S.S. Rajamouli's "Rrr" is not only one of the best movies of 2022, but it's also what /Film considers one of the 100 best films of all time. Rajamouli's smash-hit is pure cinematic bliss, the kind of balls-to-the-wall fun movie theaters were made for.
Inspired by the stories of two real-life historical freedom fighters, "Rrr" borrows a page from "Inglourious Basterds" and imagines its heroes as the best of buds, dancing and fighting their way through the British Raj, making the colonizers pay in blood by throwing tigers at them. It is exhilarating. It is badass. It is "Rrr."
The film has many moments that seem like they should've been impossible to pull off, starting with the very first scene in the film. We begin in a police precinct besieged by a protest thousands of men strong. When one of them throws a rock and breaks a photo of the person in charge,...

When a movie becomes a massive success, the star better be planning his next move. For Rrr’s Ram Charan, he’s dreaming big–like, Marvel and Quentin Tarantino big.
With Rrr still a hot title during awards season, star Ram Charan is hoping to capitalize on its success. And why not try to get in on the action of some of the biggest franchises going? For starters, Charan wants in on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying, “Marvel is the biggest franchise in the world, and I’m a big fan of Tony Stark. The youngsters follow these Marvel stories so closely, and it’s a huge franchise in India.” Hey, he might be a good fit–after all, our own Jason Adams called Rrr “the greatest superhero movie of 2022.” And although it could very well be winding down, Charan also wants in on the Mission: Impossible series. He also...

Rrr star Ram Charan believes that S.S. Rajamouli’s action juggernaut is a watershed moment for Indian cinema. The country’s film industry is currently delineated by language and region, such as Bollywood (Hindi cinema) or Tollywood (Telugu cinema), in Rrr’s case. But Charan is hopeful that Rrr’s (short for “Rise Roar Revolt”) global success will blur the lines of India’s film industry moving forward.
“During the promotion of Rrr, the imaginary lines were blurred. We were not just promoting Rrr, but we were also promoting the sense of having one film industry called the Indian Film Industry. And I can tell you that it is actually happening in India right now,” Charan tells The Hollywood Reporter.
In the 1920-set action epic, Charan plays Alluri Sitarama Raju, a revolutionary leader who uses his position as a mole within the Indian Imperial Police to ultimately arm his former village against the British Raj.
