RRR movie review: RRR is helmed by SS Rajamouli.SS Rajamouli’s much awaited magnum opus RRR has released in theatres on March 25. The period drama brings together two of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars – Ram Charan and Jr NTR. The movie also stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in extended cameos.
If the buzz is anything to go by, then RRR is set to create a new opening day box office record this Friday. “I am expecting around Rs 150 crore gross opening from all languages, just in India,” Girish Johar, film producer and trade expert told indianexpress.com.
As per reports, the budget of RRR has exceeded the budget of SS Rajamouli’s last film Baahubali: The Conclusion by at least Rs 100 crore. Andhra Pradesh minister Perni Nani told reporters, “We got an application from the makers of RRR. As per that information, the producers have spent Rs 336 crore on the movie, excluding GST and the salaries of the cast and crew. Soon, the file will reach the Chief Minister and we will decide on the further hike of movie ticket prices.”
The excitement is high among the team of RRR too. Jr NTR, who’s previously collaborated with SS Rajamouli in Student No 1 (2001), Simhadri (2003) and Yamadonga (2007), said, “This movie will be an emotional rollercoaster. There will be times when you’ll hold onto your seats, wanting to pull it out, rip it apart. You’ll laugh, cry, you’ll be many things!”
Fans call RRR, visually brilliant.
Fans are all praise for Ram Charan.

I don’t believe that one particular character can define any actor forever. It is about the impact of the movie or role. If tomorrow there is another film in which an actor has excelled, then people will associate the actor with that role or film. The film is a branding for you to connect with the audience. So today RRR is a brand, tomorrow there will be something else. Having said this, I am proud to be Rajamouli’s hero for the excitement and challenge that he gives his actors. I am truly happy to be called Rajamouli’s hero forever.Asked if NTR Jr is bothered by the tag of being SS Rajamouli's hero, he said.

Filmmaker SS Rajamouli seems to have outdone himself in terms of scale with his upcoming movie RRR. The budget of this movie exceeded that of his last feature, Baahubali: The Conclusion, by at least Rs 100 crore. “We got an application from the makers of RRR. As per that information, the producers have spent Rs 336 crore on the movie, excluding GST and the salaries of the cast and crew. Soon, the file will reach the Chief Minister and we will decide on the further hike of movie ticket prices,” Andhra Pradesh minister Perni Nani told the media.

SS Rajamouli has captured a unique space in Indian cinema. It's a rarity to find a director who sells more tickets than the leading stars of a movie. And in that respect, he has monopolized that space.

Jr NTR fans screened the promo for RRR on one of the large billboards in Las Vegas.
Ashish Saksena, COO - Cinemas, BookMyShow, said, “RRR shows a lot of promise to entertain millions of cinema enthusiasts across India and has been amongst the most-awaited movies post the pandemic, with BookMyShow selling close to 1.7 million advance tickets for the film. Naturally, the advance sales for the film are being led by Telugu-dominated markets in South India with sales in these markets opening earlier than others nationally. We expect a strong pick-up in other markets over today and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday) as well. Given that RRR is a standalone release for the week, we believe that it will shore up significant box office collections.
Tickets for the Hindi version of the film are selling faster than other South Indian languages including Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Cinephiles across Hyderabad, Ongole, Bengaluru, Chennai amongst others have been the first to get their tickets early on and as we go ahead, we expect significant contribution from Tier 2 and 3 cities as well.
