The movie ran well in the box office, collected a whopping 1,115 crore rupees, became Top 5 in Netflix US. A global sensation that is much hyped and successful in getting high ratings in many online movie review and rating platforms.
When I watched the film in theatre, I felt goosebumps covering all over my skin. The experience felt indescribably great. But still it seems the movie isn't a great one.
Visual Effects and Direction are all top-notch, one of the best in Indian Commercial Cinema. But something that is really necessary for a film to be good is a well-written screenplay, and that's what the film lacks horribly. The story is very weak and shallow that the director made all the aesthetic dependent on the breathtaking visual effects, larger-than-life protagonists and over-the-top action scenes.
The action scenes are all well-shot and pulsating, and the defiance of physics doesn't have to be taken into consideration.
Also at the same time, the most significant problem of the film lies here too. At the end of the film, it seemed like the whole movie was made only to be a gallery for action scenes. The exaggerated action scenes, even though they are good to watch, doesn't have a good story to be attached with. The story is too weak that it cant even be considered a story.
Two guys form a friendship, later on splits apart and forms the friendship once again, and fights for their aim together. If I go for a better detailing it will end up in spoilers. The two lead characters are also resembled with historical and mythological characters, but even that wasn't given any proper writing. The lack of depths in characters and weak conflicts are the main problems that could be seen in the screenplay.
It's a movie on a budget of 550 crores, but the story is not something that satisfy spending on that scale. And it's an SS Rajamouli film, the magnificence of his previous films like Baahubali is explicitly missing in RRR mainly due to the apparent lack of quality in the screenplay.
Whatever it is, the film is still a watchable one. The visual effects and action scenes does the job of making the viewer stay focused on the screen till the end. But still, those VFX stunts are all just instant gratification, not something of good artistic value.
