IMDb plot summary: A fictitious story about two legendary revolutionaries and their journey away from home before they started fighting for their country in 1920s.

RRR is an Indian movie set during British rule of India. It tells the story of two men who become friends, one who is a British police officer and one who is trying to retrieve a girl kidnapped from his village by one of the British city leaders. They don't realize at first that their goals are opposite to each other, but when they do it strains their friendship. This movie got a lot of attention for its over-the-top action sequences, and those are indeed pretty delightful. It only has a couple of songs, but those songs are used to incredible effect -- far better to have only a few that are done well than a whole bunch that don't really matter. And most of all, the story of these two men's bond is heartwarming and well told. We get flashbacks showing their pasts and what brought the two of them to be the people they are today, and seeing those back stories makes it so easy to root for both of them to get what they want and reconnect. Are the action scenes wild and fun and unpredictable? Absolutely. But there's also a core to this movie that works just as well.
