RRR

I have been reading great reviews about “RRR”, an Indian film that is currently streaming on Netflix. I wasn’t quite sure of what to expect from a plot described as the story of two friends and how they help and save each other in many situations. It is Hollywood vs. Bollywood with a bow to “Rambo” and “Crouching Tiger/Hidden Tiger”. At over three hours, it’s a major time commitment, but it is well worth it. The story is about the fight for Indian independence in the 1920’s from the British who are portrayed as terrible oppressors. It has action, some of it surreal, a compelling story with lots of twists, music and is beautifully filmed. The two leads are big Bollywood stars and are excellent. This film was a pleasant surprise because I did not expect it to be so good. In fact I would list this as one of the top movies of 2022. I strongly recommend this film.
