly the reincarnation of lord Hanuman) going to save lord Ram and burning the whole Lanka. This movie is a masterclass in itself. These layers just make it extra special to those who are giving extra attention.
4th layers the emotional backstory of 2 characters with alternate methods but each achieving the same goal and ultimately transforming their characters for each other. Bheem saves the nation while ram saves the little girl
God, I felt so dumb at the end. I pointed out the Bow of Shiva a few hours before it got used to a friend. But I didn't even realize Ram was supposed to be Rama until the last action scene Literally smacked my forehead when I realized and then like 5 seconds later I did it AGAIN when I realized Bhima too. (In my defense, I only read the Ramayana all the way, I've mostly just absorbed Mahabharata through cultural osmosis)
@@arpitpatra oh oh oh someone on youtube pointed out how the bridge scene shows this perfectly. Bheem's mission was micro>macro (save the girl) and so went for the boy. Ram's mission was macro>micro (save the country) and so went for the flag. But then they swapped (flag for boy), showing how each of the two of them have to learn the other's ways - Bheem learned the value of macro>micro and Ram learned the value of micro>macro by the end of the movie - which doesn't exactly pick a side over the other ofc maybe Ram just needed to wet a thing and throw it to Bheem so that the latter could be protected when swinging into the fire/smoke
The first 9 minutes was a great insight into the movie that I was looking for. I am American and know almost nothing about Indian cinema, and I was floored by RRR. Thank you for this video!
Here are some recommendations if you want to watch more Tumbbad( horror ) one of my fav 3 idiots ( comdey drama) Bahubali 1,2 ( from same director absolute killer movie my fav) Kal ho na ho ( rommance love story )
The best video I have seen in the recent times...Especially these lines.."When dealing with mythologies,You don't question Hercules strength..You just simply enjoy the poetry of it"...Glad you have described the essence of this movie so well..Keep going...
Lol it is not mythology They are freedom fighters Freedom fighters had brain, Shubhash chandra bose got to hitler for army and ammo But our hero fucks his own people, and that too thousands at a time, just for some guns, tell me one freedom fighter who got guns by such methods, Bhagat Singh, and his partners got guns, bombs, but they did not hurt any Indian This movie murders logic and cinema Indian movies are not like this, this is shit at its peak No revolutionary did wrong to his own countrymen just for few guns This is absurd If you want to see indian cinema, watch Gangs of wasseypur, lagaan, andhadhun, etc
I love this line and personally now thinks ppl need stop nit picking and sometimes enjoy the cinema as ppl used to do in the old times instead of questions every other scene which doesn't fit your logic.
I'm not of indian decent at all, yet, this movie made me feel so overwhelmed with pride that i don't have, lol! I love history and India's history is one that I studied for the fun of it. Seeing this movie made me feel some kind of way! Lol! It really did bring me to tears lol! I always love your takes and very thought out ideas about movies! You either brings things in to perspective and even help me articulate what I want to say about a film.
Most of the people and critics are loving the film even without getting all the subtexts and metaphors and symbolism behind most scenes.... Thats wat I call a true cinematic Experience... Even if u dont get/understand subtexts and deep rooted metaphors u still enjoy the film unlike most critic fav films where if u don't pain ur brains to understand the metaphors u wont be enjoying the film... Symbolism should be a cherry on the top and not the cake itself... And this film proves that exactly!! If u understand those subtexts u begin enjoy it even more....
thats exactly how a movie can transcend languages, cultures and countries. i knew after seeing that it would be huge but i guess no one expected it to blow up at the international scale.

Bahubali was so good too. Love Indian epics. Also love old Bollywood romance movies too. Something about those old Sha Ruk Khan movies were so timeless. People have just been sleeping on Indian movies for too long.
From "no one talking about RRR"....to "everyone talking about RRR"......this movie has come a long way.... Shit....i feel so bad for not having watched it yet.... whereas each and every person in this world has watched it...... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just watched this movie this weekend and I literally cannot stop thinking about it and listening to the soundtrack. I’m definitely checking out more Indian films. Truly a masterpiece.

Watching this video after a friend suggested it, having never seen the movie. When I saw the two protagonists together, Gilgamesh and Enkidu immediately came to mind. This is to say that I agree with your point about these two being portrayed as larger-than-life humans, almost deities.
7:24 This idea of "immersion" really prevents a lot of Western audiences from understanding Asian storytelling as a whole, besides Indian moves, Japanese and Chinese media also often don't portray realism that caters to immersion. There's so much metaphors, analogy, symbolism, signs etc. and just straight figurative speech that goes over the heads of Western audiences.
What are you talking about? It doesn’t go over our heads that’s stupid. You don’t understand what immersion is, it’s the world making sense with itself and logic so that you can believe it’s a real world that’s immersive. It doesn’t have to be realistic to our planet earth as many stories are not. The lack of logic in many eastern films is a good point to criticise rather than something that is simply “going over the westerners heads”.
@@maxdavis7722 Yep your post is prime example of going over your head, bringing up "logic" shows that you don't know what Eastern storytelling is about
@@GuyWithAnAmazingHat you can have a story based on symbolism and mythology without sacrificing logic. The two things are not mutually exclusive. Eastern films do not have to pick between one and the other. Eastern films can prioritise symbolism and mythology, that’s fine and cool but it’s silly to ignore the criticism of immersion just because you believe it doesn’t apply to eastern tastes.
The world has taken a step to understand and enjoy Hollywood/English type storytelling. Maybe the western audience can take a step and make an effort to understand asian cinema.
The characters of Alluri Sitaram Raju and Komuram Bheem in the movie RRR are depicted as having the strength and skill of "Lord Ram" from Ramayana, and "Bhim" from Mahabharata, two of the biggest historical epics of Indian culture, so that's where the inspiration for the portrayal of these characters comes from, we are already very familiar with Ramayana and Mahabharata so we already had a general idea of the degree of strength and feats they could be accomplishing in the movie.
Bro but it's disturbing that some indians here are saying it's sangi movie ....religion movie ect.....the makers you mythological referance only. .....some fools saying it's propaganda ?
From the way I experienced the movie, I was able to gather that there is an homage to mythological characters. I don't know the myths, so I cannot make any further connections, but to me ot seemed like the movie didn't try to go that route anyway. It didn't want me to comsider them as those mythological characters, only that they embody them. It doesn't want me think that they are actually those gods of myth.
@@MarcRitzMD for your clarification those are not mythological characters. They were the part of Indian history. Ramayana and Mahabharata is the well documented history of India.
10:33 The reason I got convinced was, that even though the hero is strong.... he cannot attack the mighty British empire just like that. even taking the help of 100s of his people he wouldn't be able to do, as the fight is always between guns vs bare hands/swords. As he has born and bought up in the forest, he and his tribe have a lot of familiarity with animals. So he picked that as his strength and he executes that plan in the intermission scene with all animals.
and it's not like they made Bheem some Master Of The Animals type person with powers who can talk to them and command them at will. in the palace entry scene he had to fend them off of him as well
I saw this movie on a streaming platform and love it, since four years ago India's movies got my attention, it is a very good movie! Saludos desde México!
Here are some recommendations if you want to watch more Tumbbad( horror ) one of ny fav 3 idiots ( comdey drama) Bahubali 1,2 ( from same director absolute killer movie my fav) Kal ho na ho ( rommance love story )
There is lot of other symbolism too. The British lady dies on spikes which she loved to torture others with. Scott died with the same bullet he thought was more precious than indian life. The bridge scene is a symbolism of summary of entire movie too. And not to forget all the references specific to Indian culture and history. Even the dosti song is filled with so much symbolism. Even the clothes of ram were in yellow tint and Bheem were in blue tint.
@@claudius3359 no. It's a creative choice. Because in the movie Ram is fire and Bheem is water. So Ram got fire's color which is a shade of yellow while Bheem got water's color which is a tint of blue.
Something interesting is how this film uses the idea of scale, but often through seemingly opposing tricks. The obvious is the use of the slow pan across a wide frame, meant to show the sheer scale of the set. But another, less obvious one is whenever the camera begins to zoom in. In these moments, the camera slowly but steadily focuses, as other actors or objects move or are moved to make space, before finally revealing the (often grandiose) performance by one of our heroes. So, yes, the scale of the world is made clear, but just as importantly the power of the protagonists are made just as transparent by how they use said power to essentially bend the cinematography to their advantage. It’s a subtle thing and I’m probably looking too deep into it, but from what I’ve seen it’s really interesting.
@@ArghyadeepPal that game is shit actually, it looks more middle East than India in the game, character looks like a Muslim guy from Pak instead of Indian guy.....lots of wrong cultural misinterpretation too..this a good new game is needed with full Indianness...
Though Slumdog millionaire was a movie set in the Indian backdrop.For most Indians it didn't felt like an Indian movie.Guess no one can give the Indian movie experience like Indians can.
Yepp, danny boyle got it wrong, I love his other movies but that movie is just the most common perception of India in the west that is shown by the news channels .
@@incognito5416 I remember when I was in my Village we friends used to hold hand, hug, and walk with arm around best friends... After high school I learnt English watched 2000+ movies and stand ups... Now when I go back to village, I feel too uncomfortable with my friends holding hand ( sometimes i yank my hand out involuntary) So Yeah how we get brainwash by movies , I might be best example.....
Only thing that came into my mind is that this is how every live adaptation should be made for any anime. Realistic but still grand, over the top and full of sensation
I loved the friendship scenes too. I think the 2 leads were so good at playing flawless superheroes that they got even more out of the scenes by able to change to more human performances in those scenes. It showed the feelings were genuine, but also something rare for a mythical hero
better than any Hollywood action movie of recent times and leagues ahead of any Marvel/superhero movie which are just lazy, shallow and running on automatic now. RRR had heart, soul, passion and love for the craft which is sadly missing from big blockbusters these days
I watched this movie twice, nearly back to back, and loved it both times. It didn't even feel like it was 3 hours long, it's so well made and thoroughly entertaining.
I loved Baahubali so Ill have to watch this one! It just felt so pure and unashamed on top of having like peak cinematic feel and amazing choreography. Thinking about it more by pure and unashamed, it was like the purest form of unashamed masculinity while the most badass character was a fearless older woman. A celebration of virtue (duty, courage, adventure come to mind) and a denouncement of weakness (fear, control, selfishness, ego, betrayal, deceitfulness).
Oh hope you watched the sequel too! I personally loved the sequel more than the first part (partly because of the better musical score) but also because the story felt more satisfying in the second part
The evil British guy is one of my favorite actors, I saw him in a show called Rome (2005). It lasted for only two seasons, but it's one of the best shows out there. As usual great review Accented Cinema...
I am person from Telugu people from where the actors and makers are come from growing by watching them Feeling very proud and excited every one in this world talking and feeling about #RRR india cinema from Telugu language feeling very good.
That is really cool to know. Corridor Crew were one of the first channels to comment on the movie and they loved it a lot. They had only praise for the CGI too. Indian CGI is so underrated.
@@MarcRitzMD i think its not, its not well known to the audience but those who know what and how vfx works might be aware of the work done in Narnia. outsourced,
Blender is so powerful, i started learning a year ago. i still working on incorporating elements, its another universe, flexible, traditional and expansive I think.
@@MarcRitzMD Almost every hollywood blockbuster(including every Disney era MCU movie ever made) has 100s of Indians working out of India on the movie's CGI. Outsourcing CGI/VFX to India is not a new business model and has been a thing for more than a decade. Indian cinema effectively leveraging its existing, highly experienced and talented pool of animators is a recent phenomenon.
The funny thing is every country has it's own definition of toxic masculinity. Whether in movies or real life,at least in my culture, it's perfectly normal to see close friendships between men and for men to show emotions.
True. Every Indian man has said this to another Indian man in his life. Atleast once. "your friendship is dear to me more than life". So, this is not myth. But absolutely realistic. Every Indian man hugs, cries, holds hands of other Indian men, while being completely straight. Crying infront of same age men, friends usually. Only infront of women and children they're forced to be strong. But rest of toxicity used to be there. But it's true to its time. So, fair enough. Like, men HAVE to be the protector as women are kept safe. THAT'S the toxic masculinity people are complaining of. But it was 1920 for heaven's sake!
Men has always been the protector . Even today from nation to family men protect everything . Even girls love men who has strength , power , money , ethics
@@preetamyadav7952 naah that's wrong perception, I'd prefer a man who is not afraid to show what he feels doesn't matter if he cries in his weak moments because these are the things what makes them humans and help them connect to their partners, friends and family. Don't be shy express yourself and you will be loved.
The way you described some of the elements of the movie reminded me a lot of the LotR books, which were deliberately written by Tolkien as an epic tale for a West that had lost touch with its roots and spirituality. It is also notable that some of these elements are often misunderstood by readers or were misrepresented in the movies. I find it funny to think that to make a definitive movie adaptation of the LotR books it would take an Indian director
@@PDBisht first example would be that LotR characters sing a lot, like when they are burying Boromir or approaching Edoras. In addition, LotR characters are capable of feats that go beyond human nature, like Boromir scaring the Balrog for a moment with the blast of his horn
Dude you gotta watch "detective byomkesh bakshy" its so well written and has tones ofcreative shots. Honestly its my favorite Bollywood film of all time.
here i am regretting not watching this in theaters on a ginormous screen with ear shattering sounds. there was a poster up at the movie theater that my friend worked at and when i looked at it i thought it would be fun to watch because the poster looked cool. THEN I FORGOT-
Cinematic experience is whole another level for this movie. I went blind with very negative mind thinking I'll be ranting by the end of the movie, but ended up watching 11 times in theatre.
I think over the top Drama, Action, Comedy and most important Emotions are common essence throughout all Asian cinema like Chinese, Indian, Korean or Japanese movies. And we love it!
Glad you really went into the deep root cause of why Indian films are over the top i.e pointing to culture, the origin of cinema, etc. Great research and observation!
RRR remains my favorite Indian film released this year at least as of September, and it's virality amongst cinephiles and certain international (re: beyond South Asian or NRI) audiences I find particularly fascinating. That being said, I feel many viewers new to mainstream Indian cinema and South Indian Cinema (SIC) in particular are misinterpreting the movie's supposed impact & influence, at least in the short term. I've watched classical to modern Hindi (Bollywood) filmmaking consistently since the early 2010s and SIC starting a little later. Since my now-wife and I started dating (she's Telugu), I've watched about 2 dozen SIC (mostly Telugu, Tamil, or Malayalam) features a year since 2020, so I feel I have a decent enough "outsider's" perspective to comment on this: The reason why RRR is so effective has little to do with its story, premise, pan-Indian status, or major stars, and most everything to do with its auteur director, Rajamouli (thus, I would disagree w/ at least 2/3 of your arguments explaining "the importance" of RRR). Rajamouli's blockbusters stand apart from most other high-concept SIC & Hindi films the way James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Matt Reeves, or Denis Villeneuve rise above the likes of so many Marvel, Fast & Furious, or generic fantasy movies in Western Cinema. There's no reinvention of cinematic formula so much as a heightened precision of directorial execution in screenplay selection, cinematography, editing, and the basics of characterization. To think RRR is in any way representative of Indian cinema writ large is like saying 2022's Top Gun 2 is an accurate benchmark for Hollywood. Neither are average, but significant *deviations* from the mean execution and directorial control of their respective industries, in many ways a *reaction to* the shortcomings of other would-be similar movies. Top to bottom, Baahubali, despite its lackluster CGI, which RRR frankly suffers from as well, remains a far more important and financially successful trendsetter than RRR is likely to be. RRR isn't even the highest grossing Indian film of the year, unfortunately (KGF 2 outgrossed it), while Aamir Khan's films like Dangal, Secret Superstar, PK, et al. have had just as impressive overseas box office success, if not more so. In other words, I'd argue RRR is best described as the continuation of Rajamouli's dominance throughout SIC blockbuster filmmaking, but its status as a trendsetter for South Asian film in general is questionable.
Yeah it irked me a little when he said its the biggest indian movie. Bahubali is clearly at the top closely followed by dangal. To me RRR wasn't anything different from other blockbusters this year like KGF, Pushpa, etc.
Yes without BAHUBALI there is no RRR, going by this trend KGF's success is a sign of better things to come in that genre aswell, but the trendsetter will always be KGF.
I think it is high time accented cinema made another video on Malyalam movie industry(From the southern state of Kerela). It's literally an unexplored world of "Accented Cinema", unexplored in India and the West. It's not as much of glorious spectacle but the storytelling can easily beat most of western cinema.
The only Malayalam movie I saw is Bangalore Days. Because it's the only Malayalam movie I found after scouring the entire Montreal area. Why aren't Indian cinema more popular in the West!
@@AccentedCinema Actually, Malayalam industry is the most consistent with great storytelling, and this is coming from a Tamil guy btw. And I'm not here to recommend some, you could literally start anywhere. (Premam, the Drishyam franchise, Hridayam are some from the top of my head)
@@AccentedCinema I'll say they're always incomplete in some ways. Many movies will just end up like a cringe fest, lack in storyline or visuals won't be good. Normally A Tamil or kerala movie won't even be promoted among Hindi speakers to watch.
@@AccentedCinema I can somewhat explain this. Speaking as an Indian-American, Indian cinema is unique in the sense that it can be said to be too diverse. There is no national language in India but Hindi and English are the official languages of the national government. There is no one national language that every Indian knows and speaks. India has 26 states but 22 regional languages; my parents are from the southern state of Kerala where the regional language is Malayalam. Given its large size and population, it's more apt to compare India to Western and Central Europe or the European Union in terms of how diverse the languages are depending on which part of the area you're in. Because of that, Indian cinema is segmented by which language it's filmed under and which could be understood by the moviegoers. Basically, if I want to watch a French film, I know it's going to be in French. An Indian film though? Not nearly as clear cut and simple. Related to that, Indian-Americans as a whole only make up 1.4% of the US population. When you combine Indians being a small market demographic in the West along with many languages that Indians can speak, you can sort of understand why Indian movies don't get that much releases in the West. I'm thankful that the movie theater where I am near Tampa, Florida tends to show Japanese anime films and a variety of Indian films (in different languages like Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu) for a few days when they come out. So I don't face the problem of an availability drought as you do, Accented Cinema. That being said, if you want a Malayalam film recommendation, I would recommend the latest Prithviraj film "Kaduva". It's about the conflict between a rubber farmer and a police chief and the moral ambiguity in between. Really great drama film. Also, I highly recommend checking out film reviews from Jimmy Cage. He regularly watches and reviews tons of Indian movies of many different languages and I've never been let down by his movie recommendations. Give him a look. Maybe you can even do a collab or two with him? Also, a few other video essay recommendations, if you don't mind? Daniel Netzel's "Why Grave of the Fireflies Had To Be Animated" video, StudioBinder's "How Satyajit Ray Directs A Film" video, Fight Scene Film School's perfect breakdown of the Storytelling in the fight choreography from the recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and for a laugh, helpmefindparents "What kind of Asian are you?" . The main actress in that skit later gave a stellar performance in the South Korean film "An Ode To My Father". Check these out if you got the time and interest. Anyways, does this answer your questions?
I love the singing and dance scene, love it. Plus, I feel like showing early on these two characters have supernatural strength and feats allows for them to be believable when they take down the badguys at the end of the movie.
One thing you only slightly mentioned is that RRR does not make use "immersion" as western films do. Rather, it makes use of rasa aesthetic theory, which aims to elicit emotions from the viewers.
Re: corniness, I think where some other countries often go big in terms of over-the-top action, America tends to go big in terms of over-the-top grittiness. The mythical male heroes of modern Western cinema are Scorsese leads more than MCU heroes. Unfortunately they're all degenerates, but in terms of the scale and scope of the cinematic vision, I understand why Travis Bickle, Jordan Belfort, or characters like Arthur Fleck or Dirk Diggler made such huge celebrities out of their actors.

We're all literally from the same country and both of them are South Indian movies so please, just don't. And wake up from your delusions, you're embarrassing us
I watched many reviews and videos made on RRR and I liked many but this is the only channel I subscribed to just after watching 7 mins into it. The research that you did was dope man. Being an Indian I can't even explain to someone how Indian movie making has evolved from the early stage to present. U did it so well
My best way of describing this movie to friends is that it's pretty much Devil May Cry the movie. Insane over the top scenes, the subtlety of a soap opera, but pure genuine fun enjoyment. Glad you made a video about it and exploring indian films!
From the clips in this video that is exactly what I was thinking and dear god if you've seen it and are thinking that then I'm gonna have one hell of a party
By far, RRR is easily my favorite Indian movie simply for it's wonderful blend of awesome action sequences that's a cross between classic Shaw Bros kung-fu movies and 80's action movies such as Rambo 3 and Die Hard, catchy & stylish musical rhythm, fantastic cinematography, and a well-written story about friendship, family, freedom, and pride. 🇮🇳✊🏾

I love the movie so much, and one could spend hours talking about the things they loved about it. With all the hype around it, people are not really in the mood for real criticism of course. There are some parts which could be criticized. And while I could think of stuff that is worthy of criticism, I don't think the movke could be improved. For example, over-the-top villains are worthy of criticism. But they had to be over the top for the film. It would not have been as good if they weren't over the top.
For all the reviews so many people still miss a few important things. Like for example the scene in the climax where Ram shows up in traditional clothes with Bow and Arrow. While they correctly mention that it is indicative of Rama from Hindu religions, that is still the subtext. The main reason Ram looks that way in the scene is because it is where finally the look of the real-life 'Alluri Sita Rama Raju' is revealed. It is the look reveal scene for the Telugu audience. Imagine a film going on for 2 hrs with someone called bruce wayne investigating murders, and then he finally he comes on screen as batman, or a clean shaven Abraham lincoln finally showing up in his iconic bearded look etc. It was a hoot-worthy moment in the movie.
unfortunately, acts of the British are NOT as over the top as you may think. Colonists did unspeakable things in colonies. British literally caused the great Bengal famine (Churchill the hero behind it). They opened fire on thousands of people and killed them all. In my country, they massacred all males who had the remotest claim to the throne, burnt down 100 000 fields, killed live stock and made people flee the area. The damage was so bad that the district remains one of the least developed to this date. The events were documented by the British officials themselves. The British "landed proprietors" would shoot any commoner who would dare to step on "their" lands without permission. They exploited local women quite badly too.
I would always prefer Rajamouli's Eega ( where a housefly is main protagonist ) and Bahubali 1&2 ( Historical epics ) over RRR. But i loved how you described this film in a different way than others youtubers and critics. Big fan of your works since your PARASITE video.
I would describe this movie as East versus West in a form of East meets West. Inside of the story itself is the representation of the gods using the two men as Avatars to save their people and the country. The over the top action is accompanied by the imagery of fire and water, first at odds then both channeling the old ways to fight among the new. Yes, it’s overly simplified BUT it would take days to fully analyze the characterization and imagery. Note: there is a very strong theme of opposite forces being intertwined - represented by the necklace and the halves of a whole coming together.
Fun fact for Chinese people in india we call China = chini from ancient times, that chini word means sugar, in over ancient text chinese people are described as people sweet As Sugar -- but in current time over relation is difficult tho 😅
Fun Fact: Bheem - NTR in our state was called as Young Tiger NTR for past 20 years 😹, so him fighting a Tiger is Tiger vs Tiger and fan service of all telugu people. And Fire in Eyeball shot was used Ram's Father Chiranjeevi and his uncle Pawan movies that's Fan service to telugu people. Rajamouli knows fan service.
Thank you for teaching me to appreciate and love Telugu cinema for what it is; as a child, I'd grown to hate it for not conforming to the realism(which I idealized) as I saw in Hollywood. I now realise what I've been missing out on, and it's got everything to do with the love letters to cinema you write in your videos ❤️
I liked the observation on sense of scale. Perhaps Hollywood forgot to use this technique to emphasise close up shots more. Makes it hard to do "product placement" if the product (item or actor's face, body, in KJ Apa's case: his abs) is obscured by wide shots or calculated blocking as you mentioned.
I loved RRR, the character intros and action sequences were entertaining in how ridiculously stunning they were captured and realised. I enjoyed it, few cringe points but I guess that's more down to my lack of cultural understanding. I loved the dance scene, I've watched a few Indian films and always found these sequences distracting but obviously the people love these vocal mid film analysis breaks but I really enjoyed the dance scene it was good fun. Glad you appreciated the capture of emotion in their friendship, it reminded me of Hong Kong cinema which seems to nail that really well on film, like in Bullet in the Head the scene where all the friends look at each other before the possibly life ending nightclub rescue/heist in Saigon. I would love to hear your view on that film because I feel cinematically it was a thing of beauty in how the characters arcs were portrayed. I loved your video about Tony Leung acting from the eyes who also stars and there is so much of that in Bullet in the Head which I was reminded of in RRR.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation of Indian movies. The difference between making a movie with "immersion" in mind versus "religious storytelling" affects how actors portray their roles and the overall presentation of the movie. Excellent content!
Very poetic as usual, Yang! Absolutely loved the way you've summarized how Indian Cinema actually works and of course, how RRR knows what it is doing and presents itself in the rawest, Unadulterated form to be an unforgettable, full-on entertainer! Certainly one of the bests, if not the best film of the year. Hoping for its Academy nominations, because only then the stage would be set and the gates would be opened for all the people around the world to Indian Cinema! Cheers #RRR
Now that's what I call a review. It was awesome to see you covering this so beautifully. For me it was just a breath of fresh air. Last time any movie that gave me those kind of jolts were Lagaan and Swadesh. It's not a movie. It's an emotion that can be felt only by indians. Thanks a lot. Thank you very very much for this. Also many thanks for giving a shout out to my boy, Hou Yi. Do you know any other movie or series that revolves around Chang'e or Hou Yi other than Over the moon? If you do, please let me know. ❤️
The best breakdown of the movie ever. You clearly brought put why this movie was so special. I have not come across any other review which explained why this movie works, any better than you just did. Thank you so much for this awesome breakdown.
Omg! You have perfectly described what I feel exactly about the larger than life grandiose depiction related to mythological epics visualised in cinematography!!! It has to do with people growing up hearing ancient epic poems, which sing laurels of the heroes in those stories and these movies are literall visualizations of the metaphors that one will use in an epic poem like ramayan or mahabharat. You being a foreigner to get the cultural context is so amazing!!!
Im glad you pointed out the affection between the two male characters did not have to come out gay like what hollowwood is so obsessed about. Its just two men display of friendship and bonding
I feel sorry for those guys who assumes two men are gay when they look at two guys holding hands or putting ones hand on other's shoulder.. time to grow up
RRR isn’t the best Indian movie nor the best work from the director SS Rajamouli. I think every Indian would agree that the Bahubali movies were the best movies. It was more character driven with every character being really well written. That said, RRR came at the right time when Hollywood is just churning out mediocre big budget superhero movies with no heart. The emotions RRR delivers is what makes it such an international success. SSR doesn’t need to make a Marvel movie. I think giving SSR the budget to bring his grand vision to life without losing the Indian connection is important. That’s what made RRR special. It’s an Indian story that is well told.
Technically speaking, I think Eega is his personal best. The way he got us invested into a goddam fly for the entire movie is crazy. But I was way more entertained by RRR than BB series or Eega so my personal Rajamouli best is RRR only.
Bb , magadheera , eega , mariyadaramana, vikarmarkudu ....ssr best for me .... But RRR had some of the cool and stylish ssr stuffs, visuals and setpieces
Bahubali best in India...and Better than RRR?? Wth. You destroyed my mood to watch RRR. Bahubali ,,it's nothing special and compared to hollywood standards just poor movie...May be great for goosebump audiences..
Wow, what a great introduction to Indian cinema for me, giving the cultural background and why this movie is important in a way that kept me interested to hear the rest. Subscribed.
10:50 Such a level of friendship you will find in ample in Indian society. No, they are not gays. The brotherhood which is shared between men in Indian society is similar in nature. I do have many childhood friends with whom I share similar bonds. It was when I met my western counterparts where I realized they have barriers Regarding such level of friendship between men, either due to cultural phenomena or may be due to too much indulgence in material living because of which they can't differentiate between good friend and a lover.
It's mostly because we live in a culture obsessed with marriage and love between people that we turn the most basic intimacy gesture as "omg, they are in love", but it's a also a very puritan culture where openly expressing love, intimacy and emotions outside of marriage (and sometimes inside) is seeing very negative and as a sign of "weakness". It's also a very homophobic culture, so any possible intimacy between same sex people is seen inmediatly as negative, whether they are friends or not. So it's basically: Shame if you don't seek love. Shame if you express your love too much. Shame if you don't love the "correct" person.
SS Rajamouli ( Director of RRR ) always had Vision but he lacked budget...🙌 He started his career has soap opera Director, from there to RRR...🔥 The only I will recommend from his previous Films is Eega ( Fly ) It is about Guy reincarnated has fly to take revenge from the guy who killed him....💪 After RRR he has Budget now, His next films will be more universal now...🙌🙌 His next film Jungle action adventure set in African backdrop... Budget is around the budget of RRR...🔥
Let’s watch some unofficial Indian Tarzan movies, even though we’ll now know that the Indian Jungle Adventure genre has come a long way from decades ago.
Loved it. I think it also has the metaphor of Water meeting fire, which can be mutually devastating or supportive if they are utilized correctly. Meaning water and fire can cancel each other out, or they can create Steam which runs the world. Or atleast did in the time period. I don't think it is a coincidence that a steam train was the marking point when two of them meet each other for the first time. It is also a commentary on India's Freedom struggle and ethos where people of different thoughts and ideologies can cancel eachother out while going towards the same goal. But if they have the catalyst of "brotherhood" they can achieve their goals quicker.
another example of water+fire=steam was right before the interrrval, when blood mixed with Ram's tears (water) before dripping onto his presumable hot (fire) wrist, dissipating into steam also there was a shot in Dosti which had Fire (Ram) & Water (Bheem) flanking a Steam train
Tbh the movie does display an array of emotions but most importantly , the fact that it's all put in this grandiose yet local set up makes this movie more than just a normal movie I loved it
The music you chose for @12:00 gave me literally chills. I imagine it was a deliberate choice of you as a media content reviewer and creator. It just works so well with the sound clip before setting it up and also your analysis coming to a conclusion. Kudos!
You really go deep into the research of the movie , it's industry from where it belongs and it's all background that makes it a proper analysis video and i really appreciate your hardwork on it .
It's so refreshing to see RRR, I usually watch bollywood movies and sometimes tamil movies, but RRR is something else. It is solid packed with actions and the friendship between the heroes is heartwarming.
I’m always impressed by the Amoy of grasp you have on your subject. And how on point you convey it too. Subbed a long time ago, wish I could sub again every video you release
I would say that Bahubali was a much larger and impactful film than RRR. Certainly, the latter had a much wider international yield, Bahubali was a domestic epic
You can review "Pather Panchali" (1955) by India's only Oscar winning director Satyajit Ray. Then u can delve into Ray's entire filmography. Trust me, this guy never made a 'bad' film in his entire career. He is regarded as one of the BEST directors in world cinema. His works are mostly on struggles of human life, social culture etc. Pather Panchali is rated 8.3/10 in imDB and 98% in rotten tomatoes.
Update: It seems like many viewers wish that I had addressed the political controversy surrounding the film.
Originally, I wanted to talk about it in this video, too. But the complexity of contemporary Indian politics is not something I can became an expert on by simple Google searches. It's also inappropriate for me, as a Chinese-Canadian, to attempt to be educational on it.
With that in mind, I won't be able to provide any more context that Patrick Willems' did in his video. Which is why that topic is ultimately left out of the script. If you'd like to know what's up with the controversy, give his video a watch! It's honestly a pretty rad review.
--------------------
There are more thoughts I have about the film that I couldn't fit into the videos, including more personal critiques. But that's enough about me. What do you think about RRR?
@@blackadamrockzzz4439 dude liking this movie and supporting modi have no relation. I do one and don't do the other, it's perfectly normal lol.
And anyway this film does not even pretend to be the next Pather Panchali or Nayakan, it's a blatantly commercial movie just meant for entertainment. Such movies are not EXPECTED to have the logical brilliance art films have.
@@blackadamrockzzz4439 "ohhh see me I am different I am cool coz I don't like mainstream and popular stuff"
Cry about it!! What illogical plot? The movie was about friendship of 2 freedom fighters and the drama that happened between them and I think it succeeded in that department (so much that West was thinking it's a gay love story). Yes you could say that it was convenient that Bheem found Sita but for a movie there has to be some conveniences ? How does this make the movie stupid or bad? And even if plot/script is a little ridiculous (in your eyes) what about the other elements? The awesome music and the awesome action?
Also sorry for giving genuine points coz from the modi remark it shows you have no brain so my points will be worthless.
Edit : Also I am not saying it's a masterpiece or a perfect movie but it's definitely not "the stupidest movie of all time"!
@@blackadamrockzzz4439 Bro I can understand you not liking the movie but liking/disliking a certain type of movies doesnt makes you superior than anyone. Also, this movie has nothing to do with Modi. Indian film industry produces a lot of patriotic movies each year and more than 80% of them fail at the box office let alone collecting a figure around 1000 crores. Your last sentence is true but other than that, you are just being annoying for no reason. I also didnt enjoy RRR as much as most of my fellow Indians but its still one of the best movie experiences I have had since the last 5 years so it must have done something correct.
I would like to know your favorite Rajamouli movie from all his movies that you have watched. BTW I am a big fan of your content. Thanks for creating such great videos!
@@tvts5157 I really like Eega for some weird reason. It's far from his best or even most entertaining, but something about how far it pushes that ridiculous premise to the extreme really captures my fascination.
Let me clarify something, the girl probably isn't the hero's little sister (at least, I don't think she is if I remember the movie correctly). Calling someone your brother in many Indian cultures is simply a sign of respect, you may have been confused by that.
I believe they also do this in Chinese and other Asian (and pretty much many other ones worldwide, even amongst communities here in the US) cultures so I'm surprised to hear he didn't pick up on this
Yeah in india everyone who's older than you is brother, sister or aunt and uncle.
That scene was still wholesome, though.
They have the same practice in Chinese culture as well
It's weird that Accented Media didn't catch that. It's a common thing across asia, and I'm sure Accented Media has seen it first hand himself.
When I was in Singapore. I had an Indian male friend there. I asked why most Indian males are seen walking while holding hands. Yeah initially I thought it was gay. Then he explained that it is common with friends. They are proud to display their bonds. Then we tried. He explained that walking while holding hands with a buddy makes it more enjoyable because the pace and stress are shared.
Yes Bro, it is common among friends in India... 99% male relationships are pure friendship only and no physical / no sexual relationship in India. We will be teasing each other and will treat each other family members as our family.
real men are confident with their sexuality and don't care what other thinks --- gay in the closet always feeling insecure and scared to be seen and judged as gay
Yes.. Whether its male friends or female friends. Its normal.. And i m proud of it tht it doesn't ruin our friendship in any ways
yeah thanks but no thanks. next thing you know they'll say you should try sucking each other's d!cks there's nothing sexual just male bonding and friendship
Indian men certainly don't hold hands where I came from and where I now live. Are you sure you were not in a gay area of Singapore? Male children do hold hands, but adult males definitely don't!!
One thing I only noticed on my rewatch is that when Ram is whipping Bheem and some of Bheems blood lands on his cheek. He wipes away the blood, but at the same time he is discreetly wiping away a tear. Just a beautiful, poignant moment that showcases how he has had to cover up who he is, break everything he believes in, and work for his enemies. At the same time, the fact that he does shed a tear when in earlier scenes like the protest he remained completely stoic, shows that the facade is breaking and he can no longer force himself to work for the enemy. It’s pretty cool how they loaded that much subtle symbology in a movie that’s filled with bombastic and over the top sequences
I didn't notice this. I'll look for it on my next rewatch
Did you also notice the huge chunk of meat Bheem carries in the friendship montage song? It foreshadows what happens in interval fight when Bheem unleashes the fury of wild animals in a British party..
@@trendsstter60 Yeah he gives it to his homie who puts it in a hole where it is dragged in with what sounds like a tigers growl, great detail I missed my first time but noticed the second
Every scene in this movie is so perfectly executed.
Awww. Yes❤
Maali is not Bheem's real sister, they are from the same tribe...
It's very common in India to call eachother by some relation, even if you they are strangers...
I believe they also do this in Chinese and other Asian (and pretty much many other ones worldwide, even amongst communities here in the US) cultures so I'm surprised he didn't pick up on this
thanks for clarifying. I thought this might've been the case, but was unsure
Just like we call people older than us uncle/aunty even though we are complete strangers.

'Many western might conceive it as gay' made me laugh because here friendships is the strongest relation. Many movies have showed that very well . Western in place of making moves for open emotions tries to make every relation sensual. People can be very loyal, loving and caring being friends

The fact that this was released around the time of Elizabeth's death with the most scathing depiction of the British Empire ever with such a positive reception is absolutely legendary.
I don't disagree with you, but the movie came out a decent while before Elizabeth died iirc.
Also the cruelties was washed down.
If it was Real depictions than this movie would have been rated 18
Trust me this version of British Empire in India was VERY VERY mellowed down.
God I'm so happy someone talked about the aspect of RRR that no one discussed "healthy display of emotions".Most people are saying RRR showcases toxic masculinity but for me it showed men can be powerful and have emotions in them too, they are not just some legends unhinged by the level of difficulties in front of them, they laugh when they are happy cry when sad and depend emotionally on people around them.
Lol them showing their affection for each is other is literally the opposite of the definition of toxic masculinity. Those people must have no idea what they are talking about
People who used the words “toxic masculinity” in criticism there opinion is invalid
Calling it toxic masculinity is the sign of people who aren't watching movie but still want to be felt relevant in the discussion, so they grasp something that will surely sound "progressive" to attract attention.
meh. maybe for the whiteys, but for any grounded indian, the concept of toxic masculinity is ridiculous, and the idea of men not emoting is also ridiculous.
@@anonymouslyopinionated656 yeah, maybe your right, maybe thats a problem caused by culture

Only if ssr made this as a indian fantasy world movie instead of real world movie , over the top would have been justified and many people would have praised it....
They should not have put this in a real world setting
That is a fun observation. If this cast and crew had attempted Dragon Ball, it could have been better than the anime ever was. I can't see anyone but these guys being capable of combining bombastic action, simple and pure emotions, and absolute earnestness.
But I don't really need it. Big as a fan I was of Dragon Ball. It is not a story worth adapting even if they coild

I watched RRR with some friends and we loved every second of the 3 hours length from the exagerated to true cinematographic
moments, one of the friends even watched it 2 more times with other groups of people and those people made other watch, truly one of the best movies of the year.
I watched this twice... a second time with my parents (which aren't "fans" of Indian cinema). Halfway through the snarky comments stopped and my father was completely into the movie. He even turned on again to watch the rest of the movie after some technical issues, that's how good the movie is.

As a Korean-American with little to no tribal sense of national pride for either country, I was still able to feel the grand patriotism through the sheer force of the storytelling and filmmaking
even if I have no connection to India itself, heroic characters making resourceful use of their flag and fauna to fight for justice, or dancing triumphantly to honor their freedom fighters makes for AWESOME WORLD CINEMA
if I’m tribal about anything, it’s gonna be about awesome moviemaking…
…enough to see it 4 times in theaters, spread its gospels to many of my friends and family that end up loving it, learn the Naatu dance, and make my own Telugu/Hindi audio composite fanedit for my own digital collection
You're Korean so you are related to india like most of the Asia countries especially south east asia due to the Chola Empire a lot of Asian countries were sanatanis before Buddhism took over and i believe that one of the Korean queen was of Indian origin
I heard korean are going to make remake of RRR
Are you korean living in America
Or American living in Korea
Cuz i love korean people
Of course south ones💀
Using "tribal" as some kind of a slur. Humans ARE tribal animals. There's nothing wrong with it. Tribalism is how you got civilization. There's no such thing as complete "individualism". At the end of the day you are still part of a tribe and the system it creates, and you have a duty and responsibility towards it and repay the favors it has done to you. If everyone was individualistic atomized drone, then civilization will collapse.

People are enjoying this movie so much in the west without even knowing all the layers that are presented in the movie.
1. The first layer is just the masala movie with the epic action sequence, epic dance battles, epic rescue and all the epicness this movie has.
2. Second layer is that the two protagonists are based on real life indian freedom fighters. Their final looks in the movie is what they were actually like in the real life. You can find statues of both these great people in real life.
3. The mostly missed mythological layer that many people miss is the reverse Ramayan in the end. Ram being trapped in golden Lanka and sitha coming to rescue her. Bhim ( who was supposedly the reincarnation of lord Hanuman) going to save lord Ram and burning the whole Lanka.
This movie is a masterclass in itself. These layers just make it extra special to those who are giving extra attention.
Your comment needs to be pinned.
4th layers the emotional backstory of 2 characters with alternate methods but each achieving the same goal and ultimately transforming their characters for each other. Bheem saves the nation while ram saves the little girl
God, I felt so dumb at the end.
I pointed out the Bow of Shiva a few hours before it got used to a friend. But I didn't even realize Ram was supposed to be Rama until the last action scene
Literally smacked my forehead when I realized and then like 5 seconds later I did it AGAIN when I realized Bhima too.
(In my defense, I only read the Ramayana all the way, I've mostly just absorbed Mahabharata through cultural osmosis)
😶😶 abi tak maine notice nhi kiya .... good observation
@@arpitpatra oh oh oh someone on youtube pointed out how the bridge scene shows this perfectly. Bheem's mission was micro>macro (save the girl) and so went for the boy. Ram's mission was macro>micro (save the country) and so went for the flag. But then they swapped (flag for boy), showing how each of the two of them have to learn the other's ways - Bheem learned the value of macro>micro and Ram learned the value of micro>macro by the end of the movie - which doesn't exactly pick a side over the other
ofc maybe Ram just needed to wet a thing and throw it to Bheem so that the latter could be protected when swinging into the fire/smoke
The first 9 minutes was a great insight into the movie that I was looking for. I am American and know almost nothing about Indian cinema, and I was floored by RRR. Thank you for this video!

Lol it is not mythology
They are freedom fighters
Freedom fighters had brain, Shubhash chandra bose got to hitler for army and ammo
But our hero fucks his own people, and that too thousands at a time, just for some guns, tell me one freedom fighter who got guns by such methods, Bhagat Singh, and his partners got guns, bombs, but they did not hurt any Indian
This movie murders logic and cinema

Even if u dont get/understand subtexts and deep rooted metaphors u still enjoy the film unlike most critic fav films where if u don't pain ur brains to understand the metaphors u wont be enjoying the film...

Watching this video after a friend suggested it, having never seen the movie. When I saw the two protagonists together, Gilgamesh and Enkidu immediately came to mind. This is to say that I agree with your point about these two being portrayed as larger-than-life humans, almost deities.
that's an interesting parallel.
They are, each of them also have the characteristics of rama and bhima, legendary figures in indian mythology
i remember watching this as a joke smoking with my homie and we're literally amazed by the crazy ass and cool action scenes 😭
7:24 This idea of "immersion" really prevents a lot of Western audiences from understanding Asian storytelling as a whole, besides Indian moves, Japanese and Chinese media also often don't portray realism that caters to immersion. There's so much metaphors, analogy, symbolism, signs etc. and just straight figurative speech that goes over the heads of Western audiences.
What are you talking about? It doesn’t go over our heads that’s stupid. You don’t understand what immersion is, it’s the world making sense with itself and logic so that you can believe it’s a real world that’s immersive. It doesn’t have to be realistic to our planet earth as many stories are not. The lack of logic in many eastern films is a good point to criticise rather than something that is simply “going over the westerners heads”.
@@maxdavis7722 Yep your post is prime example of going over your head, bringing up "logic" shows that you don't know what Eastern storytelling is about
@@GuyWithAnAmazingHat you can have a story based on symbolism and mythology without sacrificing logic. The two things are not mutually exclusive. Eastern films do not have to pick between one and the other.
Eastern films can prioritise symbolism and mythology, that’s fine and cool but it’s silly to ignore the criticism of immersion just because you believe it doesn’t apply to eastern tastes.
I hate how this comment's reply section instantly turned into a shitshow. My daily reminder to stay away from comment sections...!
The world has taken a step to understand and enjoy Hollywood/English type storytelling. Maybe the western audience can take a step and make an effort to understand asian cinema.
The characters of Alluri Sitaram Raju and Komuram Bheem in the movie RRR are depicted as having the strength and skill of "Lord Ram" from Ramayana, and "Bhim" from Mahabharata, two of the biggest historical epics of Indian culture, so that's where the inspiration for the portrayal of these characters comes from, we are already very familiar with Ramayana and Mahabharata so we already had a general idea of the degree of strength and feats they could be accomplishing in the movie.
Bro but it's disturbing that some indians here are saying it's sangi movie ....religion movie ect.....the makers you mythological referance only. .....some fools saying it's propaganda ?
From the way I experienced the movie, I was able to gather that there is an homage to mythological characters. I don't know the myths, so I cannot make any further connections, but to me ot seemed like the movie didn't try to go that route anyway. It didn't want me to comsider them as those mythological characters, only that they embody them. It doesn't want me think that they are actually those gods of myth.

@@poppoyi those are just hinduphobics
@@MarcRitzMD for your clarification those are not mythological characters. They were the part of Indian history. Ramayana and Mahabharata is the well documented history of India.
10:33 The reason I got convinced was, that even though the hero is strong.... he cannot attack the mighty British empire just like that. even taking the help of 100s of his people he wouldn't be able to do, as the fight is always between guns vs bare hands/swords.
As he has born and bought up in the forest, he and his tribe have a lot of familiarity with animals. So he picked that as his strength and he executes that plan in the intermission scene with all animals.
and it's not like they made Bheem some Master Of The Animals type person with powers who can talk to them and command them at will. in the palace entry scene he had to fend them off of him as well

It was such a great film of friendship and humanity. Universal themes and eye catching visuals.
There is lot of other symbolism too. The British lady dies on spikes which she loved to torture others with. Scott died with the same bullet he thought was more precious than indian life. The bridge scene is a symbolism of summary of entire movie too. And not to forget all the references specific to Indian culture and history. Even the dosti song is filled with so much symbolism. Even the clothes of ram were in yellow tint and Bheem were in blue tint.
Are Bheem's clothes supposed to be blue in the original lore?
@@claudius3359 no. It's a creative choice. Because in the movie Ram is fire and Bheem is water. So Ram got fire's color which is a shade of yellow while Bheem got water's color which is a tint of blue.
Something interesting is how this film uses the idea of scale, but often through seemingly opposing tricks. The obvious is the use of the slow pan across a wide frame, meant to show the sheer scale of the set. But another, less obvious one is whenever the camera begins to zoom in. In these moments, the camera slowly but steadily focuses, as other actors or objects move or are moved to make space, before finally revealing the (often grandiose) performance by one of our heroes. So, yes, the scale of the world is made clear, but just as importantly the power of the protagonists are made just as transparent by how they use said power to essentially bend the cinematography to their advantage. It’s a subtle thing and I’m probably looking too deep into it, but from what I’ve seen it’s really interesting.
Personally, one of the reasons I loved this film was how much it reminded me of Assassins Creed.
Unlike the actual Assassin's Creed movie.

RRR is also the first Blockbuster Movie in which the CGI/VFX were made almost entirely in Blender 3D Open-source software.
That is really cool to know. Corridor Crew were one of the first channels to comment on the movie and they loved it a lot. They had only praise for the CGI too. Indian CGI is so underrated.
@@MarcRitzMD i think its not, its not well known to the audience but those who know what and how vfx works might be aware of the work done in Narnia. outsourced,
Blender is so powerful, i started learning a year ago. i still working on incorporating elements, its another universe, flexible, traditional and expansive I think.
@@MarcRitzMD Almost every hollywood blockbuster(including every Disney era MCU movie ever made) has 100s of Indians working out of India on the movie's CGI. Outsourcing CGI/VFX to India is not a new business model and has been a thing for more than a decade. Indian cinema effectively leveraging its existing, highly experienced and talented pool of animators is a recent phenomenon.
SERIOUSLY? RRR was made almost entirely in BLENDER?! sheesh man
I always loved the fantastical and mythological proportions within the storytelling and events of Indian films.
The funny thing is every country has it's own definition of toxic masculinity. Whether in movies or real life,at least in my culture, it's perfectly normal to see close friendships between men and for men to show emotions.
True. Every Indian man has said this to another Indian man in his life. Atleast once.
"your friendship is dear to me more than life".
So, this is not myth.
But absolutely realistic.
Every Indian man hugs, cries, holds hands of other Indian men, while being completely straight.
Crying infront of same age men, friends usually.
Only infront of women and children they're forced to be strong.
But rest of toxicity used to be there. But it's true to its time. So, fair enough.
Like, men HAVE to be the protector as women are kept safe.
THAT'S the toxic masculinity people are complaining of.
But it was 1920 for heaven's sake!
Men has always been the protector .
Even today from nation to family men protect everything .
Even girls love men who has strength , power , money , ethics

The way you described some of the elements of the movie reminded me a lot of the LotR books, which were deliberately written by Tolkien as an epic tale for a West that had lost touch with its roots and spirituality.
It is also notable that some of these elements are often misunderstood by readers or were misrepresented in the movies.

Glad you really went into the deep root cause of why Indian films are over the top i.e pointing to culture, the origin of cinema, etc. Great research and observation!
RRR remains my favorite Indian film released this year at least as of September, and it's virality amongst cinephiles and certain international (re: beyond South Asian or NRI) audiences I find particularly fascinating. That being said, I feel many viewers new to mainstream Indian cinema and South Indian Cinema (SIC) in particular are misinterpreting the movie's supposed impact & influence, at least in the short term.
I've watched classical to modern Hindi (Bollywood) filmmaking consistently since the early 2010s and SIC starting a little later. Since my now-wife and I started dating (she's Telugu), I've watched about 2 dozen SIC (mostly Telugu, Tamil, or Malayalam) features a year since 2020, so I feel I have a decent enough "outsider's" perspective to comment on this: The reason why RRR is so effective has little to do with its story, premise, pan-Indian status, or major stars, and most everything to do with its auteur director, Rajamouli (thus, I would disagree w/ at least 2/3 of your arguments explaining "the importance" of RRR).
Rajamouli's blockbusters stand apart from most other high-concept SIC & Hindi films the way James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Matt Reeves, or Denis Villeneuve rise above the likes of so many Marvel, Fast & Furious, or generic fantasy movies in Western Cinema. There's no reinvention of cinematic formula so much as a heightened precision of directorial execution in screenplay selection, cinematography, editing, and the basics of characterization.
To think RRR is in any way representative of Indian cinema writ large is like saying 2022's Top Gun 2 is an accurate benchmark for Hollywood. Neither are average, but significant *deviations* from the mean execution and directorial control of their respective industries, in many ways a *reaction to* the shortcomings of other would-be similar movies.
Top to bottom, Baahubali, despite its lackluster CGI, which RRR frankly suffers from as well, remains a far more important and financially successful trendsetter than RRR is likely to be. RRR isn't even the highest grossing Indian film of the year, unfortunately (KGF 2 outgrossed it), while Aamir Khan's films like Dangal, Secret Superstar, PK, et al. have had just as impressive overseas box office success, if not more so. In other words, I'd argue RRR is best described as the continuation of Rajamouli's dominance throughout SIC blockbuster filmmaking, but its status as a trendsetter for South Asian film in general is questionable.
Yeah it irked me a little when he said its the biggest indian movie. Bahubali is clearly at the top closely followed by dangal.
To me RRR wasn't anything different from other blockbusters this year like KGF, Pushpa, etc.
Yes without BAHUBALI there is no RRR, going by this trend KGF's success is a sign of better things to come in that genre aswell, but the trendsetter will always be KGF.

Accented Cinema posting this on the queen's death is just beautiful.
I think it is high time accented cinema made another video on Malyalam movie industry(From the southern state of Kerela). It's literally an unexplored world of "Accented Cinema", unexplored in India and the West. It's not as much of glorious spectacle but the storytelling can easily beat most of western cinema.
The only Malayalam movie I saw is Bangalore Days.
Because it's the only Malayalam movie I found after scouring the entire Montreal area.

@@AccentedCinema Bangalore day is probably the best malayalam movie tbh.
@@AccentedCinema Actually, Malayalam industry is the most consistent with great storytelling, and this is coming from a Tamil guy btw. And I'm not here to recommend some, you could literally start anywhere. (Premam, the Drishyam franchise, Hridayam are some from the top of my head)
@@AccentedCinema I'll say they're always incomplete in some ways.

@@AccentedCinema
I can somewhat explain this. Speaking as an Indian-American, Indian cinema is unique in the sense that it can be said to be too diverse. There is no national language in India but Hindi and English are the official languages of the national government. There is no one national language that every Indian knows and speaks. India has 26 states but 22 regional languages; my parents are from the southern state of Kerala where the regional language is Malayalam. Given its large size and population, it's more apt to compare India to Western and Central Europe or the European Union in terms of how diverse the languages are depending on which part of the area you're in. Because of that, Indian cinema is segmented by which language it's filmed under and which could be understood by the moviegoers. Basically, if I want to watch a French film, I know it's going to be in French. An Indian film though? Not nearly as clear cut and simple.
Related to that, Indian-Americans as a whole only make up 1.4% of the US population. When you combine Indians being a small market demographic in the West along with many languages that Indians can speak, you can sort of understand why Indian movies don't get that much releases in the West. I'm thankful that the movie theater where I am near Tampa, Florida tends to show Japanese anime films and a variety of Indian films (in different languages like Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu) for a few days when they come out. So I don't face the problem of an availability drought as you do, Accented Cinema.
That being said, if you want a Malayalam film recommendation, I would recommend the latest Prithviraj film "Kaduva". It's about the conflict between a rubber farmer and a police chief and the moral ambiguity in between. Really great drama film.
Also, I highly recommend checking out film reviews from Jimmy Cage. He regularly watches and reviews tons of Indian movies of many different languages and I've never been let down by his movie recommendations. Give him a look. Maybe you can even do a collab or two with him?
Also, a few other video essay recommendations, if you don't mind?
Daniel Netzel's "Why Grave of the Fireflies Had To Be Animated" video,
StudioBinder's "How Satyajit Ray Directs A Film" video,
Fight Scene Film School's perfect breakdown of the Storytelling in the fight choreography from the recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series,
and for a laugh, helpmefindparents "What kind of Asian are you?" . The main actress in that skit later gave a stellar performance in the South Korean film "An Ode To My Father". Check these out if you got the time and interest.
Anyways, does this answer your questions?
Your essays are deep, relevant and always a delight. I feel like my horizon has widened a little bit every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you!
I love the singing and dance scene, love it. Plus, I feel like showing early on these two characters have supernatural strength and feats allows for them to be believable when they take down the badguys at the end of the movie.
One thing you only slightly mentioned is that RRR does not make use "immersion" as western films do. Rather, it makes use of rasa aesthetic theory, which aims to elicit emotions from the viewers.
Like most of shonen anime do
Re: corniness, I think where some other countries often go big in terms of over-the-top action, America tends to go big in terms of over-the-top grittiness. The mythical male heroes of modern Western cinema are Scorsese leads more than MCU heroes. Unfortunately they're all degenerates, but in terms of the scale and scope of the cinematic vision, I understand why Travis Bickle, Jordan Belfort, or characters like Arthur Fleck or Dirk Diggler made such huge celebrities out of their actors.
Can't say they're all degenrates but yeah many are

@@prasannakumar8058 dude please, shut up. I've watched both the movies and I like both of them but you're wrong. Rocky is a phenomenal character but he is a criminal and nothing will change that. We're all literally from the same country and both of them are South Indian movies so please, just don't. And wake up from your delusions, you're embarrassing us
@@prasannakumar8058 wow thanks for your unsolicited opinion
I watched many reviews and videos made on RRR and I liked many but this is the only channel I subscribed to just after watching 7 mins into it. The research that you did was dope man. Being an Indian I can't even explain to someone how Indian movie making has evolved from the early stage to present. U did it so well
My best way of describing this movie to friends is that it's pretty much Devil May Cry the movie. Insane over the top scenes, the subtlety of a soap opera, but pure genuine fun enjoyment.
Glad you made a video about it and exploring indian films!
Damn now I want a devil may cry movie
From the clips in this video that is exactly what I was thinking and dear god if you've seen it and are thinking that then I'm gonna have one hell of a party

Vikram = stupid 🤡

Only KGF-2🔥🤙Bigger than Hollywood 😎🔥
By far, RRR is easily my favorite Indian movie simply for it's wonderful blend of awesome action sequences that's a cross between classic Shaw Bros kung-fu movies and 80's action movies such as Rambo 3 and Die Hard, catchy & stylish musical rhythm, fantastic cinematography, and a well-written story about friendship, family, freedom, and pride. 🇮🇳✊🏾
Here are some recommendations if you want to watch more
Tumbbad( horror ) one of my fav
3 idiots ( comdey drama)
Bahubali 1,2 ( from same director absolute killer movie my fav)
Kal ho na ho ( rommance love story )
@@romitrathore8272 Indian horror is something I never heard of. But I will definitely check it out during October (Halloween season).
For sure I'll check the other 4 out.
@@elmono6299 tumbbad plot is unique(available on Amazon prime).... I have never watched anything like that before .. even though i have watched tonnes of great Hollywood horror movies .... If you want more recommendations just reply me anytime on this thread .... I will be really glad to help my friend 😉🙏
I love the movie so much, and one could spend hours talking about the things they loved about it. With all the hype around it, people are not really in the mood for real criticism of course. There are some parts which could be criticized. And while I could think of stuff that is worthy of criticism, I don't think the movke could be improved. For example, over-the-top villains are worthy of criticism. But they had to be over the top for the film. It would not have been as good if they weren't over the top.
For all the reviews so many people still miss a few important things.
Like for example the scene in the climax where Ram shows up in traditional clothes with Bow and Arrow. While they correctly mention that it is indicative of Rama from Hindu religions, that is still the subtext. The main reason Ram looks that way in the scene is because it is where finally the look of the real-life 'Alluri Sita Rama Raju' is revealed. It is the look reveal scene for the Telugu audience.
Imagine a film going on for 2 hrs with someone called bruce wayne investigating murders, and then he finally he comes on screen as batman, or a clean shaven Abraham lincoln finally showing up in his iconic bearded look etc. It was a hoot-worthy moment in the movie.
This is not overtop but evey very mild. They don't even consider us as human. We were just things for them. Muslims rulers were even more cruel .
Learn about indian history and see 👀 it from indian point of view, then you'll know it was not over the top.
unfortunately, acts of the British are NOT as over the top as you may think. Colonists did unspeakable things in colonies. British literally caused the great Bengal famine (Churchill the hero behind it). They opened fire on thousands of people and killed them all.
In my country, they massacred all males who had the remotest claim to the throne, burnt down 100 000 fields, killed live stock and made people flee the area. The damage was so bad that the district remains one of the least developed to this date. The events were documented by the British officials themselves. The British "landed proprietors" would shoot any commoner who would dare to step on "their" lands without permission. They exploited local women quite badly too.
I would always prefer Rajamouli's Eega ( where a housefly is main protagonist ) and Bahubali 1&2 ( Historical epics ) over RRR. But i loved how you described this film in a different way than others youtubers and critics. Big fan of your works since your PARASITE video.
I would describe this movie as East versus West in a form of East meets West. Inside of the story itself is the representation of the gods using the two men as Avatars to save their people and the country. The over the top action is accompanied by the imagery of fire and water, first at odds then both channeling the old ways to fight among the new.
Yes, it’s overly simplified BUT it would take days to fully analyze the characterization and imagery. Note: there is a very strong theme of opposite forces being intertwined - represented by the necklace and the halves of a whole coming together.
I think Bahubali (part 2) should have gotten more recognition than RRR because it was a spectacle and no forced dramas
Fun fact for Chinese people in india we call China = chini from ancient times, that chini word means sugar, in over ancient text chinese people are described as people sweet As Sugar -- but in current time over relation is difficult tho 😅
Fun Fact: Bheem - NTR in our state was called as Young Tiger NTR for past 20 years 😹, so him fighting a Tiger is Tiger vs Tiger and fan service of all telugu people. And Fire in Eyeball shot was used Ram's Father Chiranjeevi and his uncle Pawan movies that's Fan service to telugu people. Rajamouli knows fan service.
No more young tiger jr ntr anymore, Only NTR
Thank you for teaching me to appreciate and love Telugu cinema for what it is; as a child, I'd grown to hate it for not conforming to the realism(which I idealized) as I saw in Hollywood. I now realise what I've been missing out on, and it's got everything to do with the love letters to cinema you write in your videos ❤️
I liked the observation on sense of scale. Perhaps Hollywood forgot to use this technique to emphasise close up shots more. Makes it hard to do "product placement" if the product (item or actor's face, body, in KJ Apa's case: his abs) is obscured by wide shots or calculated blocking as you mentioned.
I loved RRR, the character intros and action sequences were entertaining in how ridiculously stunning they were captured and realised. I enjoyed it, few cringe points but I guess that's more down to my lack of cultural understanding. I loved the dance scene, I've watched a few Indian films and always found these sequences distracting but obviously the people love these vocal mid film analysis breaks but I really enjoyed the dance scene it was good fun. Glad you appreciated the capture of emotion in their friendship, it reminded me of Hong Kong cinema which seems to nail that really well on film, like in Bullet in the Head the scene where all the friends look at each other before the possibly life ending nightclub rescue/heist in Saigon. I would love to hear your view on that film because I feel cinematically it was a thing of beauty in how the characters arcs were portrayed. I loved your video about Tony Leung acting from the eyes who also stars and there is so much of that in Bullet in the Head which I was reminded of in RRR.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation of Indian movies.
The difference between making a movie with "immersion" in mind versus "religious storytelling" affects how actors portray their roles and the overall presentation of the movie.
Excellent content!
Very poetic as usual, Yang!
Absolutely loved the way you've summarized how Indian Cinema actually works and of course, how RRR knows what it is doing and presents itself in the rawest, Unadulterated form to be an unforgettable, full-on entertainer!
Certainly one of the bests, if not the best film of the year. Hoping for its Academy nominations, because only then the stage would be set and the gates would be opened for all the people around the world to Indian Cinema! Cheers #RRR
Now that's what I call a review. It was awesome to see you covering this so beautifully. For me it was just a breath of fresh air. Last time any movie that gave me those kind of jolts were Lagaan and Swadesh. It's not a movie. It's an emotion that can be felt only by indians. Thanks a lot. Thank you very very much for this. Also many thanks for giving a shout out to my boy, Hou Yi. Do you know any other movie or series that revolves around Chang'e or Hou Yi other than Over the moon? If you do, please let me know. ❤️
The best breakdown of the movie ever. You clearly brought put why this movie was so special. I have not come across any other review which explained why this movie works, any better than you just did. Thank you so much for this awesome breakdown.
Omg! You have perfectly described what I feel exactly about the larger than life grandiose depiction related to mythological epics visualised in cinematography!!! It has to do with people growing up hearing ancient epic poems, which sing laurels of the heroes in those stories and these movies are literall visualizations of the metaphors that one will use in an epic poem like ramayan or mahabharat. You being a foreigner to get the cultural context is so amazing!!!
Im glad you pointed out the affection between the two male characters did not have to come out gay like what hollowwood is so obsessed about.
Its just two men display of friendship and bonding
Exactly how many action focused movies starred by gay couples have been made in hollywood?
I am still waiting for one.
@@manzanito3652 i bet you cant wait for Hollowood to remake the movie Commando where John Matrix's character to be gay just for the sake of it.
You really like to make up fictional scenarios in your head and then get mad at it don’t you?
@@woobharb and you seem to pretend hollowwood doesnt do this type of crap to push their agenda
@@bestthingsinceslicedrice Name three for me.
As an Indian I have to say it was an awesome analysis, you made me realize certain stuff which I was not even aware of Indian Cinema.
I feel sorry for those guys who assumes two men are gay when they look at two guys holding hands or putting ones hand on other's shoulder.. time to grow up
Kiran bro that's how gay men are outside India, holding hands and so on. If a man wears a saree in India would you not assume that person is a Hijra?
@@infantraj9951 Assumption is not good, he can be an actor walking on street too.
Well, even if they were gay, there would be no problem.
RRR isn’t the best Indian movie nor the best work from the director SS Rajamouli. I think every Indian would agree that the Bahubali movies were the best movies. It was more character driven with every character being really well written.
That said, RRR came at the right time when Hollywood is just churning out mediocre big budget superhero movies with no heart. The emotions RRR delivers is what makes it such an international success.
SSR doesn’t need to make a Marvel movie. I think giving SSR the budget to bring his grand vision to life without losing the Indian connection is important. That’s what made RRR special. It’s an Indian story that is well told.
Technically speaking, I think Eega is his personal best. The way he got us invested into a goddam fly for the entire movie is crazy. But I was way more entertained by RRR than BB series or Eega so my personal Rajamouli best is RRR only.
Lol RRR way better than Thangaballi
Yes bahubali 2 was way better than rrr but still rrr is good too
Bb , magadheera , eega , mariyadaramana, vikarmarkudu ....ssr best for me ....
But RRR had some of the cool and stylish ssr stuffs, visuals and setpieces
Bahubali best in India...and Better than RRR?? Wth. You destroyed my mood to watch RRR. Bahubali ,,it's nothing special and compared to hollywood standards just poor movie...May be great for goosebump audiences..
Wow, what a great introduction to Indian cinema for me, giving the cultural background and why this movie is important in a way that kept me interested to hear the rest.

10:50 Such a level of friendship you will find in ample in Indian society. No, they are not gays. The brotherhood which is shared between men in Indian society is similar in nature. I do have many childhood friends with whom I share similar bonds. It was when I met my western counterparts where I realized they have barriers Regarding such level of friendship between men, either due to cultural phenomena or may be due to too much indulgence in material living because of which they can't differentiate between good friend and a lover.
It's mostly because we live in a culture obsessed with marriage and love between people that we turn the most basic intimacy gesture as "omg, they are in love", but it's a also a very puritan culture where openly expressing love, intimacy and emotions outside of marriage (and sometimes inside) is seeing very negative and as a sign of "weakness".
It's also a very homophobic culture, so any possible intimacy between same sex people is seen inmediatly as negative, whether they are friends or not.
So it's basically:
Shame if you don't seek love.
Shame if you express your love too much.
Shame if you don't love the "correct" person.
SS Rajamouli ( Director of RRR ) always had Vision but he lacked budget...🙌
He started his career has soap opera Director, from there to RRR...🔥
The only I will recommend from his previous Films is Eega ( Fly )
It is about Guy reincarnated has fly to take revenge from the guy who killed him....💪
After RRR he has Budget now, His next films will be more universal now...🙌🙌
His next film Jungle action adventure set in African backdrop...
Budget is around the budget of RRR...🔥
Yeah E was pretty hilarious and a fun watch
Let’s watch some unofficial Indian Tarzan movies, even though we’ll now know that the Indian Jungle Adventure genre has come a long way from decades ago.

Loved it.
I think it also has the metaphor of Water meeting fire, which can be mutually devastating or supportive if they are utilized correctly. Meaning water and fire can cancel each other out, or they can create Steam which runs the world. Or atleast did in the time period.
I don't think it is a coincidence that a steam train was the marking point when two of them meet each other for the first time.
It is also a commentary on India's Freedom struggle and ethos where people of different thoughts and ideologies can cancel eachother out while going towards the same goal.
But if they have the catalyst of "brotherhood" they can achieve their goals quicker.
another example of water+fire=steam was right before the interrrval, when blood mixed with Ram's tears (water) before dripping onto his presumable hot (fire) wrist, dissipating into steam
also there was a shot in Dosti which had Fire (Ram) & Water (Bheem) flanking a Steam train
Tbh the movie does display an array of emotions but most importantly , the fact that it's all put in this grandiose yet local set up makes this movie more than just a normal movie
I loved it
7:27 didn’t knew rajamouli directed ragnarock
The music you chose for @12:00 gave me literally chills. I imagine it was a deliberate choice of you as a media content reviewer and creator.
It just works so well with the sound clip before setting it up and also your analysis coming to a conclusion. Kudos!
You really go deep into the research of the movie , it's industry from where it belongs and it's all background that makes it a proper analysis video and i really appreciate your hardwork on it .
It's so refreshing to see RRR, I usually watch bollywood movies and sometimes tamil movies, but RRR is something else. It is solid packed with actions and the friendship between the heroes is heartwarming.
indeed not very comparable with other Indian produced works.
Aik org malaysia ke?
@@xxcronomaxx7986 yela bro ahahah
I’m always impressed by the Amoy of grasp you have on your subject. And how on point you convey it too.
Subbed a long time ago, wish I could sub again every video you release
your review was different from most of the ones. and you did a pretty good research I say. Thank you for appreciating our movie.
I would say that Bahubali was a much larger and impactful film than RRR. Certainly, the latter had a much wider international yield, Bahubali was a domestic epic
Favorite film of the year honestly
for me it's simply bcs how i can feel the "soul" when they made this movie right from the first hour
You can review "Pather Panchali" (1955) by India's only Oscar winning director Satyajit Ray. Then u can delve into Ray's entire filmography. Trust me, this guy never made a 'bad' film in his entire career. He is regarded as one of the BEST directors in world cinema. His works are mostly on struggles of human life, social culture etc.
Pather Panchali is rated 8.3/10 in imDB and 98% in rotten tomatoes.
Wow what a unique way to tell both about Indian movies history and RRR at the same time
It’s like anime but Indian, I felt like I watched Indian Jojo and loved it.
