RRR, a Telugu movie, tells the fictionalized story of two brilliant Indian freedom fighters, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. The movie depicts their struggles and journeys as they fight against the colonial rule of the British Empire and the Nizams of Hyderabad. With incredible actors from both Tollywood and Bollywood, including Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Alia Bhatt, and Ajay Devgan, the movie was fabulous enough to grab everyone’s attention. In a world filled with different kinds of movies, RRR stands out with a classic style.

The re-release of RRR in 2024 is a super exciting moment for every cinephile. With cool fights, an incredible storyline, amazing visuals and, of course, fantastic songs, can RRR’s second theatrical run break its own record?

Having debuted in October 2022, RRR has amassed a staggering gross total of Rs 1271.30 crore in global box-office collections.
