MOVIE REVIEW: A visual treat, action-packed drama film will keep you entertained with its grand scale action scenes. The movie has very well-choreographed action sequences but lacks the required strong storyline. Director S.S. Rajamouli successfully delivered the mass entertainer once again. He beautifully intertwines two elements of matter ‘fire and water’ in the form of Rama and Bheem.

Writer K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, the man behind Baahubali, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Manikarnika has given an ordinary story this time. The co-writer S.S. Rajamouli couldn’t manage to make an ordinary story into an extraordinary one. But he knows how to engage its audience and he has done his job. The introduction scenes for both the lead actors, intermission point, and climax were whistle-worthy.

Jr NTR delivers a brilliant and emotional performance. Ram Charan gave an excellent performance, his character has many variations which he showcases impressively. They both look terrific in the action scenes. Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn are making their debut in Telugu films. While Ajay Devgn got a well-written cameo but Alia’s character could’ve been done with better writing. Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran have nothing to offer here. Ray Stevenson and Alison Doody are effective as the antagonists. Olivia Morris, Edward Sonnenblick, and all other supporting casts play their parts well.

The first half of RRR is a package of emotion, humour, and action. Jr NTR and Ram Charan’s dancing and the choreography in ‘Naacho Naacho‘ song deserve applause. NTR manages to bring a few laughs when he tries to befriend Olivia Morris. The screenplay in the second half is a bit slow, some scenes seem unnecessary and they were added just to increase the runtime. There was a large room for editing in the film. VFX and the cinematography were top-notch. The music and the background score were enthralling.

RRR Movie Rating:
Direction 3.5/5
Acting 3.5/5
Action 4.5/5
Story 3/5
Screenplay 3/5
Overall Hit ya Flop Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Stars (Very Good)
