MUMBAI: RRR triumphs at the Critics' Choice Awards: After recently making history at the Golden Globes, SS Rajamouli's RRR made India proud at the Critics' Choice Awards. At the 28th Critics' Choice Awards, held on Sunday night in Los Angeles, the well-liked historical drama took home the trophy for "Best Foreign Language Film."
"Congratulations to the cast and crew of @RRRMovie – winners of the #criticschoice Award for Best Foreign Language Film. #CriticsChoiceAwards (sic)," a tweet read by the handle of the 28th Critics' Choice Awards.
RRR competed against films including "All Quiet on the Western Front," "Argentina 1985," "Bardo," "False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths," "Close," and "Decision to Leave'' before winning the "Best Original Song - Motion Picture" Award for "Naatu Naatu." The movie, which stars Jr. NTR and Ram Charan in the lead roles, has been getting a lot of love in the West as it pursues Oscar nominations.
Rajamouli wore traditional attire to the international awards ceremony on Sunday to further exhibit his culture. The well-known director accepted the prestigious award in Los Angeles while dressed in a black sherwani kurta, a pair of beige slacks, and a shawl.
One of the most expensive Indian movies ever was RRR. Rajamouli imagines the adventures taken by two South Indian rebels who actually took part in the Indian revolution. In Rajmouli's reality, Alluri Seetharam Raju and Komaram Bheem are envisioned as buddies who are fighting the British Raj together despite the fact that they actually fought in distinct eras in real life. Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris are among the notable actors who appear in the movie.
The director spoke to a gathering of journalists at the Directors Guild of America before the screening of RRR. Rajamouli stated when introducing his movie, "This film is not from Bollywood. I'm from the south of India, and this is a Telugu movie. However, rather than pausing the movie to let you enjoy some music or dance, I use songs to advance the plot and the film.
To advance the plot, I make use of their components." Jr. NTR spoke with Rajamouli about working with the director and how grateful he is for the chance to be a part of the conversation that followed the film's screening.
