At the heart of RRR are the performances of its lead actors, Ram Charan and Jr NTR, whose portrayals have resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. The film's narrative, set against the backdrop of India's pre-independence era, is a tale of valour, friendship, and sacrifice.

One of the highlights of RRR is its soul-stirring soundtrack, featuring the chart-topping song ‘Naatu Naatu’. This composition not only garnered widespread acclaim but also clinched the prestigious Best Original Song Award at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes 2023.
