RRR 2022
Sensational, incredible, audacious, and jaw dropping in every sense of the word. RRR is a delight from start to finish. It’s over the top but filled with daring action sequences, prolific storytelling, and some killer musical/dance numbers. This 1000% lives up to the hype. Nominate Naatu Naatu you cowards!
