RRR is a 2022 Indian Telugu-language epic action drama film directed by S. S. Rajamouli, who co-wrote the film with V. Vijayendra Prasad. It was produced by D. V. V. Danayya of DVV Entertainment. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris.
Made on a budget of ₹550 crore ($66 million), RRR was the most expensive Indian film at the time. The film was released theatrically on 25 March 2022. RRR emerged as the highest-grossing film in its home market of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, grossing over ₹405.9 crore (US$48 million) and surpassing Rajamouli's previous film Baahubali 2. The film grossed ₹1,125.9 crore ($405–472 million) worldwide, setting several box office records for an Indian film, including the third highest-grossing Indian film and second highest-grossing Telugu film worldwide.
The film has received various awards and nominations. The film was considered to be one of the best films of the year by the National Board of Review, making it only the second non-English film ever to make it to the list. With its win for Best Original Song at the 80th Golden Globe Awards, "Naatu Naatu" became the first Asian as well as the first Indian song to win the award.
