Indian action movies for about the past decade have had one goal: "Be the next 'Bahubali'." Even Bahubali himself hasn't quite managed. (See "Saaho").

"RRR"... Damn near manages...

Action... Friendship... Divided loyalties... Betrayal... Redemption... CGI wild animals... Heinous villains... Mild homoeroticicm... Heart-wrenching torture... Noble soicism... Epic dance battles... (Wait, WHAT??!?!?)... Yeppers: An epic dance battle, right smack in the middle of the movie.

Rao and Charan are perfectly balanced foils for each other, although it is a bit of a shame Ajay Devgn has just a cameo role.

The three hour run-time may seem a bit daunting, but once you get stuck in, you won't notice. The historic anachronisms you WILL notice, but DO forgive them, as they mean well.

Long story short: Suspend that disbelief, hop on the crazy train, and enjoy the ride!

I kept watching and hoping at some point this movie would start making sense.

No such luck. It just gets more convoluted and incoherent as it progresses. The "plot twists" are utterly lame - either predictable or from so out of left field as to be pointless - and Aditya's "disorder" is a sad attempt at using a real phenomenon to advance a ridiculous plot.

Several good actors did the best they could with a truly pathetic script and a debutante director of very little talent. It wasn't enough.

Learn from my mistake, and spend two hours watching grass grow, instead. It will be more fulfilling, and less of a time-waste.
