Recently, the Telugu epic action drama film 'RRR'won the Best Directortrophy for SS Rajamouli at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. The win has taken the film's Oscar chances up a notch.
The film was not officially submitted to the Academy by the Indian government for the Best International Feature category. However, later, 'Baahubali' director Rajamouli submitted the film to the Oscars in 14 categories in the "For Your Consideration" campaign.
The makers have asked for consideration in multiple categories, including best picture (DVV Danayya), best director (SS Rajamouli), best actor (Jr. NTR and Ram Charan), and more.
Not just in India, but 'RRR' has become a worldwide phenomenon. The movie was recently released in Japan, where it became the second-highest-grossing Indian film in the country, surpassing Rajamouli's 'Baahubali 2'.Not only this, but the movie has also become the fastest Indian film to enter the JPY 300 million club (approximately Rs 17 crore).
In recent months, many Hollywood directors and filmmakers have praised the film. Wion's film critic, Shomini Sen, called the film a "superhero film set in pre-independent India." She wrote, "RRR is a superhero fantasy film. It's best not to compare it to Rajamouli's immensely successful 'Baahubali'franchise, and it isn't even as sharp as "Eega." It was perhaps set out to be a masala entertainer, and it is just that. But could a filmmaker of SS Rajamouli's stature have made a film with a more coherent plotline? "Yes, for sure."
