I keep forgetting this is on Netflix so I'm bumping this to remind myself to watch it.
Here's an article why streaming isn't the best option (cropping) but I think for now, for me at least, it's the only realistic one.

I wrote about this film in the Watching Now thread in the main forum. It's fucking brilliant! Ridiculously over the top but also has literal shittons of heart. A couple of the action scenes are all time over the top classics and I'm surprised to say my favourite bit was the dance sequence.
I would call it an Indian Once Upon A Time In China."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Hyman Mandell.

I know we're all about physical media here but I think this quote from Joe Russo is very hard to dispute: "“And I would say in five years, [digital distribution] has probably done more for diversity and access to diverse and international films than Hollywood has done in 50 years.”""Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right."

RRR has some cheeky fun moments and entertaining action, but spread out over three hours, the percentage isn't high. And, the script really is Sharknado stupid.
I've seen a few other Indian action/musical films so I guess I wasn't as wowed by just the sheer spectacle alone as all those folks proclaiming: YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE!!
Not to mention, that if such a dunderheaded movie were made by Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich -- a lot of the folks who are praising it to the skies would be laughing it off the screen. Exoticsm at its most blatant.
