Cannot thank Josh enough for what he did with Variance films for RRR to be screened in the US. Each & everyday watching SS Rajamouli getting a standing ovation by the audience at a local US screening is just something else we can't explain.
Thanks, all, for showing some interest in Indian cinema. Please keep it up. Will see if there is better information to guide you to better films. Love from Pune, India.
Brah, the first time watching Baahu 2 in the theatre... was magical. (and it was me really going out of my way to find this gem, it was not even known by anyone in my circle, I just saw a trailer of Baahu 1 and was interested).
Love this discussion! I have been SUPER ignorant of Indian Cinema, until the Corridor Crew youtube channel talking about the special effects! I was CAPTIVATED and SUPER BUMMED that I completely missed this movie as a cinema experience! (Saskatchewan, Canada).. RRR not being nominated for a best picture Oscar is bonkers!!! It’s a spectacle that has made me hunger for more Indian movies, and also to educate myself more on the Empire in India and their fight for independence.
@@joshhurtado5620 Hi Josh. Is there a way to picth that idea somewhere. Or just get a documentariste to be interested in the Idea because RRR is historic in so many ways. It would be interesting to document it's journey. Kudos for all the work that you have done promoting Indian cinema, quite impressive.
@@joshhurtado5620 The footage seems to include the US screenings....Was someone filming any documentary ruclips.net/video/picedyQrROs/видео.html&ab_channel=FilmCompanion
Thank you so much for shedding more light on Indian Cinema. I am the same way whenever there is a 2022 best movies list I am like where is RRR? But the good news is it has made most of the top 10 lists. The bad news however is there are still too many people who do not know about RRR but this might change .And Josh what a vision you had and now it has come to fruition. Kudos.
This is really informative. Us Indians are just happy that Rajamouli is getting international recognition. You guys shed light on what's happening behind the screen, so to speak, for the movies to reach a wider audience. We a naively think that people will watch if the movie is good. Thank you.
There are world beating films & film makers out there in India. I hope the world will discover them soon. Rajamouli, Lokesh are block buster makers. Along with exploring main stream pls try to watch small regional stuffs. There are oscar beating films out there 🙏🏻
As a cinephile who watches a variety of world cinema each year, I have always felt there remains one massive gaping black hole in western/global film criticism, which is Indian cinema. The best Indian films each year are on-par with the best and most talked about in global cinema (US, Europe, East Asia, Iran, etc). Yet purely because it originates from India, frustratingly they largely go unknown or ignored, lost under the incorrect and misleading umbrella term of ‘Bollywood’. As India can have a different and unique cinematic language to the West, a Chinese wall has stuck where Indian films don’t translate easily abroad and likewise vice-versa. I agree with Josh that Indian filmmakers don’t market to non-Indians but it’s a vicious cycle, they have also not been encouraged with any interest. Sadly often there is an ignorant attitude to Indian commercial films abroad of primarily disdain and mockery. Many western critics/filmgoers, who have barely watched any Indian films, have not seemingly updated their clichéd references in the last 30 years - collectively weirdly reducing all of Indian cinema to either laudable Satyajit Ray, 90’s Shahrukh Khan films or a handful of laughable memes passed around on twitter. Wrong and damaging stereotypes that have stuck like Bollywood is a genre or all Indian films, they’re all three hours long, have song/dance and all melodramatic need to broken down first. I truly hope this changes post-RRR with exposure and accessibility. In particular, achievements in cinematography, scale and music/score is top-notch. South Indian cinema in particular is currently going through its own golden age, where budgets, technical craft and technology is finally matching the talent and creativity that was always there, and should not be overlooked.
The best Indian films were from 60s and 70s. In the late 90s Indian films started being heavily westernized and the quality went down tremendously. SSR showed that an authentic Indian cinema will garner much more popular foreign support than bastrdized westernized and urdufied fare of bollywood. Western critics will always lag behind the western popular audience.
Just one point on the ticket pricing point. Not all Indian movies follow that structure, i.e price higher on the opening day and weekend and slowly settle down to the standard ticket prices. Only a few movies where there is craze towards the movie or director or actors follow that....to cash in on the craze.
*_Comment Officially Written By_* *Yadgiri Yoga G.* Nutshells off RRR MOVIE (Rise -Roar -Revolt) Telugu film Industry,India.(Tollywood) 1) Time period of 1920 yr.. True, Real Freedom fighters, seeta rama raju from andhra pradesh state and Komuram bheem from telangana statess, in history both of them Raju and bheem were from same timeline but never met each other in reality, in original history they both went missing for 4 years during this 1920 time period, no one knows where they went and what they did, but after 4 years they both returned to their villages and fought their own fights and both sacrificed their lives for our country, Director rajamouli hv woven a fictional story that what happens if they met each other, and exchange their ideas and ideologies in the time period they went missing... That's how this movie was born.... This movie is about India's freedom from british rule, deologies in the time period they went missing... That's how this movie was born.... This movie is about India's freedom from british rule, 2) whole story concept revealed instantly with an a logic instant ideas applying to the scenes, On Train blast incident, Ramraju catches a flag (a strong will for freedom mission resembles a Flag) n Komuram Bheem save a child (resembles as saviour to get back a girl , mission of Bheem ) exchanged by them, their missions.. 2) In RRR we find the performances of english actors far better, that's because rajamouli approached professionals, the one who played Scott is "Ray Stevenson" one who acted in "Thor" movies, one who played lady Scott is "Alison doody" the lead actress from indiana jones.... .. Rrr released in more than 10languages across the world.. Telugu is original version TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY,(Tollywood), Hyderabad City (Bhagyanagari),2 Telugu States ,India. (Telangana n Andhra Pradesh states) 3) When ram captures bheem's clan member, he catches a snake n attacks ram even though he is tied, that man catching the snake is justified coz they r gond tribals, they know everything abt every animal, how to trap and catch them, n how to treat animal attacks using natural ayurvedic remedies, since they were born n brought up in jungle along with those animals n plants, that's how even jr NTR is able to tame n control the animals during interval sequence.... That song jr NTR sings while being whipped "komaram bheemudo", few non indian and north indian audience may find the song lil distasteful because they r unaware of the importance of the song, the gond tribe (the telangana people) who faced many tortures under the nijam rule, hv developed a habit of singing folklore songs explaining their pain n oppression for years, these songs kind of made those people stronger n revolt against nijams, similarly at the end of the song people revolt, even now a days these songs r famous in Telangana area, we andhra n telangana people r familiar with such songs, but north indian n non indian audience may not hv any idea abt it, even the song komaram bheemudo was written by one of the famous revolutionary singer from telangana area, if u concentrate on the lyrics of the song we can feel the oppression his people r facing.... 4) the subtext or easter egg about the "Barbed whip" that lady scott threw to torture jr NTR is that in the climax when the Scott's empire blows up when lady scott died we can see her body hanging in "Barbed wires" implying that she finally got what she deserved.... "karma is a bitch"🤭🤭🤣 5)near the climax when jr NTR knocks on the floor to find ram who was imprisoned in the ground, he actually knocks the same beats of Nacho Nacho song, so that only ram charan could recognise it's him rather than other possible prisoners, ram charan also reciprocates by knocking the same beat of nacho nacho, even in the earlier scene when ram charam is bit by snake he plays the same beats to communicate with jr NTR, the cinematic brilliance of rajamouli for using a song in so many ways giving easter eggs all the way around is lit🔥🔥🔥 hatsoff to rajamouli 🙏 6) In a scene where they show the security measures of the palace they had 2 doors at entrance, only after closing the 1st door they will open 2nd door, if we observe both the doors clearly and also if we listen to the creek sounds of both doors, we would know the outer door is a wooden one, and the inner door is a metal one, so to rescue malli they can break the outer door but they can't break the inner door, that's the reason y the character jhangu climbs a tree and listens for the 2nd door to open to rescue malli in interval scene... Every small detail in this movie is well planned and well executed... 7) the scene about bheem carrying ram in the climax sequence may seem a bit overemphasized, but even earlier in the film in dosti song there was a shot giving easter eggs, where we can see jr ntr doing squats on the ground lifting ram charan, then ram charan does pull ups holding a tree branch, this way rajamouli is planting an idea subconsciously to his audience that jr ntr got lower body strength n ram charan got upper body strength... So that audience get convinced during the climax scene where bheem carries ram... Even the scene seems physically impossible, rajamouli never hesitates to show his ideas n imaginations in the mostmost convincing way possible, that scene may be impossible but u could never find any other director pulling of such a scene in any film like rajamouli... Respect.... 8) The same way In climax fight sequence bheem lifting a bike looks over the top for sure, but do u know those bikes were actually used during second world war time so that in any unforeseen situation during war the soldiers can actually carry the bikes, those bikes weight around 55kgs only, i agree that even 55 kg bike travelling at 50kmph velocity is difficult to be lifted... But look at the way it was imagined, presented,picturized, the mesmerising cinematography in that scene, the kind of goosebumps it gave us, we should watch the movie for its epicness, rather than being nitpicky about everything.... 9) At the climax that transformation of ram charan🔥🔥, many people thought that was sree ram's avatar, there are many indian purana's references to the movie for sure but its not only sree ram's avatar, it is also about the original look of Alluri seeta rama raju (the freedom fighter ram charan was playing), alluri seeta rama raju in history was well learnt man who wears those kashayam clothes fights with bow n arrows, probably the best archer india has ever had, he fought against britishers he got weapons n guns by attacking police stations n british camps, he used the same weapons to attack britishers with his trusted men... Even he was shot dead bybritishers in the freedom struggle... Legend says that britishers put around 100 bullets in his body n ruthlessly killed him... At the end of the film rajamouli showed ram n bheem in their original looks ram wearing kashayam clothes, with long hair n beard, bheem with a pagdi on his head n those clothes gond people used to wear... 10) the final RRR fact, For the interval sequence with animals rajamouli shot for around 65 nights, each night they spent around 75lakhs for the shoot itself... In that interval sequence they had to imagine animals were there n fight accordingly, for that to happen n so that each n every background artist to be in sync with the CG animals rajamouli employed different tactics while shoot a) for bear they used a person wearing green blanket, since the movement of bear is slow similar to a human being... b)For shots with tiger, tiger moves much faster than humans, so they can't just place a human with green blanket, so rajamouli positioned laser lights following the head position of the tiger, so that camera man n actors can imagine the position of tiger n act accordingly. c) for wolves they used dogs which were trained to catch a ball, while shooting the sequence they randomly throw the balls in middle of men, so the dogs chase the balls, in that way rajamouli captured peoples reactions to wolves, later on during CG he replaced the dogs with wolves... d) for other fast moving animals like deers, they used remote controlled cars moving in between the actors.... n many more...

As Josh rightly said, RRR is an anomaly. Most Indian movies are catered to local audience and their mindset. They may not appeal to the global audience. There is more chaff than wheat as well. Only a handful of directors do something new/good. With RRR's success, the entire Indian industry will probably now take notice of it and try to be more sensible and disciplined in their projects.
I would recommend exploring more movies especially from different movie industries in India . Kantara , Karthikeya 2 , Kashmir Files ,Queen , Tashkent Files ,Syre Narshimha Reddy , URI , Sardar Udham Singh , PS1 , Nayika Devi , Major .
*"RRR" Was An Indian film (Made on a Budget of $69 Million), Then It's Box Office Collection Was $160 Milloin, imagine, If it Was A Hollywood(In English) film, Then it Was Seen All Over The World, Then How Much Would it's Box Office Collection.* 🤔 *Imagine S S Rajamouli With The Budget Of Marvel Films, That Guy Will Create The Greatest Movies Ever.* 🤔
Next rajamouli-esque talent from India is nag Ashwin imo . Watch his previous movies like Yevade subramanyam and mahanati . They are great . Watch out for his next sci fi film called project k . Please review his previous movies
Come on supporting actor for NTR? They are both lead actors in RRR Bheem is not a supporting character is of the leads and everyone understands that. They both deserves nominations in that category but we have not seen it in the award circuit so I doubt the academy would go that way.
As far as recommendations goes. I like to recommend Ram Leela with Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh because it is a remake of Romeo and Juliet but with Indian roots. The cinematography is spectacular and the story telling is very engaging. Also Raazi which is a spy thriller with Alia Bhatt( Seetha in RRR) , she is a big star as well, all her movies are worth a watch.
If you like cinema, the movie 'Qala' is incredible, and the movie "The Last Show / Chhello Show" (India's Oscar submission for foreign film) is just lovely.
Guys RRR is just a spark... India have so many amazing history which will blow your guys mind... if you wish to see more movies like RRR. then push request to Rajamauli to give first prior to Mahabharat... Mahabharat is huge package like Avenger where each character have their own back story. and Mahabharat is End game. So convince SS rajamauli to give you all Mahabharat with detail where you wish to know every character back story. We have huge history against Mughals and Britishers so push those concept on Rajamauli make him to make those movies. I am Marathi guy from Maharashtra, Mumbai and I want to see my Tollywood brother flourish and make India proud
Please ... for. heaven's sake ... how can you leave out PS-1 { PONNIYEN SELVAN - 1 } ... which is TAMIL CINEMA'S Magnus Opus by MANI RATNAM. Also for North Indian Movies this year ... please watch India's answer to " Bobby Sands " on AMAZON PRIME ... called ... SARDAR UDHAM . No Songs ... 120 minutes ... Oscar worthy ... Rivals " GANDHI " by Richard Attenborough ... !!!
Because that is an acquired taste. It is not something to recommend for new Indian cinema audience. They have to be eased into it. It is very cultural as you know. Once they get into it they will find movies like PS1 for sure. Like I thought Sanjay Leela Bansali should have been mentioned as one of the great directors of India.
Who cares about that PS1 in this PS5 era? People outside Tamil Nadu don't even remember it lol. Most boring & not appealing to Indians outside Tamil Nadu. Even the names are cringey to pronounce.
Watch... -3 idiots (highly recommended imdb:8.4 and Rotten tomatoes 100%) -Sardar udham singh (Imdb:8.4 and rotten tomatoes 94%) -Drishyam (Imdb:8.2 and rotten tomatoes 80% and lead actor is Ram's father from RRR) -Andhadhun(Imdb:8.2 and rotten tomatoes 100%) -Tumbbad Imdb:8.2and rotten tomatoes 86%) -Lunch box(Imdb:7.8and rotten tomatoes 97%) -Haider(Imdb:8 and rotten tomatoes 88%)
Telugu films : knows how to connect emotionally to audience Tamil films : advanced technicalities n gorgious shots Malayalam films : simple n very well written script Kannada films : more epic n grand Hindi films: more imaginative n experimental but little to add more about Hindi film are : they experimental films but almost all Hindi movies are Anti cultural n anti traditional which makes them anti national agenda movies which always glorifies terrorist n criminal activities n vulgar kissing scenes n bikini scenes are the USP of Hindi films actually Hindi film are equal to Amazon n Netflix which is more of a left leaning political ideology ie. More vulgar language n scenes and glorification of wrong things n bad doing n sympathy for criminals .... Jai hind jai bharat......
Wow I do not understand when did Hindi cinema glorified criminals? I do agree that they are trying to be like the West using foul language and such now which ia totally unecessary for story telling. But they have some really good movies as well. I tried to get into Malayalam movies and the first movie I came across was a movie about two lesbians. I did not bother to watch it because we get enough woke nonsense from Hollywood. Not all movies are good but I guarantee you there bad movies in all of the industries including across the world.
@@binthamadicamara2077 yes there r bad industries across the world but father of those bad industries is Hindi cinema, there are lot of movies which anti culture n tradition and about glorification of criminals then some example Haider with Shahid Kapoor , haseena palkar with shraddha kapoor there r lot of examples u get ....
@@vikassomvanshi1848 have u watched qala ? An action hero ? Watch them u will understand hindi cinema makes good movies And Telugu Tamil also shows vulgar scenes u don't know kif
I died a little, when he said the entire world is getting interested in south Indian cinema. BUT bollywood makes only shitty movies tbh and are overhyped. And India as a whole should disassociate with bollywood. Hahahaha
It's just west downplays indian filmmakers and their work. Many indian films are better than eventual Oscar winners like coda spotlight etc etc. If you see malayalam tamil their drama films are comparable to hollywood. But hollywood lives on its own superiority model. I watched sardar udham jallikattu and i can proudly say it was better than most hollywood films that year. Hope RRR makes west especially hollywood to realise they are not superior there is a whole artists that are living in subcontinent that are greater than them in arts.yes they have technology but in story telling indians are second to none. Still sad that after satyajit ray west is recognising RRR. So many great films left in middle. But it's too little too late
as an indian, i fully appreciate you guys in supporting indian movies and spreading the word...
Good films and stories need to be supported!
Cannot thank Josh enough for what he did with Variance films for RRR to be screened in the US. Each & everyday watching SS Rajamouli getting a standing ovation by the audience at a local US screening is just something else we can't explain.
Thanks for this guys . Thankyou Josh for pushing Indian movie market internationally
Thanks josh I am a die hard fan of rajamouli from his first movie I thought this would happen 20 years ago, now this is coming to fruition ❤
(Steve here) I only became aware of Rajamouli this year. Better late than never 😊
Thanks, all, for showing some interest in Indian cinema. Please keep it up. Will see if there is better information to guide you to better films. Love from Pune, India.

Thank you Josh you are amazing ❤️👍

很開心能告訴RRR導演與團隊，千萬不要為了迎合國際發行而改變電影任何製作模式，泰盧固版本才是原汁原味印度影片，很多很好導演前往好萊塢製作電影環境，因題材限制無法發揮專長，導致電影很糟糕，可惜了。
Kantara deserve its own video
Thank you very much
Tbf lot of old Hollywood movies have insider comedic relief moments as well
Why would someone give a thumbs down? Strange ! I loved this Thanks Hurtadoji. You are half Indian 🤣 already.

Nutshells off RRR MOVIE
(Rise -Roar -Revolt) Telugu film Industry,India.(Tollywood)
1) Time period of 1920 yr.. True, Real Freedom fighters, seeta rama raju from andhra pradesh state and Komuram bheem from telangana statess, in history both of them Raju and bheem were from same timeline but never met each other in reality, in original history they both went missing for 4 years during this 1920 time period, no one knows where they went and what they did, but after 4 years they both returned to their villages and fought their own fights and both sacrificed their lives for our country, Director rajamouli hv woven a fictional story that what happens if they met each other, and exchange their ideas and ideologies in the time period they went missing... That's how this movie was born.... This movie is about India's freedom from british rule,
deologies in the time period they went missing... That's how this movie was born.... This movie is about India's freedom from british rule,
2) whole story concept revealed instantly with an a logic instant ideas applying to the scenes,
On Train blast incident, Ramraju catches a flag (a strong will for freedom mission resembles a Flag) n Komuram Bheem save a child (resembles as saviour to get back a girl , mission of Bheem ) exchanged by them, their missions..
2) In RRR we find the performances of english actors far better, that's because rajamouli approached professionals, the one who played Scott is "Ray Stevenson" one who acted in "Thor" movies, one who played lady Scott is "Alison doody" the lead actress from indiana jones....
..
Rrr released in more than 10languages across the world..
Telugu is original version
TELUGU FILM INDUSTRY,(Tollywood), Hyderabad City (Bhagyanagari),2 Telugu States ,India. (Telangana n Andhra Pradesh states)
3) When ram captures bheem's clan member, he catches a snake n attacks ram even though he is tied, that man catching the snake is justified coz they r gond tribals, they know everything abt every animal, how to trap and catch them, n how to treat animal attacks using natural ayurvedic remedies, since they were born n brought up in jungle along with those animals n plants, that's how even jr NTR is able to tame n control the animals during interval sequence....
That song jr NTR sings while being whipped "komaram bheemudo", few non indian and north indian audience may find the song lil distasteful because they r unaware of the importance of the song, the gond tribe (the telangana people) who faced many tortures under the nijam rule, hv developed a habit of singing folklore songs explaining their pain n oppression for years, these songs kind of made those people stronger n revolt against nijams, similarly at the end of the song people revolt, even now a days these songs r famous in Telangana area, we andhra n telangana people r familiar with such songs, but north indian n non indian audience may not hv any idea abt it, even the song komaram bheemudo was written by one of the famous revolutionary singer from telangana area, if u concentrate on the lyrics of the song we can feel the oppression his people r facing....
4) the subtext or easter egg about the "Barbed whip" that lady scott threw to torture jr NTR is that in the climax when the Scott's empire blows up when lady scott died we can see her body hanging in "Barbed wires" implying that she finally got what she deserved.... "karma is a bitch"🤭🤭🤣
5)near the climax when jr NTR knocks on the floor to find ram who was imprisoned in the ground, he actually knocks the same beats of Nacho Nacho song, so that only ram charan could recognise it's him rather than other possible prisoners, ram charan also reciprocates by knocking the same beat of nacho nacho, even in the earlier scene when ram charam is bit by snake he plays the same beats to communicate with jr NTR, the cinematic brilliance of rajamouli for using a song in so many ways giving easter eggs all the way around is lit🔥🔥🔥 hatsoff to rajamouli 🙏
6) In a scene where they show the security measures of the palace they had 2 doors at entrance, only after closing the 1st door they will open 2nd door, if we observe both the doors clearly and also if we listen to the creek sounds of both doors, we would know the outer door is a wooden one, and the inner door is a metal one, so to rescue malli they can break the outer door but they can't break the inner door, that's the reason y the character jhangu climbs a tree and listens for the 2nd door to open to rescue malli in interval scene... Every small detail in this movie is well planned and well executed...
7) the scene about bheem carrying ram in the climax sequence may seem a bit overemphasized, but even earlier in the film in dosti song there was a shot giving easter eggs, where we can see jr ntr doing squats on the ground lifting ram charan, then ram charan does pull ups holding a tree branch, this way rajamouli is planting an idea subconsciously to his audience that jr ntr got lower body strength n ram charan got upper body strength... So that audience get convinced during the climax scene where bheem carries ram... Even the scene seems physically impossible, rajamouli never hesitates to show his ideas n imaginations in the mostmost convincing way possible, that scene may be impossible but u could never find any other director pulling of such a scene in any film like rajamouli... Respect....
8) The same way In climax fight sequence bheem lifting a bike looks over the top for sure, but do u know those bikes were actually used during second world war time so that in any unforeseen situation during war the soldiers can actually carry the bikes, those bikes weight around 55kgs only, i agree that even 55 kg bike travelling at 50kmph velocity is difficult to be lifted... But look at the way it was imagined, presented,picturized, the mesmerising cinematography in that scene, the kind of goosebumps it gave us, we should watch the movie for its epicness, rather than being nitpicky about everything....
9) At the climax that transformation of ram charan🔥🔥, many people thought that was sree ram's avatar, there are many indian purana's references to the movie for sure but its not only sree ram's avatar, it is also about the original look of Alluri seeta rama raju (the freedom fighter ram charan was playing), alluri seeta rama raju in history was well learnt man who wears those kashayam clothes fights with bow n arrows, probably the best archer india has ever had, he fought against britishers he got weapons n guns by attacking police stations n british camps, he used the same weapons to attack britishers with his trusted men... Even he was shot dead bybritishers in the freedom struggle... Legend says that britishers put around 100 bullets in his body n ruthlessly killed him... At the end of the film rajamouli showed ram n bheem in their original looks ram wearing kashayam clothes, with long hair n beard, bheem with a pagdi on his head n those clothes gond people used to wear...
10) the final RRR fact, For the interval sequence with animals rajamouli shot for around 65 nights, each night they spent around 75lakhs for the shoot itself... In that interval sequence they had to imagine animals were there n fight accordingly, for that to happen n so that each n every background artist to be in sync with the CG animals rajamouli employed different tactics while shoot
a) for bear they used a person wearing green blanket, since the movement of bear is slow similar to a human being...
b)For shots with tiger, tiger moves much faster than humans, so they can't just place a human with green blanket, so rajamouli positioned laser lights following the head position of the tiger, so that camera man n actors can imagine the position of tiger n act accordingly.
c) for wolves they used dogs which were trained to catch a ball, while shooting the sequence they randomly throw the balls in middle of men, so the dogs chase the balls, in that way rajamouli captured peoples reactions to wolves, later on during CG he replaced the dogs with wolves...
d) for other fast moving animals like deers, they used remote controlled cars moving in between the actors....

You made such an effort to put all these things together, all Kudos to you.
Rajamouli's father wrote the story of "Bajrangi Bhaijaan"
Really good movie!
As Josh rightly said, RRR is an anomaly. Most Indian movies are catered to local audience and their mindset. They may not appeal to the global audience. There is more chaff than wheat as well. Only a handful of directors do something new/good. With RRR's success, the entire Indian industry will probably now take notice of it and try to be more sensible and disciplined in their projects.
I would recommend exploring more movies especially from different movie industries in India .
Kantara , Karthikeya 2 , Kashmir Files ,Queen , Tashkent Files ,Syre Narshimha Reddy , URI , Sardar Udham Singh , PS1 , Nayika Devi , Major .
Josh oh god his knowledge about the rajamouli films, i was surprised
*"RRR" Was An Indian film (Made on a Budget of $69 Million), Then It's Box Office Collection Was $160 Milloin, imagine, If it Was A Hollywood(In English) film, Then it Was Seen All Over The World, Then How Much Would it's Box Office Collection.* 🤔
*Imagine S S Rajamouli With The Budget Of Marvel Films, That Guy Will Create The Greatest Movies Ever.* 🤔
U guys need to watch "Tumbaad" and "Sardar Udham" and thank me later 👍🏻
Super super super super 👏
Next rajamouli-esque talent from India is nag Ashwin imo . Watch his previous movies like Yevade subramanyam and mahanati . They are great . Watch out for his next sci fi film called project k . Please review his previous movies

Jai NTR Anna ❤️❤️❤️
Hope Ram Charan gets nominated for Best actor and NTR gets nominated for Best Supporting Actor 🙏
Come on supporting actor for NTR? They are both lead actors in RRR Bheem is not a supporting character is of the leads and everyone understands that. They both deserves nominations in that category but we have not seen it in the award circuit so I doubt the academy would go that way.
❤🔥🔥🔥
RRR was a movie for the masses Kantara is a transcendental experience ❤️
Josh, there are lots of non musicals in Telugu especially in the last decade
As far as recommendations goes. I like to recommend Ram Leela with Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh because it is a remake of Romeo and Juliet but with Indian roots. The cinematography is spectacular and the story telling is very engaging.
Also Raazi which is a spy thriller with Alia Bhatt( Seetha in RRR) , she is a big star as well, all her movies are worth a watch.
Guys watch Pushpa
NTR
If you like cinema, the movie 'Qala' is incredible, and the movie "The Last Show / Chhello Show" (India's Oscar submission for foreign film) is just lovely.
Qala has a lot of historical inaccuracies. It’s designed to bash Kashmiri Hs. Nothing more. Typical Hindumisic Bollywood movie.
this insightful channel has only 1.5k subs while Film companion has milliions...sigh
Jai NTR 🤙🤙🤙
react on kantara and kgf 2 and pushpa
Not kgf and pushpa comeon man
Guys RRR is just a spark... India have so many amazing history which will blow your guys mind...
if you wish to see more movies like RRR. then push request to Rajamauli to give first prior to Mahabharat...
Mahabharat is huge package like Avenger where each character have their own back story. and Mahabharat is End game.
So convince SS rajamauli to give you all Mahabharat with detail where you wish to know every character back story.
We have huge history against Mughals and Britishers so push those concept on Rajamauli make him to make those movies.
I am Marathi guy from Maharashtra, Mumbai and I want to see my Tollywood brother flourish and make India proud

sardar udham (2021)
Great rec
Brilliant movie
Please ... for. heaven's sake ... how can you leave out PS-1 { PONNIYEN SELVAN - 1 } ...
which is TAMIL CINEMA'S Magnus Opus by MANI RATNAM.
Also for North Indian Movies this year ... please watch India's answer to " Bobby Sands " on AMAZON PRIME ... called ...
SARDAR UDHAM .
No Songs ... 120 minutes ... Oscar worthy ... Rivals " GANDHI " by Richard Attenborough ... !!!
Because that is an acquired taste. It is not something to recommend for new Indian cinema audience. They have to be eased into it. It is very cultural as you know. Once they get into it they will find movies like PS1 for sure. Like I thought Sanjay Leela Bansali should have been mentioned as one of the great directors of India.
Who cares about that PS1 in this PS5 era?
People outside Tamil Nadu don't even remember it lol.
Most boring & not appealing to Indians outside Tamil Nadu. Even the names are cringey to pronounce.

Telugu films : knows how to connect emotionally to audience
Tamil films : advanced technicalities n gorgious shots
Malayalam films : simple n very well written script
Kannada films : more epic n grand
Hindi films: more imaginative n experimental but little to add more about Hindi film are : they experimental films but almost all Hindi movies are Anti cultural n anti traditional which makes them anti national agenda movies which always glorifies terrorist n criminal activities n vulgar kissing scenes n bikini scenes are the USP of Hindi films actually Hindi film are equal to Amazon n Netflix which is more of a left leaning political ideology ie. More vulgar language n scenes and glorification of wrong things n bad doing n sympathy for criminals ....
Jai hind jai bharat......
Wow I do not understand when did Hindi cinema glorified criminals? I do agree that they are trying to be like the West using foul language and such now which ia totally unecessary for story telling. But they have some really good movies as well. I tried to get into Malayalam movies and the first movie I came across was a movie about two lesbians. I did not bother to watch it because we get enough woke nonsense from Hollywood. Not all movies are good but I guarantee you there bad movies in all of the industries including across the world.
@@binthamadicamara2077 yes there r bad industries across the world but father of those bad industries is Hindi cinema, there are lot of movies which anti culture n tradition and about glorification of criminals then some example Haider with Shahid Kapoor , haseena palkar with shraddha kapoor there r lot of examples u get ....
@@vikassomvanshi1848 have u watched qala ?
An action hero ?
Watch them u will understand hindi cinema makes good movies
And Telugu Tamil also shows vulgar scenes u don't know kif
Bollywood went hyper fundamentally woke ages ago , we in India don't even watch that crap anymore.
I died a little, when he said the entire world is getting interested in south Indian cinema.
BUT bollywood makes only shitty movies tbh and are overhyped.
And India as a whole should disassociate with bollywood.
Hahahaha
Tumbaad,1920,
U should watch drishyam, jana gana mana.
It's just west downplays indian filmmakers and their work. Many indian films are better than eventual Oscar winners like coda spotlight etc etc. If you see malayalam tamil their drama films are comparable to hollywood. But hollywood lives on its own superiority model. I watched sardar udham jallikattu and i can proudly say it was better than most hollywood films that year. Hope RRR makes west especially hollywood to realise they are not superior there is a whole artists that are living in subcontinent that are greater than them in arts.yes they have technology but in story telling indians are second to none. Still sad that after satyajit ray west is recognising RRR. So many great films left in middle. But it's too little too late
