S. S. Rajamouli's RRR: A visual feast, but what else? – Firstpost

The long and eagerly awaited Rajamouli epic, the follow-up to the phenomenal Baahubali is here, but does RRR live up to the hype and expectations? There is a distinct sense of imbalance in the presentation, far removed from the unwavering solid narration of Baahubali where Rajamouli climbed the exquisite incline of periodicity borrowed from Amar Chitra Katha comics, without stumbling even once. The plot is incredibly shoddy and haphazard, as though the period of its occurrence was a time when the British behaved like clowns and villains in brocade while the desi population was filled with beefy brave hearts rescuing damsels in distress. If you have seen Mithun Chakraborty following the same character graph in the 1980 film Hum Panch, you would know the difference between an actor struggling across the graph and another getting there.
