Saw RRR this weekend. I've never had a fever dream but this made me think I was watching a 3-hour superhero Bollywood Rambo during a fever dream. So over the top and brutal and then suddenly, song or dance time.

The symbolism and metaphor from a different language and culture is like running poetry through google translate. I kind of get the broad meaning but I also feel like I was missing a lot of detail and cultural cues, not least of which is Alluri Sita Ramaraju and Komaram Bheem being historical figures.
