It is a question both heroes must ask themselves, both in the course of battle and its aftermath. There is even a flicker of romance between Bheem and the Governor’s niece, who lends the revolutionaries a crucial hand when needed. It is the old chestnut of means and ends. That said, there is an interesting undercurrent of intersectionality at the Governor’s garden party (shot in Ukraine, incidentally) where all the ladies are very taken with our heroes and want to give their kind of dancing a go, much to the chagrin of their men. As for the railways, Britain’s much-vaunted legacy to Empire, the only train in RRR, catches fire on a bridge and collapses into the river that is the people’s livelihood. RRR wastes no time on nuance; it doesn’t give a second’s credence to the lingering British belief that theirs was a benevolent kind of colonialism.

I don't have Thursday night grosses for A24's limited release of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's mindblowing multiverse comic melodrama, but my 8:15 pm IMAX ...

Of note, I sought out Saaho and War in 2019 because I enjoyed watching wildly extravagant and visually spectacular action-adventure movies on an IMAX screen, especially ones created by a film industry that (generically speaking) seems to love John Woo’s Mission: Impossible II as much as I do. RRR is currently playing in 947 theaters domestically (more than double the 425 theaters in which Baahubali 2 opened), although it only had IMAX or PLF auditoriums for yesterday. This release is being specialty-priced courtesy of the distributor, and you can’t use your AMC A-List or Regal Unlimited passes, so that should be noted as the grosses roll in. The full Thursday gross was $3.3 million, but late night/early morning Friday shows now puts the running cume at $4.5 million. Anyway, RRR was the top movie on Thursday, grossing $3.3 million via a Thursday opening. I don’t have Thursday night grosses for A24’s limited release of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s mindblowing multiverse comic melodrama, but my 8:15 pm IMAX showing at Burbank was packed like sardines and reacting in exactly the “right” way throughout.

Baahubali series director S.S. Rajamouli returns with another three-hour action epic, this time inventing a crowd-rousing history where real-life Indian ...

The dynamic between Bheem and Raju has shades of the macho bromance of John Woo’s 1980s movies, until it transforms into a superhero team-up. Raju has a sweetheart back home — his childhood friend Sita (Alia Bhatt), to whom he pledged eternal loyalty before leaving his village to join the Indian Imperial Police. So he acts as Bheem’s wingman, helping Bheem charm sympathetic Englishwoman Jenny (Olivia Morris) with his aw-shucks attitude and impressive dance skills. Rajamouli is skilled at balancing the film’s many elements, so “overstimulated” isn’t quite the word for how walking out of RRR feels. Jr NTR (the common abbreviation for N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) and Ram Charan, both Telugu superstars in their own right, show off those skills in the rousing “ Naatu Naatu,” RRR’s only real musical production number. [Ed. note: We recommend viewers check local listings or contact the theater to make sure you’re catching the version of RRR you want to see. Bheem trips and knocks a silver tray out of a waiter’s hand at a garden party? This last point makes its way into RRR, as part of a storyline that reframes Raju as a supercop on a mission to take down the British power structure from within. Picture Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere joining the MCU, with Franklin harnessing the power of electricity, and Revere the swiftness of the wind. They’re two strangers who agree with a nod to embark on a dangerous impromptu rescue mission to save a little boy trapped by a flaming train accident on a Delhi river. There’s a similar moment in RRR (“Rise Roar Revolt”), S.S. Rajamouli’s action-drama hybrid about the adventures of two Indian revolutionaries who have divergent approaches to resisting British occupation in 1920s Delhi. The difference is, in RRR, it’s just one of half a dozen scenes of its kind. RRR explains gaps in both men’s histories by proposing that they became friends after they each made their way to Delhi in the early 1920s — Raju as an undercover imperial cop, Bheem on a rescue mission to save a village girl kidnapped by a colonial governor. Raju, meanwhile, led guerrilla attacks on imperial police stations, seizing British guns and ammunition to level the playing field between colonizer and colonized.
