RRR Trailer Review: Just like Baahubali, SS Rajamouli’s upcoming magnum opus is enjoying buzz like anything. Ever since the project was announced with names like Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, and Alia Bhatt, the film was said to be a blockbuster. Now, the trailer is out and has already shattered records! But is it worth all the hype? Let’s discuss this in detail.
First of all, get it clear in your mind that SS Rajamouli is a maverick filmmaker. He is known for gifting some visually appealing films that are full of grandeur. But unlike most filmmakers, his work always assures you a high dose of entertainment. So, it’s not only about the big canvas.
Speaking about the trailer (Hindi), RRR takes you back during the British era in India. It starts with a person speaking about a girl one British officer forcibly took away along with him. The girl belongs to the Gond tribe. And there enters our first hero, Jr NTR. He looks heroic, especially when he roars back at a tiger.

Jr NTR is a powerful man, fighting against all evils. To stop him, one police officer, a part of the British police force, is appointed. He’s none other than Ram Charan. He too gets his share of the heroic entrance. Interestingly, as the trailer suggests, Ram and NTR share a close friendship, more or less a bond of brotherhood. However, Ram arrests NTR for being a rebel against the British government.
The trailer takes a twist when we witness Ram Charan and Jr NTR coming together to take on their enemies.
Apart from the two leading men, the RRR trailer glimpses us with Ajay Devgn’s powerful presence. Unfortunately, we got to see just a little of Alia Bhatt.
Speaking of the SS Rajamouli’s cinematic canvas, in a duration of 3 minutes and 16 seconds, the filmmaker excites us with tremendous sets and VFX work. Especially, the fight shots towards the end look superb. Also, hands down to background music, that holds your attention.
On the whole, the RRR trailer lives up to its hype! Now, keep your calm and wait for January 7, 2022.

Director: S.S. Rajamouli
What’s Good: Frankly, all of it. Extraordinary visual effects & a suitable background score enhance the film’s plot. What absolutely stands out is the war sequence in the film; it took them 200 days to shoot the elaborate action. The detailing, precisions & sheer aggression of this war sequence makes ‘Bahubali’ a one of it’s kind film. Bodies pile up faster than a city’s garbage, and weapons from Indian tales are used most imaginatively. Yet you can’t get enough of it! That it merges weaponry from Indian epics & Amar Chitra Katha with technical wizardry of 21st century VFX, makes this portion stand out from Hollywood comparisons.
What’s Bad: Honestly, some of the acting is just over the top. Mythology shouldn’t translate to melodrama, but in this film, it does.
A flaw that catches your eye in this otherwise near perfect canvas is the cardboard model like kingdom of Mahashwate. It’s the only flaw in the authenticity that this film’s elaborate VFX manage to achieve.
Loo break: You gotta go only if you gotta go!
Watch or Not?: Most definitely, watch! The visual spectacle alone is worth experiencing, apart from enjoying a genuine Indian mythical tale of good versus evil. ‘Bahubali’ has achieved what many films have aspired to-mind-boggling scale.
Also, watch this film for its dream like treatment of extraordinary feats that look effortless after Rajamouli’s treatment. Be it Prabhas climbing a gigantic waterfall step by step, or chasing a fairy princess like Tamannaah who turns out to be hardened, sexy warrior with a weaponized mid riff, aesthetics and allure ease out the aggression at suitable points.
User Rating:
Bahubali is something else! That’s the first thought that strikes you when you leave the theatre. A mythical tale of a displaced heir to a kingdom who accidentally returns as the prodigal son, the film captures Indian mythology in a grand, action packed and dramatic visual ride. Be it a suffering, brave mother; or another who gives her life to protect the baby Bahubali, or a cruel king egged on by lowly courtiers; or a nature loving, swashbuckling, natural born king, Bahubali encapsulates elements of mythology in modern cinema in breath taking fantasy.
The first part of Rajamouli’s epic covers the journey that leads Shiva to become Bahubali. A likeable, handsome & super strong young man, Shiva moves rocks, boulders & a solid Shiva Linga with some effort and lopes around, carrying them like rucksacks. All that he does is incredible, and hints that his destiny is meant for a life beyond the regular. A childhood dream to climb a waterfall is fulfilled after a fairy like beauty (Tamannaah) entices him; she turns out to be the warrior, Avantika who is fighting the evil king of Mahashwate, Bhallal Deva (Rana Daggubati). Bhallal Deva has imprisoned their queen, Devsena (Anushka Shetty), whom Shiva sets out to free. That’s when he is spotted as Bahubali. The film builds up to a dramatic end, and closes on a promise of more to come in its sequel.
Despite complete leaps of imagination and superhuman qualities to its hero, this fantasy- mythical film shocks and awes at first watch, making you contemplate a second trip just to get your head around the whole deal!
Baahubali Review: Script Analysis
The script isn’t absolutely new or fabulous. To be fair, as its director S S Rajamouli has often said, the film encapsulates tales of Amar Chitra Katha to create a story of destiny & justice. It draws from various Indian mythical tales.
Baahubali Review: Star Performance
Prabhas is on top of his game & Rana Daggubati is menacing in perfect mythical villain manner.
But while Prabhas, Rana & Ramya Krishnan are brilliant, others tend to over bulge their eyes, over puff their chests & over do every emotion.
