Culture news “It was spectacular”: James Cameron praises this film which dares everything, Hollywood must learn from it!
Rather little known here, the Indian film industry is in reality colossal and is home to excellent surprises like RRR: this 2022 feature film was particularly acclaimed © when it was released and in particular by a certain… James Cameron.
RRR, an Indian gem with a great reputation
RRRnot to be confused with our very French “RRRrrrr!!!”, is an Indian film released in 2022: it follows the story of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, two citizens engaging in a gigantic revolution in India in the 1920s. Both historical – the two characters really existed – and epic (the whole thing turns out to be extremely romantic and quite extroverted), the feature film was extremely well received by the Indian… but also international press. It even won the Oscar and the Golden Globe for best original song as well as the Saturn Awards for best international film, just that.
In fact, RRR is one of the country’s most successful films, grossing over $175 million at the box office, making it the third biggest Indian blockbuster in history. Beyond the remarkable performance of the two main actors, it is the director SS Rajamouli who is often acclaimedwho also scored the second highest score at the Indian box office with “The Legend of Baahubali – Part 2”.
His ultra-spectacular sense of combat, music, photography and the general grandeur of the staged revolution propelled RRR to the forefront: it was not just the Western press that been seduced, but also great directors known to everyone from the United States. Like James Cameron, to name just one.
RRR dubbed by Cameron
When James Cameron compliments another director, there is reason to be delighted. The man behind the biggest hit in cinema history – Avatar and its $2.923 billion box office – recently attended an awards show, during which he was asked his feelings about RRR.
I was already honest back then when I said that it was truly spectacular work. It’s great to see Indian cinema bursting onto the global stage with wide acceptance.
These praises from the father of Titanic, Aliens and other Terminators were obviously noticed by the creators of RRR, who made a small statement: “Your words are precious to us and always inspire us to improve and be better. We are confident that Indian cinema will break all boundaries and develop fully.”
Being one of the hottest directors in Bollywood, SS Rajamouli is currently working on his next projecta drama and adventure film starring national superstar Mahesh Babu. The context will be set in particular in the African jungles, even with inspiration from Indiana Jones according to screenwriter Vijayendra Prasad. A film that will be just as successful as the filmmaker’s previous production?
