They had me at comparisons to 'RRR'. Such an awesome movie.

Have you seen Baahubali as well? Also awesome...

Hadn't heard of it tbh. But I'll look it up.

It's a two part epic.

But if you liked RRR you're in for a treat! They're both on Netflix...

Domestic opening weekend $5m, $10m if you include opening Thurs. Amazing this was produced for just 70 or 80 million.
