Director: S. S. Rajamouli Run Time: 187 min. Release Year: 2022 Language: Telugu w/ English subtitles Starring: Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, N.T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan, Ray Stevenson This film is part of FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, an on-going series featuring some of the best films of the year you may have missed during their initial runs in cinemas. Synopsis: Back on the big screen where it belongs for an #encoRRRe, RRR is an exhilarating, action-packed spectacular mythologizing two real-life freedom fighters who helped lead India’s fight for independence from the British Raj: Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) and Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan). Set in the 1920s before their fight for India’s independence began, RRR imagines a fictional meeting between the two, set into motion when a young Gond girl is stolen from her village by British soldiers. With a powerful message, staggeringly choreographed action sequences, and an all-timer (or three) of a musical number, RRR is sheer big-screen joy from start to finish, and audiences have one last chance to see it big and loud as intended. Critic Quotes: “To call this the best blockbuster of 2022 is only partially accurate; it’s really several of the best blockbusters, plural, you’re apt to catch this year.” – Rolling Stone “RRR is maximum cinema, the kind of in-your-face, colorful, fiery, loud, awe-inspiring experience you really can only get from the movies.” – Slate “The thrill of RRR is not the density of its storytelling, though — it’s the exuberance of it.” – The Atlantic “You won’t be bored for a nanosecond” – Hollywood Reporter Stay Social!
