RRR, the most expensive Indian action/comedy/musical ever made, is as violent and spiritual as it is creative and theatrical.
On the positive side, we’ll also get to watch what may be the best male friendship ever to grace a movie screen. Another man jumping alone into a crowd of a million angry protestors to fight his way to arrest a man? The film is entirely fabricated to “show what could have happened in their lives and what would have happened if they met and bonded,” according to director S.S. A woman “buys” (essentially kidnapping) a mother’s daughter against the mother’s wishes. A man’s head is hit with a rock, and a woman is hit by a car and bashed across the face by a soldier wielding part of a tree branch. A woman is kicked in the stomach. A man is beaten to death offscreen with a sledgehammer. A man calls someone a “chit of a girl.” Additionally, the name Bheema references Bhima, a man said to have been born when a wind god granted a son to a couple. The two stick up for one another, and Raju helps the more socially awkward Bheema talk to a woman he is interested in. At one point, he puts his “holy thread” around a man to try to help heal him. He’s ambitious and works hard to earn a promotion that will grant him more authority to assist those fighting against the oppressive regime.
