RRR is a mix of roaring, exciting  and exciting generes. Spectacular mythical action, superhero bromance, and just a mix of SS Rajamuri can be swallowed into one giant bite. Of course, it's also a deafening volume. But this movie made me stick to it and it was so much fun do that so I was happy to sacrifice my ears once. A three-hour feature film set in British India in the 1920s, a patriotic story, proves several things at once. For Indian filmmakers and viewers, there will be a better and more lasting source of narrative than ramayana and Mahabharata. That,if you want to be really safe, you cast not just one super-star ,but two of them. And that if you want big. You go only to Rajamouli, the biggest superstar of them all. The loudest were reserved for his blink-and-miss in the final credits. RRR also proves that while the overarching iconography of his film is hindu, just like in ‘bahubali’, it is entirely possible to use it without demonising, or othering minorities, even giving the latter a  brief look-see in the proceedings. One of the heroes is not just called Ram aka Alluri sitarama Raju (Ram Charan), he also appears in the  avatar, to vanquish the evil invaders of our beloved land. And the love of of Ram's life is called, what else , Sita (Alia Bhatt). That other heroes goes why by the name of akthar (let no one say there were no Muslims in this tale,see) before switching to his original, komaram Bheem a Gond tribal who turns into a revolutionary. Apperantly these two gentlemen were real people,but Rajamouli's plot is not just fictional , it is fantastical, teeming with wild beats who come racing out of cages to trash a party the ‘goras’  have thrown,mortals who are flogged and beaten mercilessly, Bitten by venomous snakes, pierced near the heart by bullets, but who stagger to their feet, living to see another day. The secret to believing us is the filmmakers complete belief, and Rajamouli is the knack. At one insane point , Ram and Aktal fold their hands over a burning bridge. With a banner running across the screen.  India,1920.bye,bye,see?

But these are just plot points. The real deal is physical fetish sparring in a series of set pieces where two heroes give the opportunity to dance("Nattu Nattu" is the most exciting song and dance  sequence I've seen for a while . One), romance,endager their luck and join forces to pursue their mutual enemies.
