RRR In Japan: "The Weekend That Made Us The Happiest," Post Team. Here's Why

A nonetheless from RRR RRR, SS Rajamouli’s magnum-opus starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan in lead roles, continues to roar on the worldwide stage. Oh, and, it’s protected to say RRR’s fanbase in Japan is rising with every passing day. Why do we expect so? The movie has witnessed a “big footfall” after the discharge of Dolby prints and the “improve within the IMAX screens” in Japan. In a tweet,…

Japan really know how to market Salaar for their audiences lmao they know their own target consumers 😭

They know which poster to highlight and distribute it everywhere lmao this would pique anyone interested for sure. They already know who Prabhas is through Baahubali so yeah the curiosity at least to see the face of a man that Prabhas hold so tightly in his arms would bring them to the theater to find out lol.

I already mentioned once the important of promoting this movie the right way in order to make it just as successful Internationally as RRR and KGF. I think they're on the right track now with this marketing choice. Let's see if it would be a hit in Japan's box office.

The movie really be having this mlm vibe with this poster lmao

Tell me if these two posters didn't have the same message 😭😭 it's the notebook for the gays

How the fudge do I even begin talking about this movie? I kept seeing that this movie was amazing, and so I figured I’d try watching it while it was on Netflix. And let’s be straightforward here, it IS amazing, but it’s also insane to think about.

So I don’t know how to start, but I’m going to give it a try.

RRR is an Indian film in Telugu (though Netflix doesn’t have it in that language) featuring real-life Indian heroes Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem as best friends fighting against the British Raj in the 1920’s. Director S.S. Rajamouli wondered what it would be like if the two of them knew each other, and fought together in their efforts to make India independent of the English. The result is an action movie with such amazing and ridiculous over-the-top action sequences (including a dance number!) which cares less about historical accuracy and more about making the most awesome movie imaginable.

And it works???

I’ve been turning this over in my head days after I saw it, because let’s face it: this is nationalist propaganda. I’m trying to figure out why this doesn’t bother me as much as something like Ip Man, which is also transparently nationalist propaganda–part of the Plot of that movie is proving that a Chinese martial art is better than a Japanese martial art. That’s a bit excusable in that instance because it takes place in World War II and the Japanese were not kind to the people they colonized. But it felt really off that the movie’s ending implies that China defeated Japan on their own (they very much didn’t) and China today is more and more happy to oppress its people in pursuing its own nationalist agenda.

[Also Ip Man is still a pretty good movie overall so don’t take this as me hating that movie. But I have problems with it.]

Which is not to say that Indian nationalism can’t be problematic! Oh, it can. But this movie is less ‘We’re better than the colonizer nation’ as much as “We’re awesome, they shouldn’t be oppressing us, we’re not taking credit for winning wars we didn’t win.” Also, it’s worth noting that the Koh-i-Noor is still a part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.

It’s also worth noting that while both Ip Man and RRR are about real-life historical figures, it’s not as if you’ll watch RRR and think of it as being remotely accurate to the true history of things. Look, when characters are able to punch out tigers, I like to think that the audience can realize that some artistic liberties have been taken.

Or maybe I’m just massively overthinking this. It is a movie in which one of the characters is introduced hunting a tiger by leading a wolf to it.

This is a three-hour film, but you are not going to get bored with it. Yes, there are scenes that are not over-the-top action scenes, but they’re all interesting. I wouldn’t say that everything is overdramatic, because that implies something like a tedious soap opera drama. But it is definitely playing into a style of storytelling that plays up the dramatic elements to ensure that every single scene is memorable.

It’s a big, loud, action movie, and its battle scenes are utterly ridiculous in many ways. Raju and Bheem are each a one man army that can curb stomp any enemies that come up against them with very little effort. It’s absurd but it’s oddly satisfying to watch. If you’re a fan of those kinds of fight scenes you’ll find a lot to like here. If you haven’t been exposed to it, you may find yourself becoming a fan.

It’s just darn, fun, man! Which is odd to expect in a movie about fighting colonialism. Maybe that’s more common in India, but in the US our movies tend to make those things into much darker films.

Like I said, there is no way on Netflix to watch it in the original language. It’s also weird because the English character speak in English, but the subtitles don’t always exactly match their dialogue? Maybe that’s something about the Hindi dub, which is what I watched.

There was also a notice before the film began that almost all of the animals in the movie are CGI. It’s pretty obvious with some of them, like the wolves and the tigers. That doesn’t bother me too much, because it seems like making realistic animals was not always the goal–this is a mythic story, so of course the creatures are larger than life.

If you can accept an upbeat, turned-up-to-eleven, three-hour action film in which two Indian bros loosely based off of real-life heroes fight English imperialism, you’ll love this movie. If you can’t, then you might see this movie as too silly for its own good. But once you get into it, it’s loads of fun and an unforgettable film.

Hi, I was watching RRR at the movie theater in my country Japan.

Also, I want to learn, telugu , but I don’t know how. Please someone help me.

[cozyscozystumbler]

[sennqu]

This is such an inspired collaboration that I didn't know I wanted until they announced it.. I can't wait to see what the choreography looks like! Mixing TraJa's Just Dance with RRR's Naatu Naatu... Just Naatu!

I'm like.... whoever came up with this... a genius... If only this series could be watched anywhere online legally orz This would be such a great way to promote TraJa globally but alas... this is a Japan-only program orz

(maybe if there was enough demand..............)

The 5th Annual Derrick Sanskrit "Everyone's a Critic" Awards (part one: music and movies)

(note: I have posted this thread on Twitter at the end of December for the past five years, but with that platform's future more dubious than ever, it makes sense to back up 2022's edition here)

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Time for the fifth annual Derrick Sanskrit "Everyone's a Critic" Awards for all the pop culture I thought was simply the best over the past twelve months.

There's so much, we're gonna slow-drip this year, so let's start with music...

Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack’s solo EP is seventeen minutes of just fantastic collaborations, including a reunion with Pin Me Down bandmate Milena Mepris. Had this been a full LP, it would be way higher in the rankings.

A top-to-bottom reworking of 2020’s New Symbols, this LP benefits from both two more years of Tom Vek’s reflection on his art as well as wider distribution on digital music platforms so people could actually hear it.

Nine years after his debut LP, the French DJ proves his mastery of timeless synth anthems with this album that feels like the soundtrack to a long lost John Hughes movie about sexy computer hackers.

It feels like cheating to include the soundtrack to a 2021 concert film in this list, but the album dropped in 2022 and it freaking rules so whatever. This is the sound of the Dan Greene Cinematic Universe.

A mostly-instrumental album of lush chiptune soundscapes, this high-def volume of Australian electronic anthems begs the question “why aren’t we having another chip resurgence right freakin’ now?” Danceable, worldly, melancholic, and beyond.

A timely reminder that indie rock can be snarky and clever without losing the charm of four-part harmonies and driving hooks. Like cherry red Doc Martens stomping through a field of sunflowers, The Beths show us how to suffer with a smirk.

No album this year felt as immediately BIG as the sophomore effort from this English post-rock phalanx. It commands attention before curling up in a ball to hide at your feet and whisper deep dark secrets in your ear.

Continuing her transformation from cloud rap to pop, Kilo Kish challenges conventions with this collection of toe-tapping bangers about societal woes, public image, self-worth, and the ills of consumerism, all framed within a retro arcade game.

A punk album so specifically of its time without immediately dating itself by naming names. A concept album about running a punk band like a business that comes to its logical conclusion: in-fighting, ego clashes, bankruptcy, and thanking the sponsors.

Simply the best breakup album in ages (sorry Swifties). Cutthroat and callous, honest and earnest, this math rock sophomore LP challenges pop song structure as much as relationships challenge the edges of individual identity.

Wasn't that so much fun? So many fantastic albums in 2022, such wonderful songs to sing and dance to. Good times.

And now, our second category... it's time to talk about MOVIES...

The vainglorious adventures of an aspiring podcaster focusing largely on the culture clash between New York and Texas. Quite possibly the best performance ever from Ashton Kutcher.

While this mock-rock-doc never reaches the parodic highs of Weird Al’s previous “UHF,” the extended Funny Or Die sketch carries heaps of charm with an all-star cast of comedy cameos.

Easily the most unexpected film of the year, this holiday horror fusion brings all the delirious twists and turns you’d expect from the creator of “Too Many Cooks.”

Simply the biggest, boldest, wildest action movie to date, RRR offers more spectacle per minute than Zack Snyder does in an hour, while still finding plenty of time to sing and dance.

Jordan Peele’s third horror film forgoes shocks and scares in favor of slow burn dread with thoroughly enjoyable examinations of race, media, exploitation, and religion.

This celebration of the power of art to question authority and buck societal norms poses the question “what if Freddy Mercury and Jimi Hendrix were best friends in feudal Japan?”

Simply the most fun I had in a movie theater all year. A fast, stylish, star-studded action farce, like Guy Ritchie directing a script by the Coen Brothers, this film taught me more about Thomas the Tank Engine than my nephews ever will.

Proving Knives Out wasn’t a one-off fluke, Rian Johnson delivers a whodunnit with bigger stakes, bigger stars, bigger spectacle, and bigger laughs. A covid-era mystery for Agatha Christie fans of any age.

In their second feature, the Daniels have produced what feels like a once-in-a-generation iconic piece of cinema. Sweeping & grandiose, intimate & delicate, EEAAO is the sci-fi family immigrant tale we never knew we so desperately needed.

The most I’ve cried in the theater since Toy Story 3. Marcel’s journey will melt the most frozen of hearts and make you believe that anything is possible with a positive outlook.
