Indian cinema has once again shocked us with the very exciting trailer of SS Rajamouli's next film, RRR.
With an average production of 1,600 films annually, between 2014 and 2019, compared to 500 Hollywood productions, Indian cinema is one of the most vibrant and prolific worldwide. However, despite its diversity and productivity, its visibility on French soil is still very limited. But this doesn't prevent certain jobs from slipping through the cracks.
We can take, for example, the filmmaker SS Rajamouli who created a diptych The Legend of Baahubali: Part 1 And The Legend of Baahubali: Part 2 successfully screened in French cinemas in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Hopefully the fate of the director's next film will be similar, Because RRR revealed in a very impressive trailer.
As a reminder, the starting point of this film is the Indian revolution in the early 1920s against the British colonialists. The story then becomes a fantasy around two legendary revolutionaries and their travels before their engagement. And the term phantasmagoria then sounds like a gentle euphemism in the face of what this trailer promises extraordinary entertainment of a disproportionate magnitude.
A crowd of angry extras, a tiger snarling two centimeters from the actor's head, an exploding train, all kinds of vehicles that defy the laws of gravity, some heavy blows with sticks in various guises as well as a number of explosions and burning objects as we like them: these pictures RRR set all sliders to full and announce a truly crazy blockbuster, generous and, moreover, technically far from ridiculous.

The special effects are impressive and seem to match perfectly with the technical choreography and action. which adds a concrete and organic touch to this giant machine that doesn't seem to give in to anything digital – unlike certain Hollywood productions.
If it's not easy to find coherence in this whole gloubi-boulga of action, adventure, comedy, drama and history, then it's hard not to let yourself be carried away by the scale and soaring character of this object. has all the great entertainment that American studios have offered, with rare exceptions, over the years.
No release date has been announced yet to find out RRR in our French roombut to say that this truly crazy project greatly piqued our curiosity seems to be an understatement.
