Talking about the film, it is a fictional tale based on the lives of real-life pre-Independence revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem who fought against the British Raj. It also stars Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in extended cameos. The movie furthermore features Olivia Morris, Ray Stevenson, and Allison Doody in pivotal roles.

Desimartini’s review for RRR read, “SS Rajamouli has once woven a sheer opulence be it through the diverse sub-plots, fierce performances, and extravagant execution in RRR. The most validating factor of the movie is that despite the signature Rajamouli style 'overly majestic' action sequences and performances, this movie does not come across as caricaturish or forced. The writing by Vijayendra Prasad is nuanced but the movie falters in the screenplay.”
