As with any Nandamuri Balakrishna-starrer Telugu movie, ‘Veera Simha Reddy’ will also be high on action. The grandeur of the movie can be witnessed in the making video released by the movie unit. The team constructed huge sets and action episodes were shot impressively.

Particularly interesting is the canning of a shot where Balakrishna gives a stern gaze and then delivers a serious warning, as S Thaman’s background score resonates.

It’s a dream project for director Gopichand Malineni who is a die-hard fan of Balakrishna. Veera Simha Reddy is not completely an actioner, as the movie will have family emotions in right proportions.

Balakrishna’s son Mokshagna and his daughters Brahmini and Tejaswini also paid a visit to the sets.

The team is leaving no stone unturned to keep up the buzz. Particularly, the first two songs scored by S. Thaman turned out to be massive hits.

They have now come up with the third song ‘Maa Bava Manobhavalu Debbathinnayi’ which must be seen on the big screen to be believed and so, the makers chose a city theatre to launch the song.

Balakrishna and Chandrika Ravi take the song to another level with their super-energetic dances. Balakrishna, in particular, is so animated throughout the song, and Chandrika Ravi oozes oomph. The visuals look imaginative in the song shot in some vibrant sets.

National Award winning music director Thaman is scoring the music for this film,...

Straight out of Tollywood: “Rrr,” a bigger-than-life and bolder-than-mainstream action-adventure epic, is performing mightily in international release as audiences marvel at its spectacle, embrace its emotions, and sway to its music while being repeatedly gobsmacked by its unfettered audacity. Propelled by the Telugu Cinema triumvirate of superstars N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan and director S.S. Rajamouli — whose combined names are one reason for the triple-consonant title — the movie is such an irresistible and intoxicating celebration of cinematic excess that even after 187 minutes, you are left exhilarated, not exhausted. Which, truth to tell, is hard to say about certain comic-book movies from two major extended universes.

Mind you, the two protagonists here aren’t supposed to be superheroes. In fact, they are flesh-and-blood humans out of Indian history: Komaram Bheem, a revolutionary leader and guerrilla fighter from the Gond tribe during the British Raj; and Alluri Sitarama Raju,...

S.S. Rajamouli’s “Rrr” is a dazzling work of historical fiction — emphasis on the “fiction” — that makes the moving image feel intimate and enormous all at once. A pulsating period action drama, it outshines even the director’s record-smashing “Baahubali” movies (viewers familiar with them probably won’t know what to expect here) thanks to its mix of naked sincerity, unapologetic machismo, and balls-to-the-wall action craftsmanship. The film is playing on over a thousand screens in North America, and watching it with a packed audience familiar with Telugu-language cinema is likely to yield one of the noisiest and most raucous theatrical experiences imaginable. Plenty of recent releases have been hailed as “the return of cinema” post-pandemic, but “Rrr” stands apart as an unabashed return to everything that makes the cinematic experience great, all at once.

To talk about the film in any meaningful sense — especially for unfamiliar viewers — first requires setting the stage.
