Choreographer of rrr

The streaming era has its downsides but it’s also helped make the world a smaller place, at least when it comes to entertainment. In an earlier time something like Squid Game might have reached Western viewers as a legend passed around via second-generation VHS tapes or Region 3 DVDs. Instead, it became an international phenomenon seemingly overnight. The same is true of RRR, an Indian blockbuster that’s now just a click away for curious Netflix subscribers after playing to packed houses in India since March (and in a handful of screenings in North America). And, click they have, based on the So what is RRR? Put simply, it’s an overwhelming, often awe-inspiring action spectacle that uses CGI to bend the laws of physics (and reality itself), sending bodies flying through the air and explosions high into the sky. If that sounds intriguing, consider carving out a three-hour block and clicking “play” before reading any further. You won't be disappointed. Anyone wanting a sample, however, might consider skipping to around the thirty-minute mark. There they’ll hit the scene in which the film’s two heroes—Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.), both inspired by real-life Indian revolutionaries though the adherence to fact pretty much ends there—meet, lock eyes, and silently concoct a plan to rescue a child from a fiery death after a train crashes into a river.

Long beloved by Indian moviegoers for his uninhibited, maximalist style and awe-inspiring command of film craft, Telugu director S. S.

V. V. Danayya, the three-hour “RRR” is a delirious, hyper-kinetic spectacle in which the laws of physics and details of history need not apply. Giving Raju and Bheem superheroic agility, impossible strength, and—in viral musical number “Naatu Naatu”—sensational dance skills, Rajamouli’s film so often soars beyond reality that its heroes’ eventual transformation into their namesakes from Hindu mythology—Raju into Rama, of Ramayana, and Bheem into Bhima, of Mahabharata—feels exhilarating but also somehow within the bounds of narrative possibility. Building on Rajamouli’s past larger-than-life features—like the two-part “Baahubali,” another historical epic, and “Eega,” about a murdered man who seeks revenge once reincarnated as a house fly—“RRR” is his biggest to date. First theatrically released in March, the film broke box-office records in India and earned $140 million in its initial release, including $14.5 million from U.S. theaters. Still, it wasn’t until June, with a one-night #encoRRRe event—following its global Netflix debut, in Hindi—that “RRR” exploded stateside and on social media, gaining particular attent...
