Not salsa, not flamenco, my brother

The depth of your understanding of this movie is impeccable and the comparison with Star Wars is such a refreshing take on movie review. May the foRRRce be with you.

That dialogue Ram said while exercising in the jail to his prisoners is one of the best lines from the Bhagwad Gita itself

As from India, it's so proud that this movie got a global recognition from all over the world, and a greatful impact. When I saw the notification of this video, I was like wtf, I suddenly clicked to it.

I loved this video, I stopped this video at the dance part and had to watch the movie then I came right back to finish this video and now I’m leaving a comment, this movie was awesome and I’m happy your channel helped me find it

As a Star Wars fan and a South Indian, I'm literally in tears. This is surreal.

This is crazy. I literally watched RRR last night

My appreciation for Indian just went up 1000% after watching RRR. It's unlike anything I've ever seen. Needs to win multiple Academy Awards, the actors need to star in another movie and the director needs to be hired by Warner Bros. but seriously they cab use a director like this. This is what cinema has been missing for years, there is a cookie-cutter type of movie making that all the big studios turn out every year and there is nothing that really stands out. Well this stands out like a Where's Waldo in a sea of rubber duckies. I rarely watch movie anymore because there is nothing that really holds my interest but RRR kept my attention throughout.

I’m soooooo happy that RRR is breaking through to wider audiences. It’s a GLORIOUS film.

I cannot believe Star Wars Explained is discussing an Indian Movie. Since many elements of Star Wars have been inspired by Indian culture (like Ahsoka), this video was a true joy to watch. Today is a great day indeed.

RRR is the only movie that deserves to be 3 hours long

Giving rep to RRR is def the good fight... watched it after Corridor spoke about it and you're right, it's totally bonkers and made me cry!

RRR is completely bananas, and I love it. I consistently had to stop and rewind because I was laughing, cheering, or clapping (in my dang living room). Good on ya, Star Wars Explained! Thanks for plugging this insane and wonderful flick.

I caught this by chance on Netflix and it is absolutely my new favorite movie!

I am definitely enjoying the reviews of epic "Star Wars like" movies. It's a great way to diversify your channel without getting too far from your original idea.

Well proud Indian (Telugu) moment 😅 It's a great movie indeed from my country and my state industry and being a star wars fan too

Perfect!! Absolutely agree with you! (curiosity didn't kill the cat, so glad I watched... RRR is a fantastic movie - great job with the parallels)

Nice review. It's actually quite interesting to see RRR from the StarWars perspective. 9:29 : The quote is from the Bhagavad Githa. The movie actually gets its inspiration from Indian cultures and the great Epics like Mahabharatham, Ramayanam and Bhagavad Githa and tells the fictional story of friendship between two freedom fighters and India's struggle for freedom.

I love RRR at the same level I love Star Wars. Great job here!

If this doesn’t get an Oscar I’m gonna call it rigged

What a uniquely fantastical take on RRR. Refreshing.

RRR. is one of the best movies of all time. It's definitely on my top 10. And it made me cry. In a good way. That movie deserves a sequel.

I’m really loving this series of sorts of you talking about non StarWars movies in a manner that is still tied to the themes of what StarWars represents.

Note the symbolism in the rescue of the boy off the bridge; Bheem grabs the boy, foreshadowing his rescue of his sister, Raju grabs the flag of rebellion, symbolizing his goals, then they swap. (Psst! Leopards, not cheetahs. Cheetahs are totally non aggressive. )

this movie definitely has the spirit of star wars. both characters are strong in the force. this explains their amazing abilities.

Yes.. Raju character drives the story and loved the character arc .. Ramcharan did fantabulous job.. you are on point

YESSSSS! It's SO good. Saw it a few weeks ago and obsessed is the only way to be after watching it. Really happy when I saw this video... everything's coming up RRR!

RRR: A Star Wars Story Very wholesome review man 👏

RRR is probably the most entertaining movie ever made. Period.

One experience as a Star Wars fan from India to tell: When I came to know that George Lucas had inspiration from Japanese and Italian movies and after watching Star wars: Visions, I wrote a fanmade draft based on Indian cult movie Sholay, but set in Star wars universe. It's a story of two kind-hearted crooks, who come across a village where a former cop who arrested them once, insists them to fight against a ruthless dacoit. In my story, I replaced the village with planet, crooks with galactic smugglers and the dacoit with an imperial planetary leader.

Just WOW!.... Amazed how much effort you have put... Literally one of the best review of RRR I have seen on KZfaq... Keep it up man.

I think using your platform to sing the praises of RRR is super cool of you. As a Star Wars fan and fan of RRR, I’m with you bro

Not a single boring moment. What a masterpiece!

As a Telugu guy myself, having witnessed the magic of S.S.Rajamouli over decades. this review comparing with Star Wars is best thing I have watched of all the reviews by foriegners. And it does have parallels to Star Wars, so it does make sense. Kudos to you! May the foRRRce be with you!!

Lol as an Indian who's been in love with Star Wars since I was like 7, almost 3 decades ago, the concept of this video made me happy. One of the most understated Star Wars themes is Fatherhood, and this film clearly had elements of that as well.

Thanks will check out this film on Netflix. The film is in the Telugu language. It may take some historical liberties but feels like an action film.

Yah RRR is a masterpiece. Can’t wait for the English reboot that butchers it.

Being from India and from the Telugu speaking states this has made my day🥹🥹

"Why doesn't every film end [with a song and dance number]?" Well, there was that time when a lot of animated films had a Dance Party Ending, but that's possibly not the same thing.

I loved your review of RRR!! You’re spot on!! RRR represents the best of what Star Wars was.

RRR is so amazing!!! I listen to the party dance song on Spotify all the time.

This is one of the best reviews of RRR, and the parallel you have drawn with Starwars in incredible.

We need a rerelease of this masterpiece 😍

Enjoying this new segment so much! Love discovering new stuff that capture the spirit of Star Wars, which is large in part what makes me love this franchise so much. 💖

i have to say i am so happy that i trusted you on this star wars explained🙏🏻

This is probably my favourite video on internet right now.....oh man as a die hard Star Wars fan, and being an absolute sucker for the mythic storytelling in the franchise....I always wanted a film where Indian myths were combined with realism to form contemporary Legends....And when RRR came out I was soooo happy and the first thing I said was..."I have not been this happy watching a movie other than A New Hope" and then here Star Wars explained is making this video to legitimate my every single claim is somewhat satisfactory...And the thumbnail immediately sent me in an alternate zone where I imagined Ram Charan as a Rebel Spy or an X wing Pilot and Jr. NTR running some animal training centre on Utapau in the place where Obi Wan got Boga!!!.....It would be the best thing ever

Ram is shown as conflicted from the beginning. When he jumps into the crowd of 1000s, he is ferocious but takes care not to intentionally kill anyone. When he captures Bheem's accomplice, he tortures for info but lets him go once it is clear that he is certain to die due to the bite from the snake that his captive threw at him. He is torn about arresting Bheem and is unable to look him in the eyes. While fighting Bheem, he is careful to take is friend alive. During Bheem's flogging scene he sheds a tear while wiping blood from his face and takes care that the other more aggressive soldiers don't fatally injure his friend. He carefully whisks away an unconscious Bheem when the rioting starts. These show the immense strength of his character throughout the movie. Unlike western audiences, Indians knew from the beginning that this guy was playing the British for some reason. Also, Ram Charan would never be cast as an antagonist based on his previous work.

So happy that our RRR, Telugu🔥 language film a.k.a Tollywood film, is entertaining this many people all over the world irrespective of language, culture, continents etc., You should have watched it in Theatres in original Telugu🔥 language with packed audience to get full entertainment out of it. I watched it 3 times in theatres. It's still running in the US & will be released in Japan in October.

I'm a year late, but only just watched this movie. Loved it so came to find reviews to see if I was alone (I'm not). But this is great as I'm a SW nerd too. Another link, which I'm sure you know - Lord Baylan 👌

Seeing RRR in theaters tonight for special screening. Cant wait!

I love this movie. My favorite film from 2022 so far and Ive seen 40+ new movies this year

This is such a great video, captures the star wars essence 🎉

Good to see RRR getting popularity everywhere.indian cinema growing.

I really liked RRR but was blown with your review and comparison with SW, what a great vid!

As an Indian and a Star Wars fan I love this! Love this review so much! Thank you 'Star Wars Explained' for always bringing joy, fun and love in everything you do!

9:20. “Let not the result be your motive…..”that’s the English translation. He is reciting the Geeta. 5000 yrs old. You do what you have to do. Your duty. Do not worry about the outcome. That’s not for you to ponder upon. Once you are in the right path, you cannot be inactive fearing the result. This is what Krishna tells the warrior Arjuna in the battle field of kurukshetra when Arjuna is disheartened that all his valor, knowledge of weaponry and might, will now have to be used in a war where he is fighting his own friends, family and teachers who have chosen the wrong side. Krishna tells him “you perform your duty as a king to your people. The result might be that you kill your own but that’s not your fault. Leave the result of this act to me. I (as the universal conscious) will take the responsibility”.

Am from India and a huge Rajamouli fan. I would've seen the Star Wars parallels. RRR could actually be a v interesting template for a good star wars story! Great analysis

After Endgame, it was only RRR where Indian theaters went bonkers!!!

The climax is not the song... It's just a promotional video shot... They added it like for fun.

Well said Alex. I couldn’t agree more. This is such an incredible film and I can’t recommend it enough.

Thank you for your support for good content movies. Few Hippocrates in India says it was not a good movie. I have watched it in theatre 8 times and watched another 2 times on OTT. Best theatrical experience of the year.

Oh, man, I absolutely love this video. I'm obsessed with this movie too, and it's been MONTHS since I watched this film. Have seen it only 3 times so far. Your analogies regarding Star Wars and RRR were so on point, and I think it's because both the stories took some inspiration from Hindu epics. RRR definitely did. And I found some elements in Star Wars as well. I totally agreed with you on Bheem, but will slightly disagree with you on Ram (Raju). I don't think he was completely lost in the darkness. The way his father died, the way he saw his mom, little brother, and other villagers die in front of him, would have affected him far too deeply, especially at the age this tragedy happened. He had made the toughest decision in killing his father... Anything else wouldn't even come close, would it? He was heavily conflicted. Torn between his loyalty to his country, promise to his father, and love for his best friend, he had to make the decisions that were no less than swallowing a mouthful of poison. He always had a good in him. It never went anywhere. Bheem's resolve made him understand things better, obviously, but he was always a good fellow, painfully broken. In the first watch, he comes across as a cruel, ruthless monster, but watching him more and more makes you see brokenness that's beneath surface. God, I love Ram so much. He's my comfort character but also heavily traumatized. Ram Charan did such a terrific job with him. Phenomenal performance from him.

The passion in the words , just awesome 😍

Dammit I never realized Andor is basically RRR

I love the way you explained. I never watched star wars and now it is on my watchlist.

Although I agree with you that the overall structure of rrr is similar to star wars, the characters of ram and Bheem are heavily inspired from Hindu epics like ramayan and Mahabharata. Specially ram's character , who actually soars to be lord Ram himself in the climax.

To all the Americans going crazy over RRR, you are in for a treat if you decide to dive deep into the world of Indian cinema. Here are some Great films that have had a huge impact on the Indian Audience. I hope you'll love it- 1. *3 Idiots* ( a story about 3 engineering students, and how they tackle the various hurdles coming their way, MASTERPIECE) 2. *Tumbbad* ( easily the most unique horror thriller India has ever put out, took 16 years for the vision to come into fruition) 3. *Ship of Theseus* ( the most mindful movie of India) 4. *Jallikattu* (excellent cinematography, and unique storytelling) 5. *Kumbalangi Nights * (just a simple story of 4 brothers going through life, and my ALL Time favourite movie ever) 6. *Taare Zameen par* ( story of a mentally challenged kid, and how the right way of education can change one's life) 7. *Padmavat* (remarkable direction and Grand production design) 8. *Sardar Udham* ( very realistic portrayal of a True story of revenge of an Indian man against a tyrannical British General, and Impeccable cinematography) 9. *Baahubali the beginning* & *Baahubali the Conclusion* (by the same director of RRR and so far the most successful movie in Indian cinema history, story about kings and heitage, lineage, revenge, etc. , BLOCKBUSTER)

Star Wars and RRR are both bases on the Indian Epic: Ramayana! Evil powers kidnap a woman. Two brothers save the girl and burn down the enemy' capital.

One of the greatest Bromance ever told

A huge Star Wars fan from India. Thank you so much for this video. So amazingly presented. RRR has really broken barriers & became a global phenomenon

3:25, Load+Aim+Shoot. Many things are running in parallel in this scene. A father is ready to sacrifice himself for his country. A father giving his final lessons to his son (load, aim, shoot). A father asks for some final vows before leaving. A son, helping, sobbing, and getting ready to fulfil his father's promise.

Ray Stevenson as terrific villians in both RRR and Star Wars

I watched this last night and oh my god this movie was fricking AMAZING! Like Jeremy Jahns says; this movie really is AWESOMETASTIC

you literally told the story like telling someone a movie script. Well done.

The music also feels like a strong connection to Star Wars. It's bombastic, powerful, emotional, and makes heavy use of leitmotifs. M M Keeravani thanked John Williams at an award ceremony and called him his inspiration.

I was 12 in 1977 and was TOTALLY Star Wars obsessed throughout the rest of the 70s and early 1980s. I totally agree with your assessment!

OMG! I loved this movie too. Thank you for doing this video.

It’s a ridiculously wild yet highly entertaining movie

Pls watch baahubali 1 and 2 by the same director, you will find similar parallels with star wars, especially the point of saving what you love and not fighting what you hate is the main crux of that movie

Absolutely fantastic movie!

This is so great . Indian cinema getting the appreciate they deserve. Btw RRR is going bigger than the whole Empire 🤣😅. RRR is just 🔥

i havent seen rrr fully yet (but i worked on it to some extent. am in media post production) but to most indians especially south indians, (this is telugu cinema aka tollywood among the 4 in total there) this was regular fare done on a bigger budget. (considering india has systematically produced thousands of films per year in multiple languages/industries within itself despite left in shambles and debt by the brits in 1947) it's lovely to see the globe falling in love with the mythology and craft of indian story telling and this with a telugu flavour to it which is easily the most colorful and "let me go bonkers" film industry of indian films. AND i subbed to you immediately with listening to ur accurate star wars interpretations (especially the metaphor of murican imperialism and vietcong rebellion which many conservative muricans like to shy away from). A true jedi, you are. I will now catch up on your other videos too. btw Rebels is my favorite star wars series yet and i loved hearing the parallels you used from it. for anyone new to the vocabulary, I'll give you a quick rundown of primary indian film industries (there are more regional ones based on different languages) industry name vs. western/english media term hindi films - mumbai/bombay - bollywood from its old name tamil films - tamil nadu - kollywood from kodambakam, an area of chennai which housed old film studios since 1920s (tamil films were the first indian films made) telugu films- andhra - tollywood Malayalam films - kerala - mollywood Bengali films - Bengal - (none) another old film industry which had oscar winning satyajit ray among others

9:19 In the original dialogue, Raju says the lines from Bhagavat Geeta Chapter 2 Verse 47: "Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karmaphalaheturbhurma Te Sangostvakarmani" which translates to, "You have the right to work only but never to its fruits. Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction."

RamCharan is A New Global Sensation he needs Oscar for G.O.A.T Performance.

Yo! I saw this notification and clicked immediately. Thank you for covering this wonderful movie.

RRR for National Awards and Oscars 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

9:22 this line is from Srimad Bhagavad Gita. It's one of my favourite. My most favourite line is the last last line in Gita in which Lord Krishna says "Thus, I have explained to you this knowledge that is more secret than all secrets. Ponder over it deeply and then do with it what you will." Essentially telling us that we don't have to be all that Gods want us to be, it's up to us. Love the freedom and relief in that, when your God tells you that it's okay to be imperfect.

I had been thinking I would probably watch this movie. From your review, I'm definitely going to watch this movie. I don't have Netflix, but I'm gonna figure out a way to watch this movie because of you!

Thank you for spreading the word🙌🏻

Everything is perfect in your review .you should have also mentioned the Fire and Water concept ..they are such a brutal forces on its own and you can see so many references what happens if those forces meet each other .

76 year old woman here loved it. Halfway through the film I had the thought that the British soldiers were no better fighters than the Empire Storm Troopers.

This is possibly the best commentry I have seen on rrr. Thank you for the great video.

If you give your star wars budget to SS Rajamouli, he can cross Avatara life time collections

I lost it in the theatre when both the protagonists jointly said "It's RRR Time"

Your comparison and the understanding of the movies is impeccable , u were spot on all the way through the video. U rock. 🔥🔥

RRR - Just switch off the brain and enjoy the flick Stunning, EPICCCCCC, extraordinary, outrageous, ridiculous high octane action thriller Gobsmacking experience The most entertaining movie from earth RRR - Wildest ride ever One hell on earth RIDE EPICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Watch Eega (2012) from the se director. You'll definitely love it.

Need Raju & Bheem to be in a Star Wars movie ASAP!

I had my breakfast cereal..how astounding is it that it is so similar to Star Wars.

Those words from ram while exercising is a quote by Sri Krishna in Bhagavat Geeta which gives more of a meaning of living in the presence and forgetting about the result.
