RRR’s made loud noise across the globe
RRR, a fictional drama that debuted in theatres last March, is based on the lives of two well-known revolutionaries and real-life heroes, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. It is set in the 1920s, just before India became independent. Tarak was cast as Bheem while Ram Charan played the role of Ram. During its theatrical run, the movie made over 1000 crore rupees. Since the movie was re-released in a few places as part of the Beyond Fest and became available on Netflix a few months ago, the west has been enthusiastically celebrating the movie.
