Please notify me at least 1 day before publishing such polls (polls based on IMDb stats). This list was made 7-8 months ago. I could have updated it.

I don't know if I will watch RRR. I disliked Baahubali by the same director.

IMDb Poll: Metacritic's Top Indian Films

Polls mean nothing 

I decided to watch the film to make my own opinion. Honestly, it is quite good. 6/10

Very colorful. All the action I wanted (perhaps the prison break sequence was a bit too much, but it it was very funny). Betrayal stories just as in Baahubali, cool flashbacks. The romances are really weird, I did not get where S.S. Rajamouli was going. Is Sita the fiancee of Rama or his sister? if she is both I won't judge the culture, but it confused me because in the flasback sequences they both call the same woman "mother".

PS: After the bad impression she had left on me with Gangubai Kathiawadi. Alia Bhatt redeemed herself a bit, I think it will take 20 other films for me to pardon her.

Before many people in India, especially in villages, used to address elderly women as "Maa" (mother) or "Kaki" (Aunty) and men as "Baba" (Father) (You may have heard "Bapu" before) or "Kaka" (Uncle) out of respect and love. Some still do. But this doesn't mean they are related.

In English countries, you may address them as "Sir" and although we also have a word for it, "Shrimaan", it is very professional. we just casually call them;

- Chacha/Chachi (Father's older brother/sister or brother's wife) (very popular nowadays)

- Kaka/Kaki (Father's young brother/sister or brother's wife)

- Mama or Mamu (Mother's brother)

- Bhabhi (We used this sometime to address our's friend's wife. It means brother's wife.)

And elderly people just use two words to address young people and that is Beta (son) and Beti (daughter).

We can call these to people who we just met. Whose names we do not even know. We'll simply address them using words and skip the trouble of asking their names which we have to remember later. This last line was a joke btw.

It's just like calling someone "bro" or "sis". We just take it to the next level. 😂

In the film, Sita is his fiancee.

All romances and action scenes in many Indian films (especially fight scenes in South Indian films) make no sense. They just show it for the sake of entertainment and majority of people love it. So they keep making it. They add all kinds of stuff and mix them. Action, comedy, sadness, happiness, music and dance (last two more important than anything else 😂). Everything mixed together. Majority of the Indian audiences love it. They just want something that's not normal. Something they don't see everyday. To escape the fucked up reality and their depressed life and live in a fantasy even for a short period of time. That's why films like this are success in India. I'm not saying RRR was meaningless. It was good. I liked it. But if you show Indian audiences this film and Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List (just taken as example) majority of us are gonna watch RRR and not the other two. The foremost reason is that it doesn't have a happy ending. Most Indians don't see films as an art or from a creative perspective. We watch them just for the sake of entertainment. And sometimes, so do I.

Edit: Before any of you fuckers come here and misinterpret that I meant to say RRR is better than Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. Let me make it clear it is not. Not even fucking close.
