Critic Consensus
RRR has been received with widespread enthusiasm, with the majority of critics praising SS Rajamouli's direction, the spectacular action set-pieces, and the lead performances of Ram Charan and Jr NTR, with several calling them career-best turns. The film's sheer scale, visual grandeur, and bombastic entertainment value are consistently highlighted, with some Western critics noting its crossover appeal as an event-worthy cinematic experience. The most common criticism centers on the second half losing momentum and the film's relative lack of emotional depth and narrative nuance compared to Rajamouli's earlier work. A handful of reviewers felt that the relentless pursuit of visual spectacle came at the cost of storytelling and a stronger emotional core.

Updated"SS Rajamouli delivers an epic mythological action superhero bromance. The biggest super-star among them all is SS Rajamouli and the audience also saved the loudest 'taalis' for him."Read full review ↗
"It’s not every day that a new Indian movie—which are typically not advertised to Western viewers beyond indigenous language speakers, and therefore largely ignored by Western outlets—is presented as an event to American theatergoers. Attend or miss out."Read full review ↗
"Rajamouli manages to present an intense story with superb grandeur"Read full review ↗
"RRR is what every 'grand' film before this aimed at being but couldn't be because we've just one SS Rajamouli after all. This lives up to all the hype of 'what's next after Baahubali?' with even bettering that for me."Read full review ↗
"RRR is a big, gaudy, sledgehammer-subtle slice of escapist cinema that is fun from first frame to last. It may have a tenuous relationship with nuance, but RRR is a bombastic delight. Making the Fast And Furious series look restrained by comparison, it hits the parts Hollywood actioners just can't reach."Read full review ↗
"A film that's meant for the big screen RRR is a teRRRific entertainer."Read full review ↗
"RRR has everything to become a blockbuster at the box office and is a film that should be watched only on the big screen"Read full review ↗
"RRR is a terrific film with brilliant performances and amazing set-pieces. Director SS Rajamouli's RRR is an epic war drama featuring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in lead roles, with both actors delivering career-best performances."Read full review ↗
"SS Rajamouli presents the period drama from the 1900s by painting the world with a fresh brush, creating visuals that one has never experienced on the big screen as far as Indian cinema is concerned. While the first half is an edge of the seat drama with spectacular action sequences, the second half dips in pace as the relatively weak conflict starts to reflect, with repetitive sequences that slow down momentum."Read full review ↗
"RRR is not perfection by any means because after the way Rajamouli pulls off certain scenes, you wonder if he could've done a better job in others."Read full review ↗
"RRR is a great addition to Rajamouli's filmography and it is delightful to see a director stand his ground and a make a film without any compromises despite having two star heroes up front."Read full review ↗
"RRR has a fabulous first half and a slightly underwhelming, but thoroughly engaging second half. If you are a fan of either of the stars, watching RRR is a no brainer decision. In case, you are not, the grandeur, larger than life making makes it a sure shot watch."Read full review ↗
"RRR is technically brilliant and the efforts taken in putting the small details perfect could be seen in each and every frame of the movie. Ram Charan evolved as one of the best performers with RRR, while NTR keeps the intensity bar up and above in a new dimension. The plot could have been deeper than it is, but the presence of two terrific actors and their full-on performances are the selling points here."Read full review ↗
"RRR is Rajamouli's most underwhelming film yet in terms of an emotional connect. The director sure knows how to extract performances from his cast and the use of VFX and 3D technology is notches above anything that's been done in India, but the story lacks the emotional core that stood out in his previous films."Read full review ↗
"Delirious is the word to describe S.S. Rajamouli's Indian action-adventure film that has become a worldwide phenomenon both in theaters and on Netflix since its summer release. Wildly entertaining for every minute of its three hour-plus running time, RRR has become one of India's highest-grossing films of all time and is now generating Oscar buzz."Read full review ↗
"There is a story that can potentially move you, make you weep for the characters — but it lies buried beneath the overarching effort to mount one visual spectacle after another. RRR made me wonder if in a bid to keep scaling up, Rajamouli the storyteller is taking a backseat."Read full review ↗
"...no matter how ridiculously any of these moments read on paper, they fit perfectly with the film’s emotional reality, in which love and righteousness flow through the characters like electric superpowers, allowing them to achieve extraordinary, face-melting feats that will leave even the most hardened and cynical viewers feeling childishly giddy."Read full review ↗
"Jr NTR and Ram Charan with their vociferous performances and easy camaraderie leave us enthralled. But it's only Rajamouli who can conjure up the visual magic that makes us want to stay with their story even when it at times appears over zestful and melodramatic."Read full review ↗
"Telugu Cinema Superstars N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan Shine in a Splendidly Exciting Epic"Read full review ↗
"SS Rajamouli, Ram Charan, Jr NTR make a lavish meal of a fairly simple storyline. Ram Charan and Jr NTR's offscreen friendship and camaraderie seep into their onscreen performances, and the organic transformation from strangers to brothers-in-arms has been captured beautifully."Read full review ↗
