Check out what critics have to say about the film:
News 18: "The simplistic, predictable story and the slowing down of the pace in the second half is the chink in the film’s armor. But it has to be said here that Rajamouli is a consummate craftsman who sweeps you up in filmmaking. It requires foresight, guts, vision and of course, the financial muscle to bring to life a lavish spectacle on the giant screen. And Rajamouli uses his strengths and opportunities to accomplish what a majority of storytellers can only talk about or dream of."
Deccan Herald: "Stories in Rajamouli's films aren't rocket science. Mostly written by his father Vijayendra Prasad, his films are mainly fantasy tales. But where Rajamouli stands out is in the manner he presents them on the big screen. He has pushed his imagination as far as the VFX and action sequences are concerned. You are left with one spectacle after the other (warning: long ones) and it's a pure joy for those who found masala films to be jaded in these times."
The News Minute: "There are two ways to approach RRR - one, unquestioningly buy into the spectacle that it offers, and two, to read it with the real-life characters who inspired it and examine if the film pays homage to them or destroys their legacy. As a reviewer, I’m torn between my impulse to just enjoy the experience and my awareness of the power of cinema to rewrite narratives. So, let me attempt to do both." RRR: Fans Disappointed After SS Rajamouli’s Film Has No Kannada Version In Karnataka, Trend #BoycottRRRinKarnataka On Twitter.
The Hindu: "There is a story that can potentially move you, make you weep for the characters — but it lies buried beneath the overarching effort to mount one visual spectacle after another. Rousing introductory sequences for both the stars and an extended pre-interval sequence where their energies, represented by fire and water, collide, are all presented with jaw-dropping visuals, punctuated by the superbly choreographed ‘Naatu naatu’ (‘ Nacho nacho’ in Hindi) song."
TOI: "The last time director SS Rajamouli managed to wow the audience was in 2017 with the film Baahubali: The Conclusion. It took him five long years for him to conceptualise his next film RRR (also dubbed in Hindi), shoot and bring it to the silver screen. Pulling off a multi-starrer with Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead roles might seem an accomplishment in itself. But Rajamouli manages to deliver even when it comes to the story."
