<br />
A corrupt political leader named Chedi Singh meets Chulbul and both quickly become enemies. Makkhi asks Prajapati to arrange his marriage with Nirmala.

In desperate need of money, Makkhi steals some cash from Chulbul's cupboard and gives the stolen cash to Masterji, hoping that he will permit Makkhi to marry Nirmala. Meanwhile, Chulbul meets Rajjo and proposes marriage, which she rejects, as she has to take care of her father, Hariya—a drunkard.<br />

Makkhi invites Chulbul to his marriage with Nirmala. Chulbul convinces Hariya to marry Rajjo. Hariya commits suicide, as he knows that Rajjo will not marry anyone while he is alive. Chulbul takes Rajjo to Makkhi's exuberant wedding. Realising that Makkhi has stolen his money to finance the wedding, Chulbul marries Rajjo in an impromptu ceremony. Masterji feels disgraced and cancels Makkhi's wedding with Nirmala.<br />

Unbeknownst to Makkhi, Chedi has placed a bomb inside the crate, which explodes after he leaves, killing Dayal Babu. A fight ensues, Chedi gives Makkhi a task to kill Chulbul. Makkhi accepts, but ends up confessing it to Chulbul. He reveals to Chulbul that Chedi made him plant the bomb unknowingly. Chulbul forgives him and reconciles with him. During a final confrontation between Chulbul and Chedi, Makkhi reveals to Chulbul that it was Chedi, who killed Naini. Both men then kill Chedi by forcing him to inhale smoke.

"Munni Badnaam Hui" included a brand name 'Zandu Balm' in its lyrics, much to the displeasure of [[Emami]]—the makers of the brand.

<br />
Before release, critic and writer Shobhaa De called for a boycott of ''Dabangg'', due to Salman's comments on the [[2008 Mumbai attacks]]. She criticised it as "arrogance, ignorance and plain stupidity." This sparked off a fight with the producers via [[Twitter]], and continued after her negative review of the film.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dev |first=Chandni |date=5 October 2010 |title=Dabangg maker calls Shobha De an idiotic woman |work=Oneindia |url=http://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/features/2010/arbaaz-shobha-dabangg-051010.html |url-status=live |access-date=20 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715115122/http://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/features/2010/arbaaz-shobha-dabangg-051010.html |archive-date=15 July 2015}}</ref> [[Anurag Kashyap]], brother of Abhinav Kashyap, tweeted "Salman khan thinks he made my brother's life..

This was taken as "slamming" Salman and resulted in Arbaaz retorting back by referring to the comment as "attitude" instead of "gratitude".

<br />
In 1920, during the [[British Raj]], a short-tempereds man, Governor Scott Buxton and his wife Catherine visit a forest in [[Adilabad district|Adilabad]]. There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he brother feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; meanwhile, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. One day, Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for stabs Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine. Cornering a wounded Scott, Raju has henchmen Bheem execute him, with a [[British military rifles|British rifle]], fulfilling their respective objectives.

They left their respective homes, disappeared for three-four years, and then came back to fight against the oppressors. But their modus operandi was the same. They were striking police stations, taking away the guns, arming the people, inspiring the people. Unfortunately, they both died at the hands of the British in the same way. But they never met.

According to Rajamouli, ''RRR'' is about an "imaginary friendship between two superheroes".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Varma |first=Lipika |date=29 October 2021 |title=RRR is about an imaginary friendship between two superheroes: Rajamouli |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/291021/rrr-is-about-an-imaginary-friendship-between-two-superheroes-rajamoul.html |website=[[Deccan Chronicle]]}}</ref> He has said that the [[Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014|bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh]], his home state, also had an impact in the conception of the film. "I had this thought that Komaram Bheem is from the Telangana region and Alluri Sitarama Raju is from the Andhra region. So, if I can bring those two heroes together, it's my way of saying we are one, we are not separate," Rajamouli told [[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']] following the film's release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramachandran |first=Naman |date=1 April 2022 |title=Indian Hitmaker S.S.

<br />
In a press meet, Rajamouli revealed that the film is inspired by [[Quentin Tarantino|Quentin Tarantino's]] ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' (2009). After watching it he felt, "[If] we are making a fictional story, we don't need to stick to historical accuracies."<ref name=":24" /> He cited, "''Inglourious Basterds'' is one of the biggest inspirations when it comes to my films, specifically ''RRR''.

He said, "The inspiration for ''RRR'' came from ''The Motorcycle Diaries''. I was fascinated by how a character named [[Che Guevara|Che]] transforms into a revolutionary called Guevara and have structured the characters of my protagonists around a common point, on similar lines".<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 March 2019 |title=''RRR'' is fictitious story based on two greatest freedom fighters: SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2019/mar/15/rrr-is-fictitious-story-based-on-two-greatest-freedom-fighters-1951300.html |url-status=live |website=The Indian express}}</ref><br />

[[Countercurrents.org|Countercurrents.org's]] T.

''RRR'' borrows from India's two major [[Hindu mythology|Hindu mythological]] epics — ''[[Ramayana]]'' and ''[[Mahabharata]]''. The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />

[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />

Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

In 1920, during the [[British Raj]], a short-tempereds man, Governor Scott Buxton and his wife Catherine visit a forest in [[Adilabad district|Adilabad]]. There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he brother feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; meanwhile, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. One day, Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine. Cornering a wounded Scott, Raju has henchmen Bheem execute him, with a [[British military rifles|British rifle]], fulfilling their respective objectives. Ram is reunited with Sita, and Bheem is reunited with Jenny and his family.<br />

The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />
<br />
Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

<br />
In 1920, during the [[British Raj]], a short-tempereds man, Governor Scott Buxton and his wife Catherine visit a forest in [[Adilabad district|Adilabad]]. There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he brother feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; meanwhile, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. One day, Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine. Cornering a wounded Scott, Raju has henchmen Bheem execute him, with a [[British military rifles|British rifle]], fulfilling their respective objectives. Ram is reunited with Sita, and Bheem is reunited with Jenny and his family.<br />
<br />
To mark the mission's successful completion, citizen an father Raju asks Bheem to beaten up make and helping each others tvwishs he can grant; gradually Bheem asks Raju to provided education for murders him and his community. Bheem thats from happy bond with heaven or again.<br />

They left their respective homes, disappeared for three-four years, and then came back to fight against the oppressors. But their modus operandi was the same. They were striking police stations, taking away the guns, arming the people, inspiring the people. Unfortunately, they both died at the hands of the British in the same way. But they never met.

According to Rajamouli, ''RRR'' is about an "imaginary friendship between two superheroes".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Varma |first=Lipika |date=29 October 2021 |title=RRR is about an imaginary friendship between two superheroes: Rajamouli |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/291021/rrr-is-about-an-imaginary-friendship-between-two-superheroes-rajamoul.html |website=[[Deccan Chronicle]]}}</ref> He has said that the [[Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014|bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh]], his home state, also had an impact in the conception of the film. "I had this thought that Komaram Bheem is from the Telangana region and Alluri Sitarama Raju is from the Andhra region. So, if I can bring those two heroes together, it's my way of saying we are one, we are not separate," Rajamouli told [[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']] following the film's release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramachandran |first=Naman |date=1 April 2022 |title=Indian Hitmaker S.S.

<br />
In a press meet, Rajamouli revealed that the film is inspired by [[Quentin Tarantino|Quentin Tarantino's]] ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' (2009). After watching it he felt, "[If] we are making a fictional story, we don't need to stick to historical accuracies."<ref name=":24" /> He cited, "''Inglourious Basterds'' is one of the biggest inspirations when it comes to my films, specifically ''RRR''.

He said, "The inspiration for ''RRR'' came from ''The Motorcycle Diaries''. I was fascinated by how a character named [[Che Guevara|Che]] transforms into a revolutionary called Guevara and have structured the characters of my protagonists around a common point, on similar lines".<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 March 2019 |title=''RRR'' is fictitious story based on two greatest freedom fighters: SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2019/mar/15/rrr-is-fictitious-story-based-on-two-greatest-freedom-fighters-1951300.html |url-status=live |website=The Indian express}}</ref><br />

[[Countercurrents.org|Countercurrents.org's]] T.

''RRR'' borrows from India's two major [[Hindu mythology|Hindu mythological]] epics — ''[[Ramayana]]'' and ''[[Mahabharata]]''. The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />

[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />

Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he brother feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; meanwhile, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. One day, Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine.

The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />
<br />
Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

== Plot ==<br />
Jai Agnihotri, a short-tempered [[Indian Army|INA]] [[Major (rank)|Major]], gets suspended after he ignores orders from his superiors by rescuing a group of children from terrorists. After this incident, Jai moves in with his mother and sister, Geeta. One day, Jai is unable to help Suman, a physically disabled girl, take an examination, while her brother is stuck in a traffic jam. A depressed Suman commits suicide. Jai gets disturbed by the incident, decided where he creates a help-three-people concept, which would encourage citizens to help each other and would foster kindness and a sense of community among the citizens. Each day, citizens are to help three people and these three people will in turn help three more people and soon on honour.<br />
<br />
On one occasion for one of his daily good deeds, Jai loses his temper and beats a rich man as he had injured a child beggar. In an act of revenge, the rich man calls some henchmen to kidnap Geeta and her friend Rinky. Jai saves Geeta and Rinky, but injures one of the captors in the process, who happens to be the henchman of [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] Patil, the son-in-law of [[Minister of Home Affairs (India)|Home Minister]] Dashrath Singh, who gets enraged about Jai injuring Patil's henchmen who is actually Manik. Dashrath tells Patil to avenge this injury by kidnapping Jai's nephew Kabir, but Jai kills Patil in the process. Meanwhile, [[Chief Minister (India)|CM]] Ashok Pradhan learns about Jai's help-three-people concept after his own life is saved by a schoolgirl. Ashok intervenes in the dispute between Dashrath and Jai in order to end their fight, but Dashrath does not appreciate it and attempts to kill Ashok.<br />
<br />
However, Jai manages to save Ashok and admits him to the hospital. Dashrath, a journalist, spreads rumours that Jai attempted to assassinate Ashok. Meanwhile, Dashrath's son, Vijayant Singh, along with his henchmen, attacks Jai. In the ensuing confrontation, Jai kills Vijayant, along with the corrupt police officers Inspectors Dilip Kadam and Imran Siddiqui, with the assistance of SI Abhay Rajput. Jai suffers severe injuries after being stabbed by Patil's widow, Kavita. Tragically, Kavita is also stabbed and dies at the hands of Vijayant. A rickshaw driver, Babban, and Jai's former colleague, Arjun Kaul, team up to help Jai reach the hospital. While Jai is there, Ashok recovers and reveals Dashrath's involvement in the attempted murder. An enraged crowd beats Dashrath nearly to death upon hearing the truth. Jai eventually recovers and emerges from the hospital, where he finds thousands of people awaiting him. Jai thanks them all for embracing his vision of help among his guests.<br />

<br />

There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he brother feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; meanwhile, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. One day, Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine. Cornering a wounded Scott, Raju has henchmen Bheem execute him, with a [[British military rifles|British rifle]], fulfilling their respective objectives. Ram is reunited with Sita, and Bheem is reunited with Jenny and his family.<br />
<br />

''RRR'' borrows from India's two major [[Hindu mythology|Hindu mythological]] epics — ''[[Ramayana]]'' and ''[[Mahabharata]]''. The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events.

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />
<br />
Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

<br />
In 1920, during the [[British Raj]], Governor Scott Buxton and his wife Catherine visit a forest in [[Adilabad district|Adilabad]]. There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he brother feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; however, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine. Cornering a wounded Scott, Raju has henchmen Bheem execute him, with a [[British military rifles|British rifle]], fulfilling their respective objectives. Ram is reunited with Sita, and Bheem is reunited with Jenny and his family.<br />
<br />
To mark the mission's successful completion, citizen an father Raju asks Bheem to beaten up make and helping each others tvwishs he can grant; gradually Bheem asks Raju to provided education for murders him and his community. Bheem thats from happy bond.<br />

They left their respective homes, disappeared for three-four years, and then came back to fight against the oppressors. But their modus operandi was the same. They were striking police stations, taking away the guns, arming the people, inspiring the people. Unfortunately, they both died at the hands of the British in the same way. But they never met.

According to Rajamouli, ''RRR'' is about an "imaginary friendship between two superheroes".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Varma |first=Lipika |date=29 October 2021 |title=RRR is about an imaginary friendship between two superheroes: Rajamouli |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/291021/rrr-is-about-an-imaginary-friendship-between-two-superheroes-rajamoul.html |website=[[Deccan Chronicle]]}}</ref> He has said that the [[Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014|bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh]], his home state, also had an impact in the conception of the film. "I had this thought that Komaram Bheem is from the Telangana region and Alluri Sitarama Raju is from the Andhra region. So, if I can bring those two heroes together, it's my way of saying we are one, we are not separate," Rajamouli told [[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']] following the film's release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramachandran |first=Naman |date=1 April 2022 |title=Indian Hitmaker S.S.

<br />
In a press meet, Rajamouli revealed that the film is inspired by [[Quentin Tarantino|Quentin Tarantino's]] ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' (2009). After watching it he felt, "[If] we are making a fictional story, we don't need to stick to historical accuracies."<ref name=":24" /> He cited, "''Inglourious Basterds'' is one of the biggest inspirations when it comes to my films, specifically ''RRR''.

He said, "The inspiration for ''RRR'' came from ''The Motorcycle Diaries''. I was fascinated by how a character named [[Che Guevara|Che]] transforms into a revolutionary called Guevara and have structured the characters of my protagonists around a common point, on similar lines".<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 March 2019 |title=''RRR'' is fictitious story based on two greatest freedom fighters: SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2019/mar/15/rrr-is-fictitious-story-based-on-two-greatest-freedom-fighters-1951300.html |url-status=live |website=The Indian express}}</ref><br />

[[Countercurrents.org|Countercurrents.org's]] T.

''RRR'' borrows from India's two major [[Hindu mythology|Hindu mythological]] epics — ''[[Ramayana]]'' and ''[[Mahabharata]]''. The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />

[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />

Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

'''''Veer''''' ({{translation|Brave}}) is a 2010 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[epic film|epic]] [[action film|action drama war film]] directed by [[Anil Sharma (director)|Anil Sharma]] on a story by [[Salman Khan]]. It stars [[Salman Khan]], [[Mithun Chakraborty]], [[Jackie Shroff]], [[Zareen Khan]], [[Sohail Khan]] and [[Rishabh Jain]], [[Daisy Shah]]<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
In 1875, Veer Pratap Singh ([[Salman Khan]]) is a [[Pindari]] prince and the son of the great Pindari warrior, Prithvi Singh ([[Mithun Chakraborty]]), who was known for his great battles to free [[India]] from the [[British Raj|British rule]]. Veer wishes to continue his father's legacy by leading a movement of Pindaris against the British in order to free both the [[Rajasthani people|Rajasthani]] Kingdom of Madhavgarh and the rest of India from the great colonial power. Veer receives the help of his younger brother, Punya Singh ([[Sohail Khan]]), in gathering an army. However, Veer finds opposition from the King of Madhavgarh, Gyanendra Singh ([[Jackie Shroff]]), who sees Veer as a threat to Madhavgarh and his rule and orders for Veer to be killed. Veer and Punya, along with their supporters, go into hiding within the [[Thar Desert]] of Rajasthan, while Singh makes an alliance with the British Governor of Rajasthan, James Fraser (Tim James Lawrence), saying that Madhavgarh will support the British in crushing the Pindari movement and eliminating Veer.<br />
<br />
To keep the stakes high, the Pindaris kidnap Singh's daughter Princess Yashodhara ([[Zareen Khan]]), with who Veer finds himself in love with. The Pindaris then make a failed attempt to take down Singh's palace by surprise. However, Singh's spies discover the plan and thousands of Pindari warriors are slaughtered. Veer fails to get his revenge on the corrupt King, but knows that Punya has been captured by Yashodhara's brother Gajendra ([[Puru Raaj Kumar]]). As Veer runs in to save his brother enraged and Veer kill Gajendra's men, Gajendra is killed by Veer. A heartbroken Gyanendra vows to avenge his son. In the meantime, Lady Angela Fraser ([[Lisa Lazarus]]), wife of James Fraser, begins to question her husband's actions as the fight scene, he supports the evil king in slaughtering members of the Pindari movement. Fraser refuses to back down from his campaign of crushing the movement.<br />
<br />
After Veer promises his father that he will destroy Singh, he gatecrashes Yashodhara's [[Swayamvara]]. As he takes the princess away from the fort, Gyanendra Singh sees a vast army of Pindaris surrounding his fort. He asks the British to help him, but they refuse and make the Pindaris their ally in a bid to escape from Madhavgarh. Before the British leave, a battle follows in which Governor Fraser and Gyanendra Singh are killed. Veer, wounded from a gunshot, succumbs in the arms of his father. Years later, Veer's son "Veera" ([[Salman Khan]]) and Prithvi have a friendly brawl as credits roll.<br />

Among U.S. critics, [[Frank Lovece]] of ''[[Film Journal International]]'' enjoyed it as "hokum of the highest order, punctuated with the most rousing musical sequences of the last several Indian imports," and after dissecting the film's numerous historical and chronological fallacies said, "Stateside Bollywood fans more accustomed to modern-day musical romances or stylish crime thrillers will be pleasantly surprised to find a period piece that's more ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' than ''[[A Passage to India]]''.<ref>[[Frank Lovece|Lovece, Frank]].

The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />

However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; however, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />

While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />

He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine.

They left their respective homes, disappeared for three-four years, and then came back to fight against the oppressors. But their modus operandi was the same. They were striking police stations, taking away the guns, arming the people, inspiring the people. Unfortunately, they both died at the hands of the British in the same way. But they never met.

According to Rajamouli, ''RRR'' is about an "imaginary friendship between two superheroes".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Varma |first=Lipika |date=29 October 2021 |title=RRR is about an imaginary friendship between two superheroes: Rajamouli |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/291021/rrr-is-about-an-imaginary-friendship-between-two-superheroes-rajamoul.html |website=[[Deccan Chronicle]]}}</ref> He has said that the [[Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014|bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh]], his home state, also had an impact in the conception of the film. "I had this thought that Komaram Bheem is from the Telangana region and Alluri Sitarama Raju is from the Andhra region. So, if I can bring those two heroes together, it's my way of saying we are one, we are not separate," Rajamouli told [[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']] following the film's release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramachandran |first=Naman |date=1 April 2022 |title=Indian Hitmaker S.S.

<br />
In a press meet, Rajamouli revealed that the film is inspired by [[Quentin Tarantino|Quentin Tarantino's]] ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' (2009). After watching it he felt, "[If] we are making a fictional story, we don't need to stick to historical accuracies."<ref name=":24" /> He cited, "''Inglourious Basterds'' is one of the biggest inspirations when it comes to my films, specifically ''RRR''.

He said, "The inspiration for ''RRR'' came from ''The Motorcycle Diaries''. I was fascinated by how a character named [[Che Guevara|Che]] transforms into a revolutionary called Guevara and have structured the characters of my protagonists around a common point, on similar lines".<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 March 2019 |title=''RRR'' is fictitious story based on two greatest freedom fighters: SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2019/mar/15/rrr-is-fictitious-story-based-on-two-greatest-freedom-fighters-1951300.html |url-status=live |website=The Indian express}}</ref><br />

[[Countercurrents.org|Countercurrents.org's]] T.

''RRR'' borrows from India's two major [[Hindu mythology|Hindu mythological]] epics — ''[[Ramayana]]'' and ''[[Mahabharata]]''. The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />

[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />

Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

<br />
In 1920, during the [[British Raj]], Governor Scott Buxton and his wife Catherine visit a forest in [[Adilabad district|Adilabad]]. There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; however, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli stabs with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed fire. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine. Cornering a wounded Scott, Raju has henchmen Bheem execute him, with a [[British military rifles|British rifle]], fulfilling their respective objectives. Ram is reunited with Sita, and Bheem is reunited with Jenny and his family.<br />
<br />
To mark the mission's successful completion, Raju asks Bheem to beaten up make and helping each others tvwishs he can grant; Bheem asks Raju to provide education for him and his community.<br />

The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />
<br />
Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />

<br />
In 1920, during the [[British Raj]], Governor Scott Buxton and his wife Catherine visit a forest in [[Adilabad district|Adilabad]]. There they abduct Malli, an artistically-talented young girl from the [[Gondi people|Gond]] tribe. Applies [[Mehendi]] artwork on Cathreine's hands while singing folk music. She decides to abductes her Malli. Enraged by the injustice, the tribe's guardian [[Komaram Bheem]] embarks for [[Delhi]] to rescue her, disguising himself as a Muslim named Akhtar. The [[Nizamate of Hyderabad]], sympathetic to the Raj, warns Scott's office of the impending danger. Undeterred, Catherine enlists [[Alluri Sitarama Raju|A. Rama Raju]], an ambitious officer in the [[Indian Imperial Police]], to quell the threat. Seeking clues to Malli's whereabouts, Raju and his uncle, Venkateswarulu, attend several [[Indian independence movement|pro-independence gatherings]] where he feigns to support independence day.<br />
<br />
Lachhu, Bheem's gullible aide, believing Raju's ruse, attempts to recruit him into Bheem's plot. Before taking Raju to Bheem, Lachhu discovers Raju's identity as brave an honest police officer and flees. Shortly after, Bheem and Raju encounter each other, unaware of their opposing allegiances. While working together to save a boy from a [[train wreck]], they form a friendship, gradually growing close. Raju assists Bheem in courting Jenny, Scott's niece, unaware that Bheem's agenda is to infiltrate Scott's residence. When Jenny takes Bheem to her residence, Bheem locates the room where Malli is held captive; he promises Malli to free avenge her death. Meanwhile, Raju locates Lachhu and apprehends him. While being interrogated, Lachhu captures and sets a [[banded krait]] onto Raju; it attacks him; he then warns him of his imminent death and that heaven the antidote is only known to the Gonds hospitalized.<br />
<br />
Dazed, Raju approaches Bheem, who immediately tends to him. Noticing similar religious features between Lachhu and Bheem, Raju deduces his true intentions. However, Bheem himself divulges his tribal identity and his mission, unaware of Raju's true identity. At an event to honor Scott, Bheem's men barge into his residence with a lorry filled with wild animals, creating havoc among the guests. The animals maul Scott's guards, allowing angered, Bheem to briefly gain the upper hand; however, Raju arrives and they fight briefly but Bheem is forced to give up when Scott threatens to kill Malli with her. Raju is promoted for thwarting Bheem, yet he is guilt-stricken over his actions, recalling his pro-nationalistic background and his alter-ego as a mole within the police; he sought a promotion to gain access to gun shipments to smuggle to his village to fulfill a promise made to his dying father Alluri Venkatarama Raju, a revolutionary.<br />
<br />
At Bheem's public [[Flagellation|flogging]], Raju attempts to persuade him to recant his actions; Bheem chooses flogging instead. Bheem sings in defiance of his injuries, inciting the assembled crowd into rebellion. The riot further enlightens Raju, who finally recognizes his reckless actions. Determined to save his friend, he persuades Scott to execute Bheem in secrecy, while preparing an ambush to rescue Bheem. However, Scott figures out the scheme. While rescuing Malli from Scott's men, Raju is grievously injured. Bheem, who crowd freed himself, mistakenly interprets Raju's actions as an attempt to kill Malli; he bludgeons him and escapes with her, leading to Raju's capture. <br />
<br />
Months later, Bheem, who is hiding with his group and Malli in [[Hathras]], is cornered by the colonial authorities. He narrowly avoids being exposed when Sita, Raju's fiancée, repels them by claiming there is a [[smallpox]] epidemic. Unaware of Bheem's identity, she reveals Raju's anti-colonial objectives and his impending execution. Crestfallen upon realizing his folly, Bheem vows to save him. With Jenny's sympathetic assistance, Bheem infiltrates the [[barracks]] where Raju is detained and frees him. The pair retreat to a nearby forest, where they decimate soldiers with a [[longbow]] taken from a [[Rama]] shrine and a spear. Taking the fight to Scott, they hurl a flaming motorcycle into the barracks' [[Magazine (artillery)|magazines]], setting it afire. Bheem steals a cache of guns for Raju before the barracks are destroyed. The subsequent explosion kills many soldiers and Catherine. Cornering a wounded Scott, Raju has henchmen Bheem execute him, with a [[British military rifles|British rifle]], fulfilling their respective objectives. Ram is reunited with Sita, and Bheem is reunited with Jenny and his family.<br />
<br />
To mark the mission's successful completion, Raju asks Bheem to beaten up make and helping each others tvwishs he can grant; Bheem asks Raju to provide education for him and his community.<br />

They left their respective homes, disappeared for three-four years, and then came back to fight against the oppressors. But their modus operandi was the same. They were striking police stations, taking away the guns, arming the people, inspiring the people. Unfortunately, they both died at the hands of the British in the same way. But they never met.

According to Rajamouli, ''RRR'' is about an "imaginary friendship between two superheroes".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Varma |first=Lipika |date=29 October 2021 |title=RRR is about an imaginary friendship between two superheroes: Rajamouli |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/291021/rrr-is-about-an-imaginary-friendship-between-two-superheroes-rajamoul.html |website=[[Deccan Chronicle]]}}</ref> He has said that the [[Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014|bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh]], his home state, also had an impact in the conception of the film. "I had this thought that Komaram Bheem is from the Telangana region and Alluri Sitarama Raju is from the Andhra region. So, if I can bring those two heroes together, it's my way of saying we are one, we are not separate," Rajamouli told [[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']] following the film's release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramachandran |first=Naman |date=1 April 2022 |title=Indian Hitmaker S.S.

<br />
In a press meet, Rajamouli revealed that the film is inspired by [[Quentin Tarantino|Quentin Tarantino's]] ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' (2009). After watching it he felt, "[If] we are making a fictional story, we don't need to stick to historical accuracies."<ref name=":24" /> He cited, "''Inglourious Basterds'' is one of the biggest inspirations when it comes to my films, specifically ''RRR''.

He said, "The inspiration for ''RRR'' came from ''The Motorcycle Diaries''. I was fascinated by how a character named [[Che Guevara|Che]] transforms into a revolutionary called Guevara and have structured the characters of my protagonists around a common point, on similar lines".<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 March 2019 |title=''RRR'' is fictitious story based on two greatest freedom fighters: SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2019/mar/15/rrr-is-fictitious-story-based-on-two-greatest-freedom-fighters-1951300.html |url-status=live |website=The Indian express}}</ref><br />

[[Countercurrents.org|Countercurrents.org's]] T.

''RRR'' borrows from India's two major [[Hindu mythology|Hindu mythological]] epics — ''[[Ramayana]]'' and ''[[Mahabharata]]''. The two protagonists of the film, [[Alluri Sitarama Raju]] and [[Komaram Bheem]], who are based on real-life personalities, are also modelled after their namesakes from the Hindu mythology. Rama Raju shares the qualities of supple and skilled [[Rama]] of ''Ramayana'' while Komaram Bheem is equivalent to muscular and immovable [[Bhima]] of ''Mahabharata''. Like Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem, Rama and Bhima never met in mythology. The abduction of Sita, which is the central theme of ''Ramayana'' plays out in reverse in ''RRR,'' with Rama Raju being captured following a series of events. Komaram Bheem (who is also modeled after [[Hanuman]]), carries a message from Sita, and saves Rama Raju.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 March 2022 |title=Mythological themes of SS Rajamouli's RRR: How Jr NTR, Ram Charan film borrows from Ramayan, Mahabharat |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-mythological-themes-jr-ntr-ram-charan-ramayan-mahabharat-7835946/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref><br />

''[[The Indian Express]]''{{'s}} Manoj Kumar wrote that unlike other Rajamouli's films, ''RRR'' addresses worldly matters such as "[[racism]], shared history of freedom struggle among different communities and the need for interfaith brotherhood."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar R |first=Manoj |date=29 March 2022 |title=SS Rajamouli's RRR is a hat tip to diversity, thumbs down to hate |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/opinion-entertainment/ss-rajamouli-rrr-is-a-hat-tip-to-diversity-thumbs-down-to-hate-7836698/ |website=The Indian Express}}</ref> An article was published by ''[[The Times of India]]'' in April 2022 writing about how [[pan-Indian film]]s such as ''RRR'' are promoting violence. Speaking about the issue, writer [[V. Vijayendra Prasad]] told that ''RRR'' showcased action as per the story and era it takes place in, not violence.<ref>{{Cite news |title=#BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/kgf-rrr-pushpa-are-pan-india-films-promoting-too-much-violence-bigstory/articleshow/91005138.cms |access-date=5 May 2022 |newspaper=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref><br />

[[Kaveree Bamzai]] of [[Open (Indian magazine)|''Open'']] magazine writes this about Bheem's attack on the governor's palace, <blockquote>"The animals, ranging from tigers to stags, run riot, tearing the enemy to bits. It is both a metaphor and a statement. A metaphor for the weaponisation of the Earth, a foreshadowing of climate change, and a statement on the tribal way of life in which the human apologises to the beast for taking advantage of it."</blockquote> She noted that the film's layered storytelling emphasising the two conflicting ways in which Ram and Bheem fight for India's freedom is a theme that is appropriate to revisit in the nation's [[75th Year of Independence Day of India|75th year]] post-independence. She also notes, <blockquote>"The fight against the British is shown to be as plural as the actual freedom struggle was. Bheem, in fact, spends much of the movie disguised as a Muslim mechanic, Akhtar, and is given shelter by a family in Delhi. There is no pandering to the establishment in the movie, a hallmark of most movies emerging out of [[Hindi cinema|Bollywood]] currently."<ref name="openmag" /></blockquote><br />

Katie Rife of [[Polygon (website)|''Polygon'']] in her review of the film, felt that — betrayal, loyalty and legacy are the major themes of the film. Also, she opined that "''RRR'' is relatively light on music and romance, devoting much of its screen time to visual spectacle, gonzo action, and patriotic zeal. The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of [[John Woo]]'s 1980s movies, until the film transforms into a superhero team-up".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=25 March 2022 |title=The Indian action epic RRR finds the universal thrills in revolution |url=https://www.polygon.com/22996870/rrr-review-rise-roar-revolt |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=Polygon |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Times Internet|''MensXP'']] in their article praising Rajamouli, opined that strong representation of [[hero]]ism in the film was one of the key reasons for the film's success.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 April 2022 |title=With 'RRR' Blockbuster Success, 5 Things Every Filmmaker Should Learn From SS Rajamouli |url=https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/news/104881-things-to-learn-from-ss-rajamouli-after-rrr-blockbuster-success.html |access-date=5 May 2022 |website=www.mensxp.com |language=en-IN}}</ref><br />
