Telugu cinema’s slide towards the right-wing
Nikhil Siddhartha, a small-time Telugu actor, has earned the tag of a ‘pan-India’ star mainly by indulging Hindutva sentiments. But does this signal a larger political, ideological shift for Telugu cinema?

Looked this up after the Oscars. Quite sensational choreography and filming from the hit Indian movie #RRR: Naatu Naatu Full Video (Telugu). I learned this isn’t Bollywood, but #Tollywood, as it’s from a different region and language, Telugu https://youtu.be/OsU0CGZoV8E #NaatuNaatu
So I finally watched 'RRR'. It is my first real Indian/Tollywood movie (I watched an Indian SF movie a while back). Once I realized that it was a superhero/epic/musical/fantasy I suspended my disbelief and got into it. The movie is gorgeous, the effects are spectacular, the singing and dancing are wonderful (even though I couldn't understand what they were saying), and the story was great. I think Ram Charan might be the sexiest man alive. #RRR #Film #CineMastodon #Tollywood #RamCharan

RRR's Abuse and Distortion of History Is Vulgar
The movie was everything I expected it to be: extremely well made and lavishly mounted. The story was absurd and the distance from reality was of solar proportions.

How Bollywood Rolled Over to Hindu Supremacists
The Hindi movie industry’s pluralistic and liberal ethos—Bollywood’s three leading men are Muslims—is resented by India’s current rulers, writes Debashish Roy Chowdhury.

I watched #RRR. Now I'm a US American with little knowledge of Indian cinema, so I'm sure I missed so much cultural context. I know it was vaguely based on true events but also based on Hindu mythology.
The important thing is I was expecting a cheesy, so-bad-it's-good, over-the-top movie. Instead, it was a remarkably well made and acted, but yes, incredibly over-the-top movie.
Unashamedly revolutionary and riding that line between awesome and silly, I really enjoyed it.
RRR>Brahmastra P.1, although I am partial to Arijit Singh songs. #Tollywood #Bollywood #mastindia #cinema #film #movies #justmyopinion
