    When people ask me what RRR is about, I say it’s about a friendship and everything it endures. Bheem and Ram have a genuine love for each other that isn’t romantic, and that’s necessary for men to see. They’re able to demonstrate strength through feats of superhero ability, but also show that strength is valuing family, respecting women, and protecting children. I could go on about it forever.

    After seeing RRR I legit cried for a week straight because it had no 4K disc available. It’s honestly one of my most recent favorites that I constantly watch and the streaming quality while nice being open matte is nothing compared to a disc 😭

  • @Sidneycozzoi

    Yes! Bring back the intermission! Theaters would even make more money if people could go get snacks in the middle of the film without missing anything.

    In two weeks I’m seeing RRR in theaters for the third time and I think it’s my fifth or sixth time seeing it overall. And this will be the first time I’m seeing it in a hopefully full theater. I’m so hype. I’m gonna wear suspenders for Naatu Naatu.

  • @mc1993
    @mc1993 Před 4 měsíci +4

    Because India is a firm believer in pirated IP, that is why they don't release physical copies. Streaming and theater releases is the $ maker. Considering everything that makes a film, hands down Bajirao Mastani (2015).

  • @stuartforbes6022

    Indian movies have an intermission baked into the structure of the film. So if you feel a film is to long you can watch the first half one night and the second half another night.

    Well. I don't think I picked up anything that I'd like to see here. Though that's just my aversion and disdain for musicals lol. Think I've only ever seen one South Asian piece of cinema. জয় বাবা ফেলুনাথ (Joi Baba Felunath / The Elephant God,) A Bengali crime mystery / whodunit film with a character called Feluda who is essentially the Indian version of a Sherlock Holmes or Poirot. Heh. If anyone has any recs where they don't bust out into song, that'd be great.

    It's a bit silly to say you are talking about Indian cinema and then pick three Hindi Language films and RRR. Completely ignoring the other languages of india. Sort of like talking about European cinema and then picking three French films and one German film and acting as if you had covered the entire breadth of Europe. Why not simply limit the discussion to Bollywood films and revisit the other *ollywoods of India later.

      DVDs died because physical media is a production cost and digital distribution is a control mechanism. I think just archiving digital media (with, ya know, hard drives) gets the job done, this feels like a bunch of hipsters trying to make a "warmer sound" argument.
