RRR Movie Review: Rancid. Redundant. Ridiculous

    As always, very good review which scores brownie points with the comparison between Sankar and SSR. Sankar lost his midas touch with the storyline after the death of his screenwriter Sujatha. SSR has been slowly falling into sunken place with his own mistakes of becoming a slave to exploitation of technology over story and character arcs. Gone are the days of Chatrapathi and Vikramarkudu.

    *Director Sankar’s sheer works of brilliant story telling shall remain untouchable and beyond the real of a 100+ RRR’s or Magadheeras! *
    Enjoyed the much-needed bold review, was an absolute eye-opener and agreed wholeheartedly to many of the shared view points. Then again sorry a ‘Huge NO NO NO’.. One does not simply compare the brilliant, well-versed, proven and non-compromising legendary story crafter of a director like Mr. Sankar with anyone, especially the likes of SSR! It’s simply beyond comparison how well all of Sankars movies have aged and have always retained rewatch value thanks to unwavering, brilliant content even in the lyrics of many of the songs in his most of his movies. So he does his movies may be experimental for a large part but they have real world relatability for any viewer and always the story stands tall above all else. 🍷

One does not simply compare the brilliant, well-versed, proven and non-compromising legendary story crafter of a director like Mr. Sankar with anyone, especially the likes of SSR because he clearly compromised the story of RRR purely in favor of illogical heroism and dishonest fan-pleasing (Unfortunately end of the day his movie ‘RRR’ fails even at the intended fan pleasing!!) surely it may not age well like Bahubali nor does it impress even today. Further, it’s simply beyond comparison how well all of Sankar’s movies have aged technically and theamatically and have always retained rewatch value with all age groups thanks to unwavering, brilliant content and meaningful universal themes attached even in the lyrics of many of the songs in most of his movies (Try the title song of Endhiran / ROBO for size!) So his movies may be experimental for a large part but they have real-world relatability for any viewer (Possibility of societal change, through a single bit brilliant one-day only honest and bold head of state in Mudalvan) always the story stands tall above all else and Sankar never to date compromised on it ever right?. Else prove me wrong name one movie that he compromised story in a illogical dishonest way. 🍷

    […] storytelling is evolving. One cannot just stick to standard movie-making and raise the stakes. SS Rajamouli has similar problems yet he is finding ways to at least give his own fans moments to cherish. […]
