It's a wild, crazy, long experience, but it was a great watch. Truly enjoyed it.

Please check it out if you have Netflix.

1. I wonder if this is the one I heard about

that was well-regarded, in the last year or so?

A historical journey exploring India's past?

2. Probably.

It's a long one at 3 hours.

"The Telugu-language Indian action spectacular “RRR,” or “Rise, Roar, Revolt,” was already a worldwide box office winner when it was released in March, grossing $65 million during its opening weekend. But it took an unusual second release for the period epic from the director S.S. Rajamouli to become a word-of-mouth smash across the United States. Now in its 10th week, it’s the rare Indian hit to catch on with American viewers outside the Indian diaspora, thanks to the unusual decision to relaunch the film weeks after it had already played across the country on 1,200 screens.

Set in Delhi during the early 1920s, “RRR” follows two patriotic but philosophically opposed men (Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) as they first clash with each other, then team up to rescue a kidnapped girl (Twinkle Sharma) from a pair of sadistic British colonial officials (Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson)."...(more)

5. It's reaching cult status here in the US.

Has a ton of energy.

4. We watched it

I don’t usually like action/violence/fantasy at all, but I have to say this was pretty fun— a visual delight with some great dance production numbers. Very colorful!
