RRR
September 6, 2022, 6:50 PM
$8.50 – $10.50
One Night Only!
OK, when was the last time you stood up and cheered at a film? No cap—this is what literally has happened for audiences seeing RRR. This has been true for Indian audiences both in RRR’s native country and for Indians and Indian-Americans here—but the Indian cinema, and this astonishing piece of action filmmaking, like Hong Kong film a few decades ago, remains almost unknown to other audiences here. You will be happy you changed that when you see RRR. This film is what theaters are for, pure big screen joy. Some movies have a moment that makes you want to stand up and cheer, RRR is a series of them expertly connected. The emotions are intense; there are three action scenes that would be the climax of a Fast and Furious film that happen before the opening title card drops 40 minutes in; there is a dance number that is inspiring audiences to dance in front of the screen. RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) is an exhilarating, action-packed epic that imagines a fictional friendship between two real-life Indian freedom fighters set into motion when a young girl is stolen from her rural village by British soldiers. One of them (megastar Jr NTR) is the village's protector, sworn to bring her back, while the other (also a megastar, Ram Charan) is a junior officer serving the British Raj, who vows to stop him... though he has a separate mission of his own. Check it out!
