The period action drama boasting a pan-India cast including Ram Charan, Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt opened to a thundering response across the nation and worldwide. The film that hit theatres on March 25, earned an impressive figure of Rs 267 crores at the box office on day one and it seems like the film will continue to gain in the days ahead.
Set in 1920, 'RRR' explores the undocumented period in the lives of Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) and Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan), when both the revolutionaries choose to go into oblivion before they joined the fight for independent India. The film has explored a blind spot in history for a cinematic spectacle, as there seem to be no records about what happened in the lives of these freedom fighters when they were away from their homes. Also starring Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, the film hit theatres on March 25.
