People who hand-wring about movies being dead really need to check this one out. RRR proves that, yes, cinema is alive and well, but only if you’re willing, every now and again, to look past your backyard. Read full review

S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR is a dazzling work of historical fiction — emphasis on the “fiction” — that makes the moving image feel intimate and enormous all at once. Read full review

The AtlanticDavid SimsJun 8, 2022
The thrill of RRR is not the density of its storytelling, though—it’s the exuberance of it. Read full review

The battles are bloody and gory, and the set pieces are absolutely massive in scale. Read full review

It’s about perseverance and the power of working together toward a common goal. Those themes are universally relatable — as is the giddy thrill of watching racist forces of imperial oppression get exactly what’s coming to them. Read full review

EmpireIan FreerJul 5, 2022
It may have a tenuous relationship with nuance, but RRR is a bombastic delight. Making the Fast And Furious series look restrained by comparison, it hits the parts Hollywood actioners just can’t reach. Rise! Roar! Revelation! Read full review

For all its political determination, RRR is also a musical, and an electrifying one. Read full review

Screen DailyTara JudahApr 15, 2022
Riotous good fun from start to finish, RRR, a fictionalised account of two real-life revolutionaries fighting against the British Raj and Nizam of Hyderabad in 1920s India is being deservedly championed for reminding audiences what big screen entertainment is all about. Read full review

The New York TimesNicolas RapoldApr 6, 2022
Rajamouli shoots the film’s action with hallucinogenic fervor, supercharging scenes with a shimmering brand of extended slow-motion and C.G.I. that feels less “generated” than unleashed. Read full review

VarietyJoe LeydonApr 5, 2022
The movie is such an irresistible and intoxicating celebration of cinematic excess that even after 187 minutes (including intermission or, as the title card announces, “InteRRRval”), you are left exhilarated, not exhausted. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliJan 2, 2023
The movie does everything LARGE, whether it’s an action sequence or an emotional connection. By the time the 3-hour running time has expired, most viewers will be exhausted from the nonstop energy of the experience. Read full review

I’d say the movie is a lot, but you’d need way more than those four letters to cover it. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Aparita BhandariJun 10, 2022
Visually exhilarating as it may be, it’s worthwhile to remember that RRR is inspired by true events. It’s a work of historical fiction that’s just as inventive as its thrilling special effects. Read full review

SlateNitish PahwaJun 10, 2022
Obviously, one film cannot encompass everything, and as the filmmakers have themselves noted, RRR is sheer fantasy. I cannot fault viewers for enjoying RRR so much, whether they ironically lap up the superhuman stunts or get swept up in the thrilling anti-imperial action. I’m concerned more about the timing of it all, the global presence, the recipe for viral success that other filmmakers will be eyeing. It’s an ingenious form of soft-power propaganda, one that can be interpreted as positively asserting an otherwise-marginalized ideology. Read full review

It’s all in good, violent fun until it gets to be too much and you realize they’re never going to top their big two-hour-mark throwdown. Read full review
