'RRR' Glimpse: Rousing, scintillating, heroic

On Monday, the team of 'Roudram Ranam Rudhiram' presented to an eager audience a 45-second glimpse into the universe of the multi-starrer. A massive, pan-India film, what is most exciting about the glimpse is that we see both Jr NTR and Ram Charan in an ultra-emotional avatar in a few glimpses. If some of the shots are racy, others allow the viewer to let the visuals sink in.

Alia Bhatt, who is paired up with Charan, is seen in a teary pose, wearing a beautiful saree. Set in the pre-Independence era, the action blocks involve the two freedom fighters, Komaram Bheem and Alluri, and the British.

While it is a disappointment that there are no dialogues to speak of, the film seems to be a VFX-heavy outing (VFX supervision is by Srinivas Mohan). The visual of a ferocious lion towards the end is riveting.

Also starring Olivia Morris, Tamil actor Samuthirakani, Alison Doody, Ray Stevenson and others, 'RRR' will hit the screens on 7 January 2022. With screenplay by director SS Rajamouli, its story is by Vijayendra Prasad.

From Senthil Kumar's cinematography to Sabu Cyril's production design, from Keeravaani's music to Sreekar Prasad's editing, 'RRR' has got the most promising team bringing out a terrific product.
