The most-awaited film 'RRR' is finally in the theatres now. The film bagged a universal positive talk right from the premiere shows and fans are now over the moon. SS Rajamouli proved to everyone once again why he is called the topmost director in India right now. NTR and Charan have delivered their career-best performances while Rajamouli seems to have gotten his 12th blockbuster. People are curious to know about the range of success rather than the verdict which explains that 'RRR' has already got a superb talk.
Since it is a pan-Indian film, we need to know what the national media thinks about this magnum opus. There were high expectations on this film in the North as it is Rajamouli's immediate film after the 'Baahubali' franchise. Looks like they were also mightily impressed with 'RRR'. This is what some of the popular National Media outlets said for Rajamouli's high-budget multi-starrer.
'Times of India' gave 3.5/5 stars for 'RRR' and said, "The climax leaves more to be desired. The good thing however is that the film manages to surprise you. Rajamouli also manages to use certain tropes set up in the initial portions of the film in the latter portions cleverly. Nonetheless, Rajamouli manages to pull off something people have been pining for â a commercial, action drama that will keep you thoroughly entertained â which it does. The length also doesn't prove to be a hindrance, thanks to a tight screenplay. The VFX in certain portions could've been better."
'India Today' too gave 3.5/5 and praised the film. They wrote, "RRR is Jr NTR and Ram Charan's show all the way. They have literally lived the roles and have given their all for the film. Be it the dance sequences or the strenuous fight scenes, you can see the amount of hard work that these two actors have put in. RRR is technically sound. MM Keeravani's music, Senthil Kumar's cinematography, Sreekar Prasad's editing and the computer graphics compliment each other so well. When it all comes together, what you see is nothing short of a visual spectacle. Though there are shortcomings, RRR is a film that deserves a watch on the big screens."
'News18' stated, "The sheer physicality and intensity of Ram Charan and NTR is a sight to behold. Their camaraderie is simply amazing. Rajamouli has given his own take to the two characters by describing Ram as fire and Bheem as water. They both shoulder the film without showing any burden. Rajamouli deserves a salute for his vision and ambition. RRR is a visual extravaganza that the audience must feast on."
Coming to 'Republic World', they said, "As a period actioner, the film aims to score high on the storyline but the grip eventually loosens a little in the second half. The last 10 minutes where the protagonists leave their rivalry behind seems to catch the attention. In brevity, RRR is suited for those who love action flicks backed with power-packed stunts and well-directed combat sequences without questioning the plot holes. It manages to entertain but commands the audiences to drop every ounce of logic and expectations of a credible storyline."
'Pinkvilla too gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and explained, "RRR celebrates Indian cinema in all its glory. SS Rajamouli brings in his own vision of creating big canvas drama with all the larger-than-life action around a routine tale of friendship. And it's his conviction and ability to think big that takes the world of RRR to the next level despite some limitations at the script level in terms of a simplistic core conflict. RRR has the best action sequences to offer in an Indian film with an unimaginable interval block and a roaring finale. Be assured, despite some flaws in the second half, you will be invested in this big canvas world of Rajamouli in the times when India was a "Sone Ki Chidiya". It's rightfully termed India's biggest action drama."
