RRR review : Watch it on 3D for mind blowing experience


 RRR is a mind blowing theatre experience and especially if it is in a  3D projection. The technical wizard  just makes you sit dumb founded and watch all the nonsense that goes on on screen withot squirming in your seats. No doubt Ram Charan and Jr NTR have contributed their best but it is in terms of physically prowres  and less on the  acting part. In fact when where the acting quotient is called for, the actors resort  to a theatrical style ( Maybe SSR wanted it that way).

One line plot is an adivasi kid gets forcibly adopted by a wife of a British army General. Now Ram Charan a British army guy is told to stop Jr NTR a jungle outlaw out to get the child back. The introduction sequences  of Ram Charan and Jr NTR are very hilarious if it is narrated but if you see it on screen, it is pulsating. That is Rajamouli magic. So is so many such scenes.

History wise, in 20's these two characters who fought the British lived but they never collaborated together and here the writer has done a smooth job. Secondly,  is there a politics in RRR ? Ram and Bhim should fight together is a message that I get and is SSR saying a Dravidian- Aryan unity is needed  ?.

I kept laughing remembering those media reports that if RRR clashed with Ali Bhatt 's Gangubhai or Ajay Devgan Maidan  would be bad for the latter as these actors have a major role in RRR. Alia and Ajay are glorified junior artistes in RRR. Sabu Cyril production design gets real worth  in hands of Rajamouli.

Most of the English dialogues in Tamil version did not have a dubbing and I could not understand and specially a sequence related to a bomb. Suddenly the Tamil dubbing pops up and in some places you get subtitles. One song- dance sequence with both lead actors was a treat to watch.  A trimming in second part can quicken the pace.

Will Valimai / Radhe Shyam release date be changed after RRR locks January 7th 2022

S S Rajamouli by announcing January 7 as the release date taken the fight in the South directly into the camp of Boney Kapoor production Valimai . In Bollywood, a piquant situation has been created by which heroine centric Gangubai Kathiawadi  which has Alia Bhatt is releasing just a day head of RRR in which she plays Sita. Ajay Devgn who acts in Gangubhai is also playing a pivotal role in RRR.  Pen Studios Gada is the distributor of both films. Will Gada shift Gangubhai ? Will Tamil Nadu distributor Anbu advance release to Christmas? Will Prabhas Radhe Shyam change release date of January 14 ?. Rajamouli is putting his Bahubali track record to pitch his film against star power of Ajith and Prabhas ( in case the two do not withdraw) in Tamil Nadu - Andhra - Telangana. It is seen as a major gamble but to many it shows the confidence that the maker has on his product.

In trade circles , RRR is  the hot favourite . It would the first preference on a National and global  level as Indians would give first priority to RRR,since it comes from Babhubali director SSR and a top notch technical quality that would make it a theater viewing a thrilling experience. Theaters in Tamil Nadu would give half the amount of screens to RRR.   Dent in theater collection at Tamil Nadu box office would give ZEE who bought the film  a big setback. Even  Anbu of Gopuram films who is the distributor  will not ride over the exhibitors demand for RRR.

Valimai's Andhra/ TS markets and North India markets would be nil and even overseas it would take a hit. Will Anbu- Zee look to jump the Valimai release date from Pongal to Christmas ?
